People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Ban THC but allow alcohol, tobacco, and guns?
BHA-HA-HA-HA!
THC can let people have introspection of themselves and the world around them.
Alcohol is a downer than dumbs you down. And a lot of it can weigh you down for if you need to fight against something.
Tobacco is an upper that you can do with other tasks, and is addictive. Tobacco is heavy in use in red states and the military.
Guns can be aimed at anyone for any reason no matter the justification.
So if you're a government wanting to keep the working class poor, dumb, distracted, and needing to work for their fixes along with rent, food, anything medical, why give them acess to something that could break this?
Maybe I'm thinking too much on this.
