[DEFEATED] Supporting Marijuana Smokers

Postby Arobe » Sat Dec 07, 2024 10:44 am

Loving the ganja,

Wanting to smoke up wherever possible,


Supporting everyone chill enough to wanna bun,

Makes a law that:

- you can smoke weed at home whenever you want (as long as kids aren't inhaling second hand smoke)

- you can vape bud in public

- restaurants are allowed to sell edibles, including brownies and gummy bears

- no expelling teenagers or students for bunning up

- Everyone gets a day off work on 4/20

- 0.5% of the WA budget is put towards commemorating World Bun Up Day on 4/20

- free cbd gummies, tinctures and bud for people with insomnia and cancer paid for by the wa

endorse the ganja

Terrance McKenna is a real world reference and so is 'rasta', since that refers to rastafarianism, a religion specific to the real world. That makes this draft illegal. Unfortunately, so is 4/20, since that's specific reference to the american calendar system.

Are you sure 4/20 is a real world reference violation? It's generic (it would have to be assumed to have some extratextual connection to the US implementation of the Gregorian calendar and extratextual readings generally do not provide a legitimate basis for rules violation arguments), and, per the rule as currently written, proper nouns are the only potential illegal real world references, which doesn't apply to 4/20.

Good point. We're likely to overturn that ruling soon regardless so

1: Sure, smoke at home.

2: No, it should be taxed it's still a drug and isn't candy.

3: No, THIS DRUGS. THIS IS DRUG DEALING.

4: No, 4/20 isn't a holiday. Omg some college kids smoked weed big deal.

5: No, the WA shouldn't have to give anything.

6: CBD gummies for people with insomnia and cancer... Like sure for medical purposes is there a limit? Plus it's not my fault you can't sleep, deal with it. I ain't paying. Cancer sure why not because that is a real problem.

I heavily reject this.

According to the Elyreian calendar, 4/20 for us is 4/17 for most other nations, as we use a 13 month calendar. I presume this shouldn't be an issue, just that our day will be 3 days before everyone else.

Against.
Legalizing the consumption method most harmful to third parties(smoking) is an insane idea. Smoking harms everyone around that person due to second - and third hand smoke.
Smoking in your own home may well be very dangerous for other inhabitants(especially children) and to anyone subjected to third hand smoke
