Feds can out muscle the states when it comes to regulation of schedule I controlled substances. We can definitely agree that NYSOCM is an unmitigated disaster, especially for the small business trying to make their way through the red tape and burecratic nightmare.

The cannabis laws are, and have always been silly to say the least. As far as migrant labor goes you're 100% correct, both parties have been talking out both sides of their faces for decades. Neither have clean hands.

Technically, yes it's illegal. Weed is still a schedule I drug and illegal at the federal level, as is it's cultivation. The feds haven't bothered enforcing for the most part, but if the DEA felt like it, they could shut down every grow operation from Anchorage to Bangor.

He wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.

"a set of beliefs impervious to rational discussion" Nailed it.

Overheard conversations vs. Official statement? Hmmm.... Let's see if the CPD comes out and denies it. For now, it looks like paranoia/blatant lying.

I'm sure they're perfectly reliable witnesses that don't have any axe to grind with ICE.

If you read the article you'd see the explanation as well as the museum administrator admitting that the local police frequently used the lot.

"FALSE. The Department of Homeland Security DID NOT target the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture. On July 8, HSI Chicago's Financial Crimes Task Force (FCTF) staged and held a quick briefing in the Museum's parking lot in advance of an enforcement action related to a narcotics investigation." https://abc7chicago.com/amp/post/ice-chicago-puerto-rican-museum-staff-says-homeland-security-surveyed-area-ahead-barrio-arts-fest-humboldt-park/17036923/ So, maybe not? Sounds like people are looking for the boogeyman.

I'm seeing lots of posts on social media from multiple sources describing what a miserable guy he's been at his various events, appearances, summer camps for kids, etc. Anyone else have a similar experience? Here are a few samples that came up in my feed: My son attended his camp in Albany on Monday. He showed up late and appeared completely miserable. My kid come off the field and said cook was acting like he didnt even want to be there. Everyone has bad days and things happen but to act like that at a camp for kids who look up to you A reply to the above said; We attended one the next day in Buffalo same kind of thing. Acting like he just woke up barely any interaction with the kids. My son said he was rude. He told kids to “stop asking questions” and “just look at the camera and take the picture” not impressed what so ever..I’ve heard nothing but awful things by many it’s unfortunate And another: We didn’t sign up this year because last years it was a one and done type thing. He was late and miserable there too… didn’t sign anything else for anyone unless you paid extra for the on field access…

Racists, racists everywhere, and all the minds did shrink.

That article is just a bunch of hand wringing over not reading Miranda rights to terrorists who may have knowledge of an immediate threat to public safety. That this guy felt it warrants serious discussion as some potential slippery slope attack on our rights just shows what a ***** ***** he really is

I didn't happen this one time so it can't be true.

After reading that article, I'm struggling to understand what the complexity is?

Of all the things to dislike about this #######, checking African while being born in Africa fails to generate any outrage for me.
