They're not so much worried about adulteration as they are about pesticides. Pesticides, heavy metals, and some spore can be really dangerous in cannabis not only cause you inhale it, but because extraction and concentration into oils (for everything from edibles to vape pens) also concentrates any of the bad stuff that was sprayed onto a plant or worked it's way up from the growing medium.

As far as THC%, the results of your high are going to rely on the other chemicals almost as much as the thc. No one is doing the genetic testing to separate cultivars, so the provenance of a plant is a guess. Good, well grown/cured weed will have a ton of different cannibanoids and terpenes that make up the chemotype. It will have the consistency of kinetic sand, not like dried oregano, immediately after you grind it. If you are used to the taste, you should pick up the different flavors of the terpenes.

If your weed doesn't taste or look like that, you're likely buying bulk lows or mids. Plants that were poorly grown, or had spider mites or thrips, still need to get sold. You'll either get it in shitty distillate or bulk weed that tastes like nothing and doesn't have any unique or interesting characteristics. They mixed the strains from a dozen grow houses, most is white labeled.

If you aren't growing it or have access to gray market for bulk, the retail shop highs or exotics (the really good stuff) are priced waaaaaaayyyy too high to justify buying it, imo.

I know this is the argument people think is the most compelling. But in reality, this is not hitting with the electorate. Calling him weird was much more effective. Even post Jan 6th!

Trump bad, Trump fascist, for some reason that's preaching to the choir; the urgency is already felt with the people who are gonna feel it. The campaign could realize this, and could pivot and focus entirely on abortion and economy, because they won't touch the war. But Kamala is currently stumping with Republicans on a "Trump Bad" ticket. Fuck the Cheneys.

Basically Trump = fascist, even if true, is ineffective, and is losing the election as Trump picks up immigration votes from minorities and protest votes from Muslims.

Kid is gonna read that article. Maybe now, maybe one day. Imagine reading an article about how your mom wishes desperately with all her heart that she didn't have you.

She loves you despite what you are, not because of it. Fuck me.

There were like 2.3 million people living in Gaza and at best guess 42k have been killed. That's a best guess and most estimates say at least.

Initially, Germany had around 500k Jewish people. Around 300k of those people were able to flee, although many not far enough. Of the remaining 200k, about 25% were killed in concentration camps or through some other horror.

As the Nazis gathered more territory, they began the systematic, machine-like murder of European Jews. As a direct example, Poland had over 3 million Jewish people, 90% of them were killed in the Holocaust in concentration camps.

I don't think we really need to compare genocides to say this is a genocide, especially not to the Holocaust.

Naw fam, you tilted. Frfr.

Yeah, that's a fair point, honestly.

I feel you, it's for sure gray.

I get what you're saying, but my point is it's not really accepted. It's actually an incredibly controversial process that has recently been updated in the US to include not targeting civilians specifically.

Totally respect it's not your idea, I'm just pointing out that I think it's much more complicated when you involve civilian collateral damage, which is actually terrorism in a mask with an overcoat.

People are pretty universal in their condemnation of American attacks that kill civilians, that's why we see the names of those people less, Trump made that change. Biden rolled back those changes finally, but you're not gonna believe some of the new rules, stuff like stop fucking drone striking civilians you sociopaths: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/biden-drone-strikes.html

So yeah, America is both complicit in and has been (maybe still is) a sponsor of terror in many situations. And if one of those people affected by America in that way were to somehow get a bunch of cell phone bombs on GI's hips while they were out with their families, to those people it might be justified while I would still call it terrorism.

You know, I bet they have a problem with both! Shooting a rocket at a market is comparable to putting explosives on a possible combatant and detonating it while they are in a market. Let alone 3,000x that latter scenario.

Like I don't care for terroristic acts on civilians no matter where they come from. I'm unironically ok with them mass targeting the rocket sites, though!

I think you're right, but you're just doing it by classifying popular YouTubers as not celebrities.

I would argue that fame from social media alone (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc) is still fame and enough to make a person a celebrity. It's the same picture.

Just like a person can be made bitter and angry by the clouds over head as they shake their fist at them and yell.

I was being facetious, I was at best neutral before horse gate.

Yeah, that's his remaining audience in a nutshell. It's legit creepy.

No, when he exposed his loli horse porn to the world I lost the respect I never actually had for him in the first place i guess.

It's one thing to be so stupid you don't have a different personal computer to do your weird jerk off shit. It's another to then expose your creepy jerk off shit to your audience. It's yet another third thing that your audience is willing to just ignore it and keep watching. Gross!

Pretty sure the only sentient being that would need to be worried around Vaush would be a little girl he wants to take on a stable tour.

Really? The advice I've seen for years at a traffic stop is to only roll down your window enough to talk to the officer and hand over paperwork and to close it immediately after. Along with not voluntarily providing any extra information and only answering questions as asked.

That's for your safety, not theirs. You can argue the full tints, but the vehicle was surrounded by officers and many of them were aware this person was playing football that day.

In context this is one of stupidest escalations I've seen since ever and I can't believe none of these other cops stopped it from happening. Give this a little more time and the rest of the guys are gonna get lit up along with the dude who's on administrative leave.

Like in order to make this shit look ok, you have to full on compare the reaction to someone who was engaged in a crash or hit and run, has a warrant, or is a sovcit. They could run this dudes plates in 7 seconds and understand this dude wasnt a threat, they probably should have escorted him the rest of the way after they gave him his citation! This was a physical response to disrespect, ridiculousintimidation and you shouldn't be ok with it.

Sov Cits don't have documentation and refuse to comply with lawful orders. This gentleman gave the police his documentation and they got mad he wasn't bending over and spreading his asshole.

It's funny cause this situation is so crazy with how the cops escalated this situation when it wasn't warranted, you actually have to compare them to someone doing an actual crime!

Like that's how crazy this debate even is. Rich dude in super car being an asshole vs a person who is willfully driving with fake paperwork hoping a cop pulls them over.

Hill just looked like a rich asshole in a hurry and I can't imagine anyone advocating that the police action was OK.

I really can't imagine thinking that no matter how disrespectful someone was during a traffic violation, that escalating to pulling someone out of the car and putting them in handcuffs is ok.

Office was never in any danger, he was actually surrounded by other officers. You should be able to disrespect an officer and that should not escalate being physically handled like that.

The expectation for a criminal in a criminal act is to have as much force as needed applied to them to get them to comply. The expectation of an asshole at a traffic stop should be to get his big ticket and keep moving.

If you don't want to be called a boot licker, stop licking boots!

I dunno, I'm way less terrified of the guy with a 40k watch in a 150k car than I would be in any other situation. Unless I was super jealous that this black dude was rich, and he didn't show immediate respect to me. Then I might pull him out of his car despite having everything I need to write the citation and being in 0 danger literally surrounded by other officers.
