Riverside, CA, one of the worst "dens of evil and villainy" that ever existed. Never meant one single Riverside native that was a good person overall, not one. Everywhere else around that foul town, yes, but not from there itself. It's nothing but a major freeway intersection to get ELSEWHERE.

Legalize it. If it is legal, it can be regulated. Stop making laws against people who smoke a joint.

[rikkitaylor]

Those poor people getting arrested who just want jobs so sad.

[rosejimenez]

All those beautiful homes being destroyed with marijuana when I have no home because of drug addicts

[TheCommunicationCoach]

I'd burn down what I didn't smoke outright.

[botdos]

Sign we are back at bullmarket: Everyone and their mothers be like *AMZ22B*

[napalmsf]

Everyone claims to be a victim but the reality is that people look for ways to make quick cash knowing that it's shady business. We all know that.

[AndyX]

Our society is so messed up and we blame it to rain 🌧️

[fatbart]

They volunteered for those jobs. They knew what they were getting into. It’s only when they got caught their stories changed. Now they’re “trafficked” and the victimsz BS!

[drumtwoseven]

I thought you could grow 🪴 up to six marijuana plants on your own property legally in Ca... still wouldn't do it either way tbh

Was under that impression always wondered why people just don't grow their own for free versus buying it

[axelradiin]

Rumors were that *Amazon would launch AMZ this month* and judging from this it's pretty accurate haha

[stunnaz]

[rikkitaylor]

This almost happened to me once, I felt something was off and I never looked for another trim job ever again. In my case I was selling art and the guy was story's I was told about him where a lil odd so I didn't trust em.

Medical and recreational marijuana will keep the price up so we never build anything out of it or use it for fuel . Construction waste could have been medicine like it was long ago. Marijuana is earths greatest radiator or it wouldn't show up on infrared so we grow it in warehouses requiring major electricity .

[axelradiin]

With a year like this you might skip everything except for the fact that *Amazon made AMZ22B*

[rosejimenez]

Drugs are the bad habits for some people my fake family are drug addicts. My fake family pretended to be my family people should be in jail especially those who go to school to learn to steal and corruput lives such as Judges, Lawyers, police officers that studied the

[Zelp]

Human trafficking labor? Bahahahaha. Who cares?

As long as I get my weed, I'm good.

[quangtran]

Let's discuss the *AMZ22B* guys. This is failproof and barely any asset can be labelled "failproof" at all.

[thaole]

This year sucked and it will become worse Amazon is putting the end to it thanks to their *AMZ22B*
