  • Dude, the '96 Immigration Act went into effect right around the same time his mama was arrested for stealing drugs from her work. We’ve tried this shit already and it doesn’t work.

    But sure, focus on “hurting the right people” instead of actually supporting orphaned kids or those suffering from addiction. I know he’s dog whisting, but come the fuck on. We desperately need to fund public education to counter the indoctrinated fear held by people that still eat this shit up.

    They don’t exist, JD, and if they did they’re sure as fuck aren’t censoring you considering I can read this bullshit.







  • The water characteristics you’re worried about sound like aesthetic problems, which might be displeasing but pose no real health risks. These vary significantly between public water systems. If the system pulls from surface water, the water might need more treatment in the dry season since contaminants concentrate in surface waters more that time of year. I’m lucky to live somewhere that has no noticeable taste/odor/color issues. For places that do, you should be able to drink it from tap without issue, but it might taste/smell better if you run it through a filter or even just let it sit in a pitcher in the fridge.

    If a municipality were to cut corners with their water treatment in a similar way to the asphalt plant you mentioned (which sounds kinda shady btw), people would get sick and potentially die. Most municipalities are very risk averse and take liability seriously to avoid litigation/losing money. So, it’s not impossible, but I think it’d be unlikely for a city to skimp on water treatment just to save a few bucks. Water treatment facilities are also required to constantly test for things like pH, turbidity, and chlorine residual and report to the state, so it’s not as simple as hiding things from an inspector the day of.







  • It’s common for dispensaries to sell an 1/8th for ~$15-25, at least in northern California. Just checked a couple local places and see many options for half ounces around $40.

    I doubt many people care about anonymity here either. It’s all cash transactions, and you just get carded like buying booze - no real registration, except for like rewards points/loyalty programs lol

    Plus, a new law just went into effect here that supposedly protects employees from being asked about/discriminated against for their cannabis use, granted there are exceptions for some construction jobs and jobs requiring federal clearances. (AB 2188, for anyone interested)

    The legal market is saturated in California. I would guess most of the black market is exporting out of state where it can be sold for more. But I could definitely be wrong! I agree that it’s unlikely to disappear until it’s unprofitable.
