Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is claiming that if voters approve a marijuana legalization initiative at the ballot this November, people “will be able to bring 20 joints to an elementary school”—and he again complained about the prevalent odor of cannabis that he says would result from the reform. “...
“Alright class, we have 20 joints with an average of 30 puffs each. There are 35 students, one teacher, and 2 teachers aides. How many puffs does everyone get?”
They’re full gram joints. I don’t think Little Timmy needs more than two puffs from one. Puff puf
That all depends on how your body processes THC. For some people I know, two puffs is plenty. For others (Me, for example), two puffs ain't gonna do shit.
People can already bring 20 joints into a school if they want to. Has Ron looked at other states that have legalized it and observed schools bursting at the seems with pot?
prevalent odor of cannabis that he says would result from the reform
Oh no! Another smell to go along with car exhaust and low tide!
The Florida government loves nothing more than a bunch of kids to get gunned down in a school shooting, as it means they can route that more money to police and less money to students.
I’m okay with banning anything to ban guns. Or, at least threatening it.
Maybe someone should try to pass a law with a ban on all contraceptives, abortion pills, and rainbow flags….. with a gun ban tacked onto it. See how much they really care.
I remember the FUD that was spread when Colorado and Washington State legalized. None of it happened. A local TV News crew created an exercise where they would make different levels of cannabis user drive a course while traffic cops would evaluate their abilities to operate a motor vehicle.
Every driver considered themselves to stoned to drive safely even though the cops said they didn't drive like it. The Stoner girl said she was way to high to drive and wouldn't even try in real life but she passed the tests.
And the smell thing.... Pioneer Square in Seattle has a smell to it, if it hasn't rained in a while. Lots of pissing in the alley type behavior. I worked for a hospital that ran a clinic there. Usually the area stinks.
A long comes accessable cannabis for all. IDK if you don't like the smell of pot smoking.
We also have a drinking culture where doing it alone at home is considered taboo. You're supposed to go out to a bar and do it, and then get home somehow.
Cannabis use doesn't have that culture, not even in legalized states.
Idk about that. There weren't cannibas bars because cannibas wasn't legal. But the idea of going over to a friend's house or on a date where you both smoke weed together is hardly new.
Reminds me of the fear mongering a conservative family member was spouting when my state legalized weed. She was going on and on about how car accidents were going to “skyrocket” because everyone would be driving high. We’ve been legalized for about four years now, the first time I heard about any high driving incident was a couple of weeks ago when two people died. Now, obviously the number of high drivers is probably more than that, and any kind of intoxicated driving is irresponsible, but that’s the first time I heard a case make the news, meanwhile NHTSA says an average of 37 people die due to drunk driving per day.
Alcohol is pretty unique as a drug in causing car accidents. Most other drugs will either relax/sedate you enough so you don't want to go out (opiates, ketamine), make you anxious enough so you won't want to drive (cannabis, hallucinogens), or stimulate you enough so that if you do drive you probably won't be that bad (coke, meth). Only alcohol will keep you up enough to socialize, confident enough to drive, and impaired enough to crash. Even if you were to legalize all drugs alcohol would still probably be the largest cause by far for impaired driving accidents.
well you can't stop people from bringing joints by making it illegal; that way only the bad guys would bring joints. instead everyone should bring joints to school because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.
You think weed causes psychotic behavior? I've seen lots of reactions from weed... But psychotic is not a word I would use to describe any of them.... Someone on a bad hallucinogenic trip that they can't handle can definitely enter into a psycho episode though (unfortunately I have seen that).
Yeah I don't think DeSantis realizes that little 9 year old Tommy's wallet just ain't that big. Like...what dealer does he think is just frothing at the mouth to break into the elementary school market? 😭
I mean not too big of a fan of Marijuana since it increases my risk of schizophrenia which im predisposed too but its hard not to find this extremely stupid when cigarettes are still legal their and they are 100x worse along with vapes and alcohol. I mean if you are gonna have some laws be consistent instead of favoring one cause you like it more and poisoning the air
If they're trying to pass legislation with the guise of protecting children 10 out of 10 times its not about protecting children. It's one of the oldest grifts out there.
And participated in a human trafficking scheme that backfired spectacularly when the people he trafficked were greeted with compassion instead of contempt.
Yes,and then the trans drag queens will start raping children with those joints and their BLT BBQ agenda! And the sun will go dark, and the milk in cows' udders will go sour, and then banned books are going to rain from the sky, right Ron?
Hey, elementary school kids need connections for weed just like everybody else, so I'm sure that will happen all the time.
Also, if you give cops "qualified immunity" they might decide to start murdering innocent people for no reason and get away with it. Only that happens to be true.
Seeing as his supporters believe they're destined to spend eternity in flames, unless a man in a robe puts water on their heads, because a rib woman was once convinced by a talking snake to eat magical fruit, I'm thinking no.
Correct, but other laws still prohibit distribution to minors, and smoking near the building. So all it allows is keeping them on your person or with your belongings to eventually be consumed elsewhere. Doing anything with them that could be harmful to children would still be illegal.
That's enough to share with the class! I mean, if you're going to bring it to school, you have to bring enough to share. Those are the rules of schools.
