Thank goodness all those “No to 3” detractors lost out.

Look it’s not perfect but it being quantified into law allows the state to process Rec weed at a great state tax percentage.

Also heavy law based incentives.

Light em up boys

Oh My Gosh you should have heard the water cooler conversations at my work. “ Now everyone is going to smell like pot! They’re all going to drive and cause so many crashes! DUIs will go through the roof. The kids will really lack intelligence! I was at a concert last week and those stoners were already walking around smoking as if it were legal” it’s crazy what they (the opposition) believe. My mind was blown.

They'll probably just use this extra tax to reduce corporate/wealth taxation instead of using it to augment existing social programs.

That is 100% what they will do. So much for the TV ads that said “benefitting the veterans”.

Yeah, I'm so happy Amendment 3 codified Critical Race Theory into our Constitution.

Me too! It’s about time we learn about the systematic oppressions in our society, culture, and government.

Ahh that is my bad. I see stuff like this so much but legitimately that I honestly didn't give it a second thought.

When I first saw a sign saying to "Vote No on 3" I really didn't understand its talking points. I read "No CRT in the Constitution!" and thought they were talking about something like CBD, haha. It was only reading here on this sub on election day did it finally hit me what the sign was talking about. It was so far removed from reality conceptually and off-topic my brain just didn't put it together.

I didn't see any of those but I absolutely do not doubt it here. Hell those people were protesting that Planned Parenthood for a while after it was closed down. I don't honestly have a lot of hope in strangers here lol. Weirdly enough as red as Springfield seems to vote all I've met are left leaning people in this city, so maybe i should start giving people the benefit of the doubt.

I've got a neighbor with crappy politics who puts signs up of the worst-of-the-worst. I take a look at what he's advertising, and basically vote the opposite.

Even after Todd Akin made the "legitimate rape" comment, my neighbor kept the guy's sign up. The real kicker is that he's an ER doc living in a million dollar home. He should know better...but nope. Trashy.

Sarcasm is enjoyable but context is needed haha

Exactly. Even though I often bemoan that’s it’s ever needed, when your statement is indistinguishable from other sincere comments you can find on the same sub you need to make it clear.
