Maybe he was right, his staunch supporters will never waver in support no matter what.

This pisses me right the f off. They want to make normal people criminals while the truth is they're the real criminals.

Under federal law, it is technically illegal for a medical marijuana cardholder to possess firearms, even if they already owned them before getting the card. However, the federal government has historically not focused on prosecuting individuals for possession based solely on their medical card status unless other crimes are involved.

Because he's a hypocritical pos?

So surely you oppose big alcohol, tobacco and pharma too, yes? I mean, maybe compare the damages from each.

They were arresting people alone on the beaches in Hawaii. The fact that there wasn't a massive pushback from the people was more disgusting than the authoritarians themselves.
I was literally the only one in Costco maskless several times getting the stink eye by effing morons as though I was a criminal. Every time I claimed a generic "medical reasons" at the door. They hated me, but f 'em, I was always right.

Government operating and cooperating in cahoots with the private sector...hmmmm.

Mass surveillance turning free citizens into subjects. Fits better with the Chinese or N. Korean models than a free country, doesn't it?
Also sounds a lot like prisons with more freedom of movement, for now.

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." This reflects the idea that surveillance can transform free citizens into subjects by eroding their privacy and freedoms."

The individual who initially sponsored or was the primary champion of the specific provision in the agriculture bill that frustrated Senator Rand Paul was Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who successfully pushed to federally legalize hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill but was, in this more recent instance, pushing along with Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) for language to crack down on the burgeoning hemp industry by redefining the statutory definition of hemp to restrict certain hemp-derived cannabinoid products. The specific interim spending bill itself likely had multiple sponsors or was a measure put forward by Senate leadership, but the key individual behind the contentious hemp provision was McConnell.
