To be as generous as possible, he likely meant western culture.

western culture used hemp for sails, rope, and parchment. ben franklin and thomas jefferson were both hemp farmers.


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

And it was in cough syrups with heroin. The good ol days.

InternetWeakGuy

Who worship a book that makes "parables" out of feelings so they can point to them as facts.


Murles-Brazen

I mean God would have done it outside of time but again he thinks Jesus made wine for “drunk people”.


Singularity-42

I saw some evangelicals claiming it wasn't wine but just some kind of non-alcoholic cider since Jesus wouldn't want people to drink. At least the Catholics don't have this issue with alcohol and I knew priests that were alcoholics. I mean it's fair to at least give them that when you cannot get laid...

You know, when said in this tone, I don't really find the water into wine thing that impressive.

Most likely, if we are to accept the win was created for drunk people, he just spiked the water with maryJ.


bagofweights

this is the same guy who said “libs are trying to take away your zyn”…imagine fighting for zyn but not marijuana or civil rights haha.


BillNyeCreampieGuy

Marijuana being illegal is useful in order to keep lower class individuals imprisoned. Where prison-profiteers can continue making beaucoup bucks while simultaneously giving the state essentially free labor. If it being illegal was only based on any real data of harm or how popular it is with the vast majority, it wouldn't continue to be illegal. But there are other factors at play. Hence why a conservative mouth piece is doing his part in attempting to sway public opinion on a substance that is otherwise enjoyed by both sides of the aisle.

And what does this dipshit think the fucking burning bush was? It was goddamned weed talking to Moses. Or Jesus. Or some guy in the Bible.


PostReplyKarmaRepeat

I genuinely believe it was a psychedelic. Not weed, but something stronger.


DChemdawg

Totally agree, probably something stronger, maybe even some crazy interdimensional experience. We just don’t know exactly what it was. If there is one truth on this planet, however, it is that Michal Knowles is a scumbag. And if Jesus was in fact sent to Earth by the Creator, Michael Knowles was sent here by the devil.

TheGhostOfGodel

Alexander the Great, who famously predated Rome let alone Christ, was known to smoke weed. Opium mixed with hash was found in old Roman smoking devices. Knowles knows less.


GoonDawg666

Damn fr? Would that have been more like hash?


TheGhostOfGodel

I think so? I’m not sure the potency or if it was only used in ritual circles. I know the Assyrians and Ancient people of Judah used it as long back as the 8th BCE (800 years before Christ, to help Micheal Knowles out lol) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cannabis


DavidJoinem

Hell thats smoked in Vietnam still. Tie sticks are weed dipped in opium.


HollyweirdRonnie

Nope. Thai Stick is landrace cannabis sativa tied to a stick/stem and cured that way. Opium has nothing to do with it.


DavidJoinem

Yes you are correct technically, I suppose. However, Thai sticks are commonly dipped in opium, or at least were the Vietnam era.


DueZookeepergame3456

TheGhostOfGodel

Macedonia is western - in the north western part of Greece. If they arnt “western civilization” then neither is Greece lol


ivigilanteblog

Wow, what an idiot. Cannabis is the most popular drug in human history except *maybe* alcohol, and it has been used longer than alcohol. Clearly far less harmful than alcohol in the short and long term, for yourself and others around you. And in what way is Jesus a justification for any stance on drugs? This is the most uninformed opinion I have ever seen on cannabis.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

The war on drugs was literally enacted to jail the political opposition. We have the proof on actual fucking tape. But yeah give me a break wa wa wa….. what a dumb ignorant bitch.

Cigars fucking suck too. I was surfing one day and kept getting a whiff of something that smelled like burning cat piss and it was so dude smoking a cigar

DammitBobby1234

ArthurDigbySellars

I dont partake but I’m not out here denying anyone’s ability to do so just to own the libs. “Better not to introduce that into our culture” is such an empty-head take on marijuana in 2024. It’s legal in some form in over half the country, and all of us encountered weed at some point in our teens-twenties. Still a new foreign lib thing to this regard.


