What federal land does this mean?
Probably national parks
So those have to be patrolled by federal officers and tried in federal court?
Yeah, had a friend get unlawfully searched (native American sleeping in his car) in the parking lot of a national park in Utah. Got arrested for small amounts of weed and spent time in federal lockup. Luckily his family is very influential in his tribe so they were able to get him released and charges dropped. Happens to many people and POC and natives are much more likely to be targeted or charged for small amounts of cannabis.
The government owns a ton of land used for national parks, grazing, and fish / wildlife conservation. But the biggest benefactors of this will probably be Washington D.C. which has about as many citizens as Alaska.
Not at all saying this isn’t uplifting, but I’m kind of sad by how political and America centric this community seems to be. I’d love to see more universal or individual themed uplifting posts!
Be the change you want to see in the world
It’s just my opinion 🤷 If I see something worth sharing I will!
Yeah I’m still allowed to have an opinion. Why so harsh?
You’re asking other people to do things for you while you do nothing, it seems.
They are referring to Thor, right?
god is thunder
I’m kinda sad you are in this comment section tbh.
That seems rude and unnecessary
Smoking shouldn’t be a federal offense but it should stay illegal
Save your thumbs and refrain from commenting,ever. It will be the best impact you can make.
That’s one of the best comments I’ve ever received thank you

It would be logical to restrict access to alcohol far more severely if you have that concern.
I think we tried that before
The outcome just shows how much worse alcohol is than any other drug.
There are lots of drugs worse than alcohol. Meth, fentanyl, or heroine for example.
Alcohol is worse than marijuana though.
Fun fact: withdrawal from alcohol can and frequently does kill people.
Withdrawal from meth doesn’t kill people and it’s uncommon for people to die from opiate withdrawal.
Alcohol is a horrible drug.
Worse is a subjective term. Alcohol causes more deaths per year (140,000+) than all other drug overdose deaths combined (~103,000). Alcohol also has significant long term health impact for even light users. I think what’s truly the worst is how normalized alcohol use and abuse is in American society.

I don’t think anyone is in favor of relaxing DUI laws.
If it remains a black market good, that precludes a lot of safety and regulation. Humans love drugs. If I was writing a sci-fi setting, drugs would probably be the Human Special Thing. They’re not going away. Focus on harm reduction. And as far as harm from drugs go, marijuana is pretty low on the danger factor.
“I don’t care what you do in your own time… just as long as it’s not easily accessible or legal”
I’d rather we stop giving shitloads of money to violent cartels. The only way to do that is full legalization, including the supply chain.

I rather they restrict alcohol and make marijuana legal.
