    No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.

    I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)

    Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…

    MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!

      Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.

      They made a shit show out of the licencing. First they sold permits, but then decided they were going to favor minorities in the licencing process. Royalty pissing off people who had already paid the huge fee. The new scheme got struck down in the courts. Now nobody knows what’s happening with it. Except the tribes, who are the only people able to commercially grow at the moment. Total shit show, a Minnesota classic.

      But you can grow your own.

    Anyone still listening to JRE know what he thinks about it? I wonder if he went full hypocrite at this rate or still has some principles.

    it’s not about the weed, it’s about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

      Ding

      Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding

      It’s definitely about the brown people, but it’s also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800’s. All we need then is some good ol’ slavery to finish it all off

        Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas

        It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia

        Religious piousness is the excuse, it’s the cover story. You don’t really think those mega church pastors believe what they say and then fly around in golden jets do you? It’s about the power they have over people.

        EDIT: after reading you comment more carefully, yes we agree

        yep, that’s why they’re trying to swap the meanings of “education” and “indoctrination”-- accuse schools of “liberal indoctrination” and take over all the boards so they can force their own “education” which is literally the textbook definition of indoctrination

        from the party of “god gave us free will!!!” which is also the party of “you will believe in jesus or else”

      Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police

    Man, when even weed money can’t move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society’s progress.

        Get to know other transplants to Minnesota ahead of time or find a way to meet some once you move. Native Minnesotans are notoriously tough to befriend; many Minnesotans have friend groups that go back to primary school and can be kind of standoffish at first.

        The cities are cool, and like any major metropolitan area, every neighborhood has its own vibe. Duluth is a REALLY cool city, and totally worth a look. But I ended up in this small, off the freeway, city called Northfield. It’s really nice. There are plenty of jobs, lots of services, the rent is okay, and there are two liberal arts colleges here, which means that this tends to be a really progressive area

          Northfield is progressive or the whole area? I would think you go 5 minutes in any direction and that sentiment would change.

              I’m familiar with Northfield but I’m also familiar with Randolph, Elko/New Market, Farmington and those areas don’t scream progressive to me which is why I was curious.

                No, they’re not. They’re all a lot more rural. I don’t think many people consider Northfield because it’s out of the way and off the freeway (and surrounded by nothing), which is one of the reasons I think it is the way it is hahaha

        Come fly into the twin cities and take a look around. There’s tons of different neighborhoods and you can drive to the major other cities in a day. Duluth is great and got a whole different biome from the Twin Cities. You can go to Rochester which is growing fast and has the Mayo Clinic if you need or want to work medical care. I love stillwater since it’s a small town close to the twin cities but not really a suburb. You can’t really go wrong.

        Also to note Minnesota has three different ecological biomes in it. Prairies, coniferous forest and deciduous forests. So you can pick your landscape and see others nearby
