As opposed to all the legalized/decriminalized weed we got under our last Republican governor? The one that went to jail?
Twice.
That one?

Why don’t you focus on the here and now instead of the whataboutism

The guy above literally “whatabout’d” Lamont, not even understanding that this rec weed situation isn’t the purview of the Governor anyway.
Both left and right people are being idiots here… and CT tax rev that could help everyone here is going on a drive right into MA/NY/RI pockets lol

That's not whataboutism.
That's realizing that you made the right choice last election. Republicans want weed illegal and the state budget in flames.
Stop sucking the MAGA pipe and come up with a real governing strategy other than cut it all to the bone.

I mean every politician wanted weed illegal until recebt election cycles. I don't recall Malloy fighting for legalization, because even as recently as a decade ago, it wasn't politically beneficial to anyone

And you’re still on the “MAGA” thing. Stop sucking the left wing extremism’s sack.

The MAGA thing just announced it was running again

And he won’t make it out of the primaries you tool bags can only use him as an excuse for everything for so long before it’s ridiculous

We are never trailblazers. We wait for everyone around us to make it happen and then we come to the party late lol

We’re the land of steady habits for a reason.

I get it, both have their pro/cons. I’d just like a bit more balance between the two. Had CT jumped in front of MA with medicinal and rec we would be setup nice both in terms of cash and establishment.

Mass was first because it's a more liberal state.
Edit: ouch someone doesn't like facts.

Oh you got me there 🤣🤡
MA is definitely a more liberal state but I don’t think that’s what contributed to them trailblazing marijuana in the region

I was there. It did.
In MA when the legislatures got the idea, pretty much every legislator in the majority party was pretty much on board right away. Obviously the war on drugs was a failure and obviously continuing to put people in criminal jeopardy for cannabis was unsustainable and racially discriminatory as applied.
In CT, it took many more years of pressure and campaigning from the left. Senior members of the majority party wanted to study the issue and even came out against it.

Here's another genius that didn't read the bill. Angry about being illiterate.

Yeah, cause Republicans would've definitely legalized weed
