YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT!!!!! FEDERAL OFFENSE!!!!!!!

[Reginald Ret]

Shouldn't the main objection be that writing about an action is fundamentally different than acting?

Otherwise, if I posted, "I'm gonna go drink seven martinis and then drive home!" I'd be arrested for DUI, regardless if I actually did.

Very good point that everyone overlooked!

Cue RWHN arguing that talking about drugs is badwrong mkay?

Not just that.

There's also "I'm gonna say what I want, fuck you, OR KILL ME."

Thats fine but he should stick to the facts and not claim someone can get arrested for planning a wedding abroad when it is the planning a pot purchase that would h ave got them arrested under this bill, not th e actual wedding plans.


It's the typical hyperbole abd conflation that comes from these anti-Fed, Drug.  policy. types.  They. do their movement a disservice with this nonsense.

I think his point, RWHN, would be that anyone involved with planning the wedding (and not just the point-buy of cannabis) could be charged as "Conspirators".

That's a huge stretch and assumes that buying a wedding couple some pot as a gift is more significant and central to the overall wedding plans than buying them a toaster or a cheese grater.

I have enough toasters and cheese graters, so I'm not sure it's a huge stretch.

...would allow the US government to knowingly tell lies to its people in order to promote the government's own policies.

...it prevents information activities designed to prop up unpopular policies—like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

at least they're trying to not lie about lying anymore

They will, however, have to make some advisory panel or oversight committee to determine which lies are legal and which lies are illegal

"Under this bill, if a young couple plans a wedding in Amsterdam, and as part of the wedding, they plan to buy the bridal party some marijuana, they would be subject to prosecution," said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for reforming the country's drug laws. "The strange thing is that the purchase of and smoking the marijuana while you're there wouldn't be illegal. But this law would make planning the wedding from the U.S. a federal crime."

This quote I found rather funny.  Bill Piper is a dumb-fuck who obviously thinks his followers are dumbfucks.  No, Mr. Dumbass, it wouldn't be the planning of a wedding that would be illegal, it would be the planning of buying the fucking pot that would be illegal.  You can plan weddings all you want asshat. 


I mean, if a wedding really, really hinged on whether or not you smoke pot, I mean, that's, IMO, a little sad.

Champagne consumption certainly seems to be a crucial element of a wedding for many people.
