I guess I’m not really advocating for new laws, instead a shift in the mentality around the two drugs. Weed has been demonized a lot, but really isn’t that bad. I think public opinion is finally shifting on this. Alcohol has long been a cool thing - beer and sports are inseparable, having a drink after a long day of work is often glamorized in tv and movies… being drunk is fun, but it really shouldn’t be seen as cool.
The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community
It’s not opening anything up to the dems. As a Utahn myself, I’m 99% certain Romney is retiring because he can’t win reelection here, as the majority of the state thinks he’s a RINO. I mean, he replaced Orrin Hatch, who could have won another term if he wanted, despite being in the senate since before microwave popcorn was a thing.
Utah had 1 dem representative and he only won because people came out to vote for medical marijuana. The state house then butchered that law until it was almost unrecognizable disenfranchising everyone who was finally getting involved. The state is run by car dealerships and residential developers. The money won’t let a non-republican take that seat.
Man, this is awesome. Hopefully all involved can find honest work to do now.
