Definitely a Season 3 episode. Also, TOS is cool as hell, I don't understand the hate it's been getting lately from people. Anyway, big surprise that the person you anoint as the next POTUS just nine months after the election gets torn down as poo poo. I mean, did anybody involved really think this through.

loquacius posted:I don't trust the Alabama GOP to suddenly #LegalizeIt because they could get some money for it. These same states turned down Medicare money to try to make healthcare reform look bad. That's fine. States should have the right not to legalize pot if they want. There are many dry counties in the United States to this day, it didn't make the end of alcohol prohibition a failure. Federal funding has gotten states to move in the past though, on things like drinking age for example. I don't personally think Republicans would want to give up funding over this issue. It doesn't hit them to the core like the dread socialism of Obamacare does. They might just on "this pisses off liberals" grounds, but the problems would be much greater if the federal government way overstepped their bounds and tried to force them to legalize. It would go the to Supreme Court, the bill forcing them to would be slapped down, and then they never would for 100 years out of spite. So, if you care about Alabama legalizing, I haven't heard a better plan to get them to.

Al! posted:also they're probably mostly issuing permits and business licenses to whites it's probably also that getting licensed and into a regulated storefront and whatever it requires to become legal is still way too expensive for people who made a living selling it from their homes, so those people (disproportionately of color) are going to keep doing that
