7. If he'd gone to school in my state he coulda walked to the store and bought it.

There's three pot stores within walking distance of my house. Plenty more elsewhere. Society here hasn't collapsed, indeed you'd hardly notice that pot was legal. Hardly a big deal.

Red AmeriKKKa sure is a shithole country. Seems it's because Jesus, or at least all of the assholes who pretend to speak for the nailed bastard demigod.
