    One more fuck you from the Dark Lord, Mitch McConnell. He’s apparently the one who snuck it in the Senate version, and knew the House would be in too much of a hurry to change it and send it back to the Senate.

    That said, I think he overextended himself this time. There’s too many businesses that rely on the loophole, and too many people who got used to having a legal option for THC.

    Start making a big stink about it. There’s potentially enough leverage here to not only reinstate the loophole, but to simply legalize THC straight up. The biggest issue will be making Mike Johnson fold, but there’s enough Republicans in support that he’ll give in if there’s enough pressure. He’s spineless in a reliable way.

      Rand Paul was taking him on about it. I’ll always watch a Kentucky duel. I know everyone hates Rand Paul on both sides of the aisle, but my opinion is that even if you hate his views, he’s consistent with them. Better than that slimy turtle swamp creature by far.
