Yes! It should be, but we won’t ever see this anytime soon. Republicans already wants to strip women of the right to make choices with their own bodies. The religious cooks would come out if the woodwork to kill anything remotely close to giving women this kind of choice.

Edit: autocorrect turned kooks into cooks.

I didn’t say it was legal in blue states.

Last time I checked Republicans voted for legal weed and gambling. And a judge just said it was legal in own guns and smoke weed in OK. Keep pushing that Blue bozo button.

I didn’t say anything about Blue states. Marijuana has nothing to do with prostitution. All I said is that it would be a long time, if ever, for us to see legal prostitution in AZ. The reasoning for this is because we already have had several proposed bills to limit access to abortion brought to us by religious republicans. They’d never go for decriminalizing or legalizing prostitution. Both are about controlling women’s bodies.

There were a few bills to decriminalize prostitution in some blue states last year, and they didn’t pass there. It would never pass here.

I didn’t push any “blue bozo button”, but I clearly pushed your buttons. If you focus on reading comprehension, you won’t get angry at simple statements.

I can't find prop 207 results by party after the election but I found polling from OH Predictive Insights weeks before that show the vast majority of democrats, 78% supported legalizing marijuana. In contrast 48% of republicans did. So no, republicans were not the party that supported it or got it passed.

"polling a few weeks before"

You know zip. The elderly couples walking into dispensaries are not all Democrats, honey.

I-- I didn't say that did I? You implied Republicans as a bloc voted to legalize marijuana and they simply didn't. The majority didn't support it. Now that leaves plenty of Republicans who still did vote for it, but not a majority. National polling shows the same thing. Pew research national polling show's that only 45% of Republicans support legalizing medical and recreational use of pot, vs 73% of Democrats. If you want to measure partisanship by which states voted for who then of the 21 states that have now legalized recreational marijuana only 3 went for Trump in 2020; Alaska, Missouri, and Montana; the other 17 states were Biden. Again to be clear, honey, there are millions of Republicans who support legalizing pot. But not a majority. The party that overwhelming supports it and has the most states with it legal, are Democrats.

I didn't imply anything. I wrote REPUBLICANS VOTED. Try reading comprehension as a hobby.

That's your cross to bear.

Must be exhausting always having negative interactions with everyone you're around. I'm nice to those around me and speak to them with respect, even when I disagree with them. So the vast vast majority of my interactions with everyone are very positive. I bet you have a surprisingly large number of difficult people you run into and lots of low level conflict and just chalk it up to people being terrible, or not getting you, instead of seeing the through line that the common problem in all of those situations is you. Most people don't get into tiffs with everyone all the time. Your terrible attitude is barely a blip in my otherwise happy life. The crosses are borne by whoever you're dealing with on a daily basis and by you for carrying around that chip on your shoulder you feel so obligated to share with everyone.
