• It only makes sense if you yourself are being paid by lobbyists. Just pass a regulation for all intoxicating substances. All of the thc/hhc derivatives tested so far are as harmless as cannabis so this isn’t a safety issue. Newsom et al is simply getting more in kickbacks to ban this than if they regulated it.

      You seriously think anti-weed (or whatever) lobbyists are being paid to comment on Lemmy? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re implying - discrediting the person for who they supposedly are, not for what they’re actually saying.

        I’m 90% sure that when they said “you yourself”, they actually were referring to Newsom, not to the commenter. I can see how the comment could be taken either way though.

          This decision makes sense to me.

          It only makes sense if you yourself are being paid by lobbyists.

          I can’t read it in any other way than as him calling the previous poster a paid lobbyist.
