Who fucking cares

I’m opening one in May! I’m Latino and also have a previous record and I’m thankful they are doing this.

It’s not rare. It’s simply overshadowed by the mountain of shit that social media and well… just media in general shove in our faces.

It’s not a conspiracy theory to state that fear is one of, if not the single most effective emotion to create desired behavior in humans. We’ve figured this out and perfected it. Thus, most of us will mainly see things that cause fear and anger, with just enough “eyebleach” material sprinkled in to re-sensitize us to the fearmongering once again.

The world is a stark, bleak place, but it’s also beautiful and filled with wonderful people. It just takes a bit more effort to see them through the fog created by current pop media tech and trends.

Good

It was an unjust law.

Life's not fair, you're not entitled to dibs on opening marijuana dispensaries lmao. Literally no one mad about this would be affected in any way, people affected are free to compete.

Man gets roaring applause after he wins argument he made up. Women were seen crying tears of joy.

It's all about perspective, I've come to find. In the past decade alone, News headlines have become overwhelmingly negative and biased in comparison to what we had before. In reality, things were a lot worse in the past, but we didn't have the internet for most of human history, so up-to-date information was very hard to come by.

Decency is never out of style.

"Hey, sorry about our ancestors enslaving your ancestors hundreds of years ago."

Is everything great now? Was that all it took?

I'm not talking about the human race here, I'm talking about the state of the actual world, which isnt good

I don't subscribe to the overly pessimistic view that "herp derp the human race is going to end soon!" rhetoric. Don't expect me to see things your way. The real way humans will overcome hardships such as climate change will be through the conscious choice to remain stead-fast and stay proactive in reducing (and reversing) whatever damage we've done so far. All you're doing is allowing the bad players (oil companies, authoritarian dictatorships, corrupt evil people in general) to have their way. You're allowing yourself and other innocents to be run over. Have you no shame or responsibility?

With the catch that most former cannabis offenders could not afford to open dispensaries, and many just became figure heads to bring good PR to corporate owned dispensaries.

Such beauty is rare today. Thanks for sharing

Lmao, how many years you think we have left? Here's a tip: high double digits is generous

"And thus, colonialism finally ended."

Hmmm… I’d say “not yet. “ These things (unfortunately) take a lot of time and societal willpower.

Well, it's about time!

Oh, Trenton, NJ. I was thinking Trenton, GA and was stunned. Hope them the most success possible! But yeah, was stunned because Trenton, GA is the type of small southern town that filled a lawsuit against a Pizza Hut for selling beer because it was too close to a church. This place has a church on nearly every main road, corner, and hideaway. Oh, and is like 98% white, so the thumbnail also caused some mental whiplash.

Trenton, GA sucks ass.

I like these people. She got a helper and a friend, he got a job, a purpose, a room, food, a friend, more to come, and hopefully, a lasting change in circumstances.

I still don't get it and I've decided to move on.

I like how every group of buddies you know the group the one group you could always buy weed off of and gf to be all sketchy and the cops harassed the shit out of them . Those are the ones now working with the cops and city hall to sell weed legally .

Haha, no, but I did read lifelong "boyfriends".

I skimmed the article. I didn't see anything about how a bunch of competitors lost out to these guys. Just that they were awarded 2 of the 11 available licenses. I may have missed it, but it seems like you might be filling in the blanks with your own storyline. But even if they had, these guys had a pre-existing business in another state, so they were already proven out, so to speak, and therefore probably a solid choice on the part of AZ.

Totally. Magic mushrooms got caught up in this too. Psylocybin has such enormous medicinal potential and we lost decades of valuable research time.

How is this uplifting
