Fuck the local PD. Way too many of our taxes go to outfitting them like they're going to goddamn war and for them to bring 5 squad cars when they pull over people for traffic stops.

And no, this isn't Newark or some shit. It's near Chatham/Madison. Where the worst crimes imaginable are teens loitering outside CVS or someone planting a tree the HOA doesn't like

Who exactly do you think is prescribing weed? Some surfer dude in a lab coat?

You're arguing over a made up boogeyman. Actual doctors get you a medical Marijuana card, and even if they didn't weed isn't dangerous. I know Nancy Reagan convinced you it's the Devil's lettuce, but if you actually trust experts you'd realize you're being contradictory in your beliefs. Your worries about fake cards means jack when teens can just buy it off some random guy at a party every day, it's a moot arguing point.

Weed doesn't give you or people around you lung canger like nicotine. It's not addictive like nicotine, alcohol, opioids or hard drugs. It's not the leading cause of vehicular deaths like alcohol, it's not even near the top of the list. It has benefits for people like my father in law, who is a Desert Storm veteran and has had it prescribed by his doctor for nerve damage and PTSD.

You're just ignorant and trying to justify that ignorance with a made up scenario of quacks prescribing cards, as if this would have any sort of negative effect on society at large even if it was true. Meanwhile, over 30 Americans die every day due to drunk driving accidents, but I'm sure you're not going to get on a soapbox about the dangers of alcohol.

The government is stealing my money every paycheck, not some random guy who got a few thousand bucks in a tax break. Which, if they bought a Tesla, is money they've already paid in taxes from working.

Maybe direct your anger at the politicians and upper class who weasel their way out of paying the amount of taxes they should be paying
