This cannot really come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.

    Things my state has added in the past year, which I am so, so happy about.

    1. Made it a crime for librarians and bookstores to provide minors with materials deemed “harmful” to them. (Temporarily blocked by a judge.)
    2. Made Delta marijuana variants illegal
    3. Adding cameras to interstates to catch drivers speeding in work zones.
    4. Forced sign-ins to porn sites.
    5. Rolled back requirements that the state verify the ages of workers under 16 and provide them with work certificates permitting them to work.

    We could have had a governor who has a PhD from MIT, but no. He was blue, and also black. Didn’t matter that he was an ordained minister in the Bible belt either.

      #3 seems out of place. Yes, it could be abused for other purposes, but do we really hate road-workers and want to see them killed?

        It’s a variant that is legal in most states, so long as it has less than .3% of THC.

        There are some valid concerns about them, and they should be regulated more, but that is not why they made them illegal.
