A deal to end the 41-day government shutdown is running into turbulence, thanks to a single Senate objection: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Senate Republican and Democratic leaders say they need to resolve Paul’s objection to a provision in the government funding package before they can accelerate consideration of the bill. The provision would restrict the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based products.
I wouldnt say that it has no meaning anymore. Maybe not for you and many others, but weed still has a bad reputation with a lot of people and Im sure if you ask older folks some will tell you the Mexicans brought the devils lettuce to the US.
Be that as it may, some people (like me) just dont like using words that were invented purely as a tool for racist propaganda. Why are so many of you so invested in making me stop informing people about this? I would not have wanted the person who told me first to just shut up about it because others convinced them its not worth pointing out.
