2. Well done

3. It’s what they do to pay for the drugs that makes them a criminal. So…most of them.

4. She cool.

5. Does she have a seat in the senate from the university? Did I read that right?

6. If only all politicians were as real and passionate as her.

7. It’s so reassuring to see someone talking sense in this country for once. Our politicians don’t even try to hide their bias and will keep doubling down on prohibition even when the evidence shows its a monumental failure. Facts are facts when it suits them but everything that goes against their narrative is an opinion. I don’t have words to describe how much contempt I have for the scumbags we have in charge of this country.

8. Drug dealers who sell drugs for those who are addicted to them are criminals. Selling drugs to someone who does not need them just to get them hooked is murder. Is it so difficult to track an addict who WILL go to buy again? Don’t take us for fools.
