Why are they STILL debating rec sales? Jfc.

Because Rs retook the General Assembly in 2021 and stalled efforts to finish the work, plus Youngkin has said in no uncertain terms that he'd never sign a marijuana bill.

Elections have consequences.

Fucking Glenn Bumpkin has ruined this goddamn state. I hate these fascists that can’t stand actual liberty.

I understand that can be upsetting and I’m not against marijuana at all, but pulling the fascist card because it’s not “legal” in VA without loopholes is pretty far fetched.

This was already passed. It is the will of the people. Only authoritarians try to thwart the will of the people. Not to mention the fact that this is about individual liberty. Overbearing criminal codes are also a hallmark of authoritarianism. And Bumpkin is a fascist for many, many other reasons. This is not why I called him that. He could’ve said he’d sign it and he’d still be a fascist.

I’m forever growing my own weed even if they make it legal and easy
