Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA. - eviltoast

And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout “This is a F.A.C.T. jack”! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    There is no state in the country where tobacco isn’t age-restricted, which is what I’m focused on here. It’s incredibly normal and routine for us to restrict certain things behind being a legal adult.

    Making cannabis or tobacco equivalent to zucchini would be a complete sea-change in how we think of minors and their decision-making abilities.

      There’s no reason that I couldn’t check someone’s ID at my hypothetical farmer’s market stand. And the bigger ones around here have dudes that sell like microbrewed meads and shit, so you can’t tell me it’s not already happening.

        There’s no reason that I couldn’t check someone’s ID at my hypothetical farmer’s market stand.

        No reason other than discussing in good faith, which means not moving the goalpost. You set the original hypothetical of cannabis being legally equivalent to squash, not me.

        And the bigger ones around here have dudes that sell like microbrewed meads and shit, so you can’t tell me it’s not already happening.

        Again, you set the original goalpost of discussing legal status.

          My original comment was mostly an unhinged rant lamenting the current state of legalization more than an actual policy proposal, but I do think I should be able to buy and sell cannabis at the farmer’s market.
