Matt Walsh is one of the most smarmy fucks around. I swear, some people listen to him because he has a nice haircut and smile.
I only wish he was older, like Trump, so we wouldn't expect to have him on the earth for another two decades.
Trying to rewind the USA back to when we were all smoking cigarettes and drinking whisky is insane.
Dumb af, if MAGAts smoke enough weed they’ll forget that trump raped kids.
Ackshtually, if MAGAts smoked enough weed, they'd deeply introspect their preconceived notions. Entheogens are probably highly effective at combating disinformation, just as we know they work well on trauma. Widespread use of them would be catastrophic to the entire Republican agenda.
It's how I found irreligion myself.
I hope they are ready to have their faces torn from their heads when they come for me because I am livid. I have noticed quite a spate of anti-marijuana articles including one yesterday talking about a hidden link between marijuana and schizophrenia which is just nuts.
Matt Walsh talks about whiskey so performatively I don't think he actually likes it.
Also legalize pot to the same degree as alcohol and create a sustained treatment category of schedule 2 while you're at it.
That's what the article says Trump is considering doing
President Trump’s vaguely positive views on marijuana use and legalization have opened up yet another schism within the MAGA movement, as some hard-liners are reverting back to war on drugs–adjacent rhetoric to express their opposition to perhaps the most popular plant in America.
Last Friday it was reported that Trump told donors at an event that he is considering reclassifying marijuana from its current Schedule I level.
Lol. This is probably the only reason people haven't revolted. Take away this, and they'll overthrow you.
Well he just lost his genz voters! Also lots of other generations.

That contradicts the title. Trump is looking at making it more legal, not less.
No contradiction at all:
Today I learned that the DEA doesn't consider weed to have accepted medical use while cocaine does for the same use case (pain relief).
Cocaine is an analgesic. You can rub it on your skin and then cut into the skin without feeling anything. It's pretty objectively useful for medical uses.
There’s surely enough to share, right?
Lol good luck
As the article states, Trump is considering rescheduling marijuana making it easier to sell. It's the right wing influencers who oppose it. The GOP politicians love weed because it makes people apathetic and sit out elections
Yeah sure he is.
That’s OK the illegal kind is still better
Not if you're black or have a disease that needs it and you're in a prison cell
