This right here is a good example of the type of state action that convinced me to become a libertarian. The state first talked a big game about how weed was legal, then set up a regulatory body that failed to issue licenses at any reasonable rate, choosing a woke equity model

#OTD 1752, Britain went to bed like usual. But when they awoke, it was ‘eleven days later’ on Thursday 14 September. Find out why...👇 The Georgian Lords ow.ly/kgfy50PsNWY
