2. A pound is a lot.

Possession is usually an ounce or less. Except in the Bible Belt of course.

7. If he'd gone to school in my state he coulda walked to the store and bought it.

There's three pot stores within walking distance of my house. Plenty more elsewhere. Society here hasn't collapsed, indeed you'd hardly notice that pot was legal. Hardly a big deal.

Red AmeriKKKa sure is a shithole country. Seems it's because Jesus, or at least all of the assholes who pretend to speak for the nailed bastard demigod.

9. I never heard of him, and my first thought was..

he must be Black.

Guess what, he is.

[maxsolomon]

11. Because he's a Division 1 NCAA Basketball player?

Or because his last name is Holloway, which is commonly an African-America surname?

10. Here in Maryland.......

he would had been welcome with open arms by many asking to fill their pipes, rolling papers. along with a few buds to add to their brownie or cookie mix.

Alabama must be still living in the pre-civil rights era...........obviously.

12. People still get busted for pot?

Where I live the local dispensary gives out 10% off coupons for the pizza place when you purchase certain product.

13. I get 20% off as a Veteran's discount at the local dispensaries.

I can afford extra toppings.
