      It’s weird that they don’t mention that medical marijuana is legal, and getting a card is as easy as making a phone call and giving them your credit card. There’s no reason anyone should be arrested for simple possession alone.

      • Admittedly, it’s not a state I’ve ever lived in. I just happen to also live in one of those states with awful cannabis legislation, so I remembered something about Pennsylvania not being on par with its neighboring states.

          It’s not, we’re surrounded by states where recreational use is legal. Millions of dollars are heing spent just across the border, and the medical card program is a joke.

          I was just surprised to learn people are still being arrested and prosecuted.

          • I’d bet it’s billions actually. One dispensary on the border of Washington and Idaho raked in $200,000 revenue in a single day.

            I think those sorts of arrests and prosecutions are more than likely police attacking individuals when there’s nothing else to charge them for.

        I would prefer my kids smoke weed over drinking and cigars any day.

      That actually would make a 10 times better meme

      Right?

      Also, not that I’d ever pick MAGA over…well…just about any alternative…but two big ones against the Dems in PA are how tax happy they’ve been over the past 20-25 years, as well as privatization of liquor sales.

      Again, in these days of MAGA, I’ve been pretty much voting straight ticket, but my god to I want to strangle every politician who feeds us the, “Well actually you get better selection, prices, and availability with this system!” as if nobody ever goes to other states.

        Perhaps the commenter is referring to Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) who has been a staunch supporter of Israel’s “defense” in Gaza.

          That truly is one of the saddest things I’ve seen recently, and one of the biggest betrayals from people I supported.

          Still, thank fuck Dr. Oz isn’t in office.

      • Not that they’re correct, but Pennsylvania is home to Magnum Research who are the makers of the Desert Eagle. So they definitely have been doing some arms shipments.

          Do they still make Desert Eagles for the military? Every person I’ve ever talked to that’s used one in service says it’s painfully unwieldy and one of the worst guns they’ve ever used

          Edit: also, according to Wikipedia, the Desert Eagle is manufactured in Pillager, MN

          Also according to the same article, only Portugal’s GOE and Poland’s GROM still use them in service

              I’d disagree to an extent. I believe there is a limit to what the Democrats will support while Republicans are trying to bring on the rapture. Especially since that is what daddy- Putin wants so we get distracted from his own genocide on a people that actually need the help.

              But, that’s what happens when the only other option is religious fanatics openly supporting totalitarianism. The Democrats can get away with anything right now because there is no other option.
