@skolli@mastodon.social Fuck. I need to get /something/ while I can. But I expect there's now a run on every dispensary in my state.
Dammit.
@emanate @skolli@mastodon.social Don't panic! The general consensus I'm seeing in discussions is that this is (a) likely to get vehemently opposed even by Republicans (b) nothing local law enforcement is obliged to lift a finger for (c) categorically NOT obliging anyone to make a crackdown. It's more of a strategic maneuver than an actual strike, though it might disrupt markets financially a bit. There's WAY too much support behind legal weed right now. Colorado's apparently ready for war...
@zebratron2084 @skolli@mastodon.social
Yeah, I saw some more chat around this and looked up some articles, and am much less worried at this point.
Especially considering right now it's only /talk/ from the AG about this, not even action yet.
@emanate @skolli@mastodon.social I realize it's not the greatest journalistic source, but this article might prove reassuring, too: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/01/04/justice-department-crack-down-legal-marijuana-roll-back-obama-policy/1003183001/
I'm just thinking it's probably a bad day to go stock up on pot at dispensaries, because everyone's probably already trying to do the same.
@emanate Not really! It was basically business-as-usual at the Joint in the U District. They're keeping an eye on the news but they're not especially worried. I was the only one in the shop and they had plenty of supply!
