The Republicans might not be sending their best and brightest to statehouses.

NEW: Minnesota Republicans just accidentally legalized edibles statewide. One Republican lawmaker say he didn’t realize what the bill was going to do when he voted for it and is now calling to roll it back— but Democrats aren’t letting him. https://courthousenews.com/minnesota-legalizes-low-dose-pot-edibles-to-the-surprise-of-gop-legislator/

2. Come for the abortions, stay for the high.

3. Some more about it here. Edibles are limited to 5mg THC. Most states allowing such have 10mg THC

limit per gummie or "serving" or whatever, so one might have to consume a couple (or more).

4. I wonder if the "Legalize Weed" (or whatever they call themselves)

will still be running their phony candidates this year?

5. There's 2 of them on the ballot -- Grassroots Legalize Cannabis Party, and Legal Marijuana Now

or they were on the last ballot and I haven't heard anything about either one losing "major party" status

6. Both have been used as Republican fronts

To siphon votes from Democrats.

7. Yes. I'm hoping they will go away now that we have recreational (to some extent) and medical weed

but I fear the opposite could happen -- they get more popular to finish the legalization process so that it goes beyond just half-strength edibles.

8. What they ignore is that the DFL favors legalization

It's the Republicans who have blocked it.
