If it didnât meaningfully contribute to the horrors of organized crime in Mexico and South America, and less so the US and Canada, it would be funny thinking about how America canât wrap its head around the concept of prohibition creating a market with inflated pricing and no tax revenue.
Now they want to get all that illegal money for themselves through tax, but the prices are plummeting because the artificial demand is entirely their doing.
Oh fer fuck sake! As they say around here.
Older article from last year but needs to be repeated with the growing hysteria being stoked by the control freak elites.
Iâve stood at the edge of the 640 acre hemp field down the road from us with the breeze blowing across it into my face and it doesnât smell much at all. Not like the same field planted with cannabis plants would smell like in full flower Iâm sure.
Sounds like either the mods are biased and have eliminated everyone who disagrees publicly⌠or like they have the one, singular politics forum in the world where people only discuss facts and numbers, without bringing interpretations or ideas about solutions into it. Otherwise itâs impossible, by definition, to have a political discussion without disagreement. Maybe the people there are just remarkably well-behaved, in a complete 180° from how they behaved in the past, so theyâre all disagreeing very politely with each other all day? Iâm gonna go with @shag though - if it looks better, itâs because of more effective censorship.
youâre gonna be surprised to learn that some small percentage of people on this planet own/control everything. soros is one of them. i forgot how many there were but not a lot.
Meh, a private equity fund funding acquisitions? Shocking!!!
Donât trust the Washington Examiner on the topic of George Soros. That said, the actual story is that Scooter Braun, the manager Swift has a major beef with over buying her catalog, had funding in part through the Carlysle Group, âthe Soros familyâ, and other private equity funds. Does that mean something nefarious? Likely no, itâs not even clear to me that the family would have had a direct hand in the deal to fund Braunâs acquisitions.
All this Soros talk is getting mighty close to politics.
Riu has search engine optimization, which is why its so popular. Most first timers asking questions on google are going to end up on RIU. The wave of legalization has brought in a ton of new users, which in combination with select users getting banned, has allowed the culture to change.
More recently, theyâre big on advocating threads to stay on topic. Sometimes itâs out of the blue and very strange by RIU standards, other times it keeps things from going back to how they were, and itâs usually for the better.
The politics section is fucking cancer, but they allow people to speak their mind if theyâre not being assholes, unless itâs shitting on Trump or Russia, and to be fair it would cause more problems if they had truely equal moderation, but reguardless, I admire their efforts. I tell every new user I can to just stay out of there for their own sanity.
I love RIU and OG.
lol constrict competitionâŚthat always works out well
Uncle Buck got the boot well over a year ago and so does anyone that doesnât follow their updated TOS. Most of the guys that got booted in the last year were anti tRump types that resorted to abusive behaviour when dealing with maga types.
Not at all. Itâs the members posting good info to show the trolls who never have anything other than Fox, RebelNews etc for sources if they have any at all. As long as the trollish donât get abusive they can argue their points as often as they want and not get banned but tend to wander away. Many only joined to stir up shit and when the trolls donât get fed what they want they donât hang around any forums and just never post again.
The fact that you and @Cormoran can claim censorship without actually knowing anything about it shows a total bias I thought a good OG member was above perpetrating.
I find that hard to believe. About a year after I joined up there I ripped Uncle Buck a new one in somebodyâs grow thread that he was being an asshole in and told him to keep his crap in politics. And he did. If he was the owner I for sure would have been banned the next time I tried to log in.
They run a much tighter ship there these days. They even allow seed trades and sales of them and other stuff in a new Classified forum.
Iâve sent a few peeps over here too.
some people tend to label anything that stops someone from saying something censorship. happens a lot in political discussions since itâs one of the talking points of the maga movement. lol. those last two words together caused a very funny picture, but i digress. just like some people call anything they donât agree with âfake newsâ.
itâs also no secret why democrats tend to get more emotional and confrontational in internet discussions. the other side is gregarious in their claims and have the kind of lock step party agreement you can only get with those kind of people while they have to make do with a party that, while occupying the moral high ground in a lot of disagreements, is apparently hell bent on self sabotage and rife with internal division. that kind of frustration tends to get folks on edge and keep them there.
I donât think they realized the number of people that grow in northern New England when they made some of these laws. Everyone knows multiple people who grow.
Thereâs not much room for competition if the distributors/dispensaries arenât buying. Vermont has an extremely small market, at a certain point the stateâs just taking peopleâs money (people who have very little chance of success).
Hey but the cannabis control board or whatever they are has a cool Instagram.!
Oh, for sure, lots of people recognized that from the get-go. In my area tons of people grow. My wife and I have long said itâs like zucchini, pretty quickly you get to the point where you canât even give it away (Iâve run into that problem with both zucchini and flower, âno thanks, my other friend dropped some off last weekâ).
