      It’s weird that they don’t mention that medical marijuana is legal, and getting a card is as easy as making a phone call and giving them your credit card. There’s no reason anyone should be arrested for simple possession alone.

        Admittedly, it’s not a state I’ve ever lived in. I just happen to also live in one of those states with awful cannabis legislation, so I remembered something about Pennsylvania not being on par with its neighboring states.

          It’s not, we’re surrounded by states where recreational use is legal. Millions of dollars are heing spent just across the border, and the medical card program is a joke.

          I was just surprised to learn people are still being arrested and prosecuted.

            I’d bet it’s billions actually. One dispensary on the border of Washington and Idaho raked in $200,000 revenue in a single day.

            I think those sorts of arrests and prosecutions are more than likely police attacking individuals when there’s nothing else to charge them for.

      Also deer are absolutely capable of cracking that girl’s skull, don’t fuck with deer.

      Right?

      Also, not that I’d ever pick MAGA over…well…just about any alternative…but two big ones against the Dems in PA are how tax happy they’ve been over the past 20-25 years, as well as privatization of liquor sales.

      Again, in these days of MAGA, I’ve been pretty much voting straight ticket, but my god to I want to strangle every politician who feeds us the, “Well actually you get better selection, prices, and availability with this system!” as if nobody ever goes to other states.
