Minnesota governor signs bill legalizing recreational marijuana
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed a bill legalizing recreational marijuana on Tuesday, making the North Star State the 23rd in the nation to fully legalize the substance.

“We’ve known for too long that prohibiting the use of cannabis hasn’t worked,” Walz said in a statement. “By legalizing adult-use cannabis, we’re expanding our economy, creating jobs, and regulating the industry to keep Minnesotans safe.”

The legislation allows adults 21 and older to carry up to 2 ounces of marijuana in public and possess up to 2 pounds at home, starting Aug. 1. It will also automatically expunge low-level cannabis convictions and create a board to examine expunging or resentencing felony cannabis convictions.
“Legalizing adult-use cannabis and expunging or resentencing cannabis convictions will strengthen communities,” Walz added. “This is the right move for Minnesota.”

However, the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Zach Stephenson (D-Coon Rapids), has warned it will likely take time to expunge criminal records and get licensed dispensaries up and running in the state.

The Minnesota Bureau of Apprehensions has previously said the earliest it would be able to expunge all records would be by August 2024.
Efforts to legalize recreational marijuana use had previously been held up in the Minnesota Senate, which was controlled by Republican lawmakers until this year.

ATF: Marijuana users in Minnesota can’t own firearms despite new law
Just one day after Minnesota legalized the recreational use of marijuana, an agency that regulates the use of firearms warned that any current user of marijuana is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives field office in St. Paul, Minn. issued the clarification on Tuesday shortly after Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed a bill legalizing recreational marijuana. The clarification states that under federal law, current users of marijuana are prohibited from possessing, receiving, transporting or shipping firearms or ammunition.

“Until marijuana is legalized federally, firearms owners and possessors should be mindful that it remains federally illegal to mix marijuana with firearms and ammunition,” ATF’s Acting Special Agent in Charge Jeff Reed of the St. Paul Field Division said in a statement.
“As regulators of the firearms industry and enforcers of firearms laws, we felt it was important to remind Minnesotans of this distinction as the marijuana laws adjust here in the State of Minnesota.”

According to an analysis by the RAND Corporation, nearly 40 percent of residents in Minnesota reported owning a gun between 2007 and 2016. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 18 percent of Americans reported using marijuana in 2019.

The agency said that those looking to purchase firearms must attest whether they are a user of marijuana on their applications. The agency also noted that there is no exception for those that who marijuana for medical purposes.

Minnesota became the 23rd state in the nation to fully legalize marijuana on Tuesday, allowing those 21 and older to carry up to two ounces of marijuana and possess two pounds of the substance at home beginning Aug. 1.

“We’ve known for too long that prohibiting the use of cannabis hasn’t worked,” Walz said in a statement. “By legalizing adult-use cannabis, we’re expanding our economy, creating jobs, and regulating the industry to keep Minnesotans safe.”

Wonder what brought this on?
I'd be more excited if i thought there was a chance a democrat could win that seat, but i highly doubt that, it would take close to a miracle.

They took the hit already, might as well go with the new market, the boycotting beer drinkers will be back to their favorite brew when the shit dies down. All they need to do is change the design of the cans for some of it and market it under another name that will appeal to morons, like Real American beer or manly beer...

Piss in a can made for morons, how about Mom and apple pie beer, or family values beer or may even Jesus's brew. There are a million ways to grift off these morons and I figure that is most of what is going on with these dumb asses.

The grifters have found the buttons to push with bigots, just look at the crowd funding results when one of them gets into shit or murders a black person on a video. The guy who strangled the black fellow on the subway is making a killing fundraising off his murder and lots of J6 assholes are profiting off their legal defense crowd funding. Even a Karen who got into a dispute with a black guy over a bicycle rental is making a killing on crowd funding as soon as the rightwing media sphere gets ahold of it the money rolls in.

King James Bible Banned From Some Utah Schools
The King James Bible is being removed from elementary and middle school libraries in Davis County, Utah, after a complaint that it contained passages describing sex and violence.

High schools in the county will still be able to keep the scriptures on their library shelves.

A three-person committee, appointed by the county school district to determine if the Bible is appropriate for students to see, found it contained vulgarity or violence, The Salt Lake City Tribune reported.

ABC4 noted that Davis County School District Communications Director Christopher Williams said that while the committee did not find that the book contained "sensitive material"as defined in Utah law, some vulgarity and violence was found to be inappropriate for younger readers.

The complaint against the Bible was filed by an unknown person in March, according to the television station. It came after a statewide law passed in 2022 permitted challenges to books found in school libraries.

ABC4 noted that as of March, the law had been used 81 times. And Davis County has removed 33 books for material deemed inappropriate for younger readers, including sex, vulgarity, and violence.

Meanwhile, Williams said an individual has already filed an appeal of the decision in an attempt to make the Bible available to all age levels in schools in the county.

Schools are currently in recess in Davis and classes will not resume until Aug. 17, ABC 4 said.

Book of Mormon is next and Joe Smith's biography is one of a pervert, grifter, compulsive liar and fabulist so ban that too! Imagine the land of magic underwear trying to defend Mormonism while banning the bible, it's going from the ridiculous to the sublime.

If the democrats win the billionaires who own most of this shit will take the hit, if the republicans win the taxpayers will, and they won't be rich taxpayers either.

The trend of working remotely from home will continue and perhaps lead to a renaissance of small towns and rural communities that can offer a higher quality of life. It could upset the urban rural political divide as more educated people live further from large cities and might only come into the office a couple of times a week. Fewer commutes and cheap electric transportation with an EV could see some people living further away from large urban centers. Retail stores and shopping malls have seen the impact of the internet and online shopping, and people who work in offices could see more remote work and jobs replaced by AI soon.

Who takes the hit if the commercial real-estate market crashes? Do the taxpayers bail out wealthy investors and speculators or do they eat their losses like everybody else? Must we save them to save the economy?
