Keep them inebriated and clueless. That's the plan

Come on America this should have happened 50 years ago. We're no better, it should be legal full stop. Better the man/woman with a pipe in their mouth than a can in their hand.

Access is pretty easy already. See them kids on the corner, saying hello to every car that passes?

Isnt weed legal there? 🤷‍♂️

What an important decision! This is more important than jobs, debts, violence, gun culture, stupid deciding on abortions, non interference in foreign countries etc. Isn't it? Now all problems will get solved since marijuana will be easily accessible. Thank you God

DC is run very well as a city. Other cities should take note. 👏🏼☮️🌈✊🏼
