CHYNA CHYNA CHYNA

Lol his name is Ted Budd

The idea of China of all places exporting weed to the US is just bizarre, I've seen people on RedNote saying that weed is a hard drug that will literally kill you.

I've seen people on RedNote saying that weed is a hard drug that will literally kill you.

That must be why they're exporting it to our freedom loving country. To kill us all!

Given the Opium Wars, it's pure projection

Meanwhile in Australia, the therapeutic goods administration has NEVER tested a medical cannabis product EVER. Private testing of the products sometimes turns up carcinogenic pesticides, a company importing trash weed from Israel had to pull a bunch of shit product because we were being sold ancient scraps at premium prices, locally grown "medical" growers aren't effectively restricted in the pesticides THEY use.

ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC FUCK.

Presinald Xi my lungs cry out for liberation!

Edit: it's gotta be the worst karma to smoke weed grown in and named after a settlement in occupied territories.

I just want legal weed, man. I'm a recovering addict so I don't wanna be in touch with actual dealers, I don't wanna try and convince a doc I need a script, I just wish I could have a little bit of weed every now and then.

Preach it.

It's pathetic that we can finally acknowledge that weed is in general harmless and even beneficial but it's still gatekept and like some special privilege to get.

Shit grows so easily here too. its a joke.

If your weed doesn't come from a guy who is covered in tattoos and has a pet snake, you shouldn't trust it.

Support for marijuana legalization is at 70%, by the way. Not like these fucks care but it's very funny watching them still try the reefer madness line when legalization has had majority popular support for over a decade now.

Biking down the street, smokin' indo(china), sippin' on baijiu and juice

LAID BACK

with mind on production and production on my mind

Chiefing on that CPC pack that I got from the PLA surplus dispensary

"Endangers the health and safety of Americans"? I wonder what this North Carolina senator has to say about tobacco.

Now why would a fine young poster like yourself bring harmless healthy tobaccah into this conversashun.

how exactly do drug traffickers benefit from the government coming in and undercutting their entire source of demand?

I smoked marijuana and instantly became 5% Chinese. It's scary stuff.

Oh no I must be like 20,000% Chinese now

I’m like a billion percent Chinese and I can’t even speak Mandarin

keep going, it gets better

Wo bu dong :(

So I need what, 20 blunts?

Thanks for this tip comrade, but the year's about to end and I haven't hit my quota. Are there any other ways to eek out a few percent? I think the zoomers want to bring back Cultural Revolution style struggle sessions, I'm nervous.

Every time you post on Hexbear you become a little more Chinese. Not much, just a little. I'm maybe 7.6% with the Hexbear bump. That adds up.

Thanks again

Thanks again

wait... Senator "Budd" is against weed? talk about a missed opportunity.

Nominative determinism in shambles

Grass traitor

only thing I've heard of is hemp farmers shipping bulk extracted "crude" CBD oil to China to be processed into various other cannabinoids. mostly because the U.S. doesn't even have the capacity to do so at scale. and when some cannabinoid companies were discovered doing this they got in legal trouble (of course redditors smugling declaring it "Temu thc-a" or whatever).

so yeah thank you China for a brief period where pure thc-a crystals, cbd isolate, and other noids were as cheap as culinary spices. only downside is all the shitty one use vapes that resulted from that

Party of small government making sure people can't grow plants

Its cool for Musk to fuck Social Security while balls deep in a k hole but this is too much? Dudes probabky got ties to an opiod company

It's been a while since I've done a deep dive, but iirc most of the anti-legalization assholes are heavy in the pocket of private prisons and alcohol companies.

when you can grow a plant in your back yard that is as effective or more than many modern pharmaceuticals the capitalists wont be very happy about it

oh it also grows like a weed

And yet somehow I killed 4 seedlings.

also they don't have the avenues for legal pot revenue like oligarchs in legal states do. california for example can get money from private prisons, alcohol AND pot. but that ship has sailed in red states, they are probably never getting legalization just like we're never getting legalization at the federal level.

Virginia would have legalized it like four fucking years ago if they didn't have a Republican governor who just was like, nope, VETO'D. with no recourse for the populace of course, god bless democracy

they now have a democrat governor so I wonder what the next excuse will fucking be to prevent me from being able to just go to a fucking store and buy weed

Au contraire, my good comrade. A bunch of pot shops in eastern Oregon formed a PAC and contribute campaign funding to Idaho legislators that are against legalization. So the red states do get some revenue from it!

political corruption is so cool

the free market provides

edit: and yeah, the interests of legal states is to keep border states that are illegal illegal otherwise they lose a chunk of money. what a great system!

wins young male vote

IMMEDIATELY shows their ass not as cool 4chan memelords but as fuddy-duddy puritans.

Bold strategy, Cotton.

Eh, the thing about fuddy duddy puritans is they tend to let middle class white boys get away with some debauchery as long as they don't do any gay shit (or hell, maybe a little gay shit but only for funzies).

I think 4channers will still be able to get weed just fine, puritanism for thee, weed and hentai for me.

True, but boy is it bad for the narrative about the right being just a bunch of fun bros. (Not that dems will ever capitalize off of this.)

ted budd's been in office for at least like 8 years now

Thing I don't like means OUR FOREIGN ENEMIES WIN

Repeat ad infinitum to create state policy

I think if you wanted to destabilize America by promoting drug use among it's citizens there would be better candidates than weed.

Like you know, opioids.

opium wars? bad shit

weed wars sounds like a Discovery TV original

The war would end pretty quick cuz both sides would get hungry and go to Taco Bell.

Since legalization the weed up in Canada has gone nuclear i don't think it's china you have to worry about

THE RED (LEAF) MENACE FROM THE NORTH!

I was doing it before it was legal

I'm doing it now that it's legal

I'm gonna do it when it's illegal again

how much did the alcoholic beverage industry donate to this ghoul last cycle

That guys name is Budd and he hates weed? Hypocrite much?
