Reply to comment by EasternMotors in Kansas City prevented hundreds of evictions by providing attorneys. Now the program is growing by cragar79
Horrendously. I own a property in downtown KC. Haven’t gotten a rent payment since April of 2020. I still have to pay the mortgage and insurance on the property. I finally just got them out and in their anger they busted a faucet leading to over $100k in damages.

If the lobbyists get their way, old people's vote won't matter when the politicians change the laws to take their weed away. At that point they can go back to pills and shots or they can get the boot to their necks.
I've watched enough documentaries following weed dispensaries to know that all it takes is one law passed by any of the state, local mayor/city, the county, etc. to shut the whole thing down.
The only thing that will fight the pharma money is the big tobacco companies lobby money when they finally decide they want their share of the market.

Cannabis has more risks than Opioids. Really, the only risk of Medical Opioid use is addiction and That's fine as long as you have a supply. Cannabis causes paranoia, psychosis, anxiety, handicapped mentally.

I'm personally hoping it's at least the size of a goliath birdeater. That would be pretty awesome.

So... you are telling me legality doesn't mean wide support, like population do not have the possibility to change legality by voting parties which do not support bullfighting or actually support banning it.
If people in some places don't give a fuck about bullfighting this same people is actually supporting it, since the very moment their passiveness allow it to keep existing. That's why the regulation changes from communities to communities. Go to Galicia and try to organize such a event, and tell me what happens, for example.

It says the dog is 16. A 9 year old dog is an old dog.

Reply to comment by nyanlol in Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In City Of London by JackarooDeva
It's essentially a local council area. There's also the city of Westminster next door (although that's a bit bigger). Most parts of London are called "London Borough Council." It's basically the area that London used to be under the Romans.

You would think someone owed the man reparations after something like this, the state that wrongfully convicted him should be paying him at least 28 years average household salary.

Weed helped me get off opioids. I broke my arm last year and was on a low dose of Percocet. When I started to ween myself off, I used gummies to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms. Even coming down from 10 mg, I felt like I had the worst flu of my life. Once I started taking gummies, I felt like myself again.

not quite
I take a mild one for migraines. I hate how they make me feel - but the pain goes away. I never have a craving for them if I don't take them.

The single fastest growing demographic for weed use is seniors and something like 80% of those using it for arthritis say it works better than prescription drugs.
They are going to have a tough time convincing thousands of retirees with weed cookie jars to give it up.
Also, alcohol consumption declined when weed is legalized.

…if you were wondering ‘why the new push to block federal legalization and undo state level allowances?’.