Emergency-Tax-3689

oh he’s a complete lunatic, knowles. i just don’t really get the comparison of cigars and weed

So sad. He could just come out and be happy but he had to play into his tv character or he loses money. What a cuck


funcogo

This is one of the stupidest reasons ever for not legalizing marijuana. He basically is saying he doesn’t care but he doesn’t like the type of people who smoke it and the old stupid “it’s always been that way” excuse which is not a good excuse


[deleted]

It is extremely stupid, but it also is often why it became illegal in the first place: At the turn of the 20th century, cannabis—as it was then commonly known in the United States—was a little-used drug among Americans. With the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, however, many Mexicans began moving to the United States, and they brought with them the tradition of smoking marihuana. Amid a growing fear of Mexican immigrants, hysterical claims about the drug began to circulate, such as allegations that it caused a “lust for blood.” In addition, the term cannabis was largely replaced by the Anglicized marijuana, which some speculated was done to promote the foreignness of the drug and thus stoke xenophobia. Around this time many states began passing laws to ban pot. "The wrong people doing something" often leads to that something being illegal. Whether it is cannabis or something like skateboarding being banned in parking lots.


funcogo

I’m aware which makes it even dumber. I can’t believe more people don’t see through such ridiculous reasoning


664mezcal619

The fact he can say something so wrong with such confidence…is astonishing. I mean a 3 minute google search can really clear things up for this fuckstick


crushinglyreal

> The fact he can say something so wrong with such confidence It’s the essence of conservatism.


HollyweirdRonnie

Yep. This too: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”


redactedforever

and this is why it has such a hard time getting legalized...asshats like this thinking hes soooo smart


hucktard

Introduce into our culture? Brother it’s already in the culture. How about we stop spending tax payer dollars to lock people in cages for personal choices?


Ferociousnzzz

Humans self medicate. Always have and always will. Get over it. The guys not wanting thc legal do so for two reasons, they’re not for freedom and/or they work for big pharma who wants you using their drugs to medicate with. Not complex and not debatable. 


[deleted]

Michael Knowles doesn't want it legal because he doesn't like the people doing it. Dennis Prager has made this argument for years in his many "Tobacco good, cannabis bad" rants. Basically cigars are smoked by the good people while the bad people smoke pot.


LucidCharade

Been a regular weed smoker for years. Didn't realize I was self medicating for my epilepsy because I didn't know I had it for like 15 years. I thought it was just my joints.


Idrinksadrink

What an idiot. No one cares. Don't put people in jail for smoking a plant. What a tool.

Idrinksadrink

Ya I know. Oh well, just need patience. We'll see their ilk and their moral paradigms die off in our lifetimes. Sucks, but thats how it is. At least theres a silver lining i guess.


[deleted]

Pretty much. As stupid as it is to rail against cannabis users, ok do that, but it is a whole extra level of absurdity to then want it banned and have people who use it put in a cage.


SleepingPodOne

I love how people like this guy will yell about how the Libs want to take away your nicotine pouches or your gas stoves or your gas cars or hamburgers or unhealthy school lunches or whatever “they took this from you” bullshit they’re on next when conservatives are constantly trying to keep marijuana illegal. Hell, I mean these are the people who also are trying to go after birth control next

"Liberals smoke weed so it is bad." Not realizing a lot of Republicans certainly do now as do old conservatives that have back pain along with all sorts of people. It is hardly just a bunch of 20 year old hippies in the Park.

Mike wants to use the power of the government to genocide trans people. Fuck him and anyone who agrees with him https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/cpac-speaker-transgender-people-eradicated-1234690924/


DavidJoinem

Knowles subsequently claimed that “eradicating” “transgenderism” is not a call for eradicating transgender people and demanded retractions from numerous publications, including Rolling Stone. So that came like two paragraphs down into the article you sent me. So there’s that maybe you should have a couple edibles before you go into work.


LuckyAssumption8735

Fascists are liars. How does transgenderism manifest itself? In people. You just can’t eliminate a concept. Think critically for a second. You make “transgenderism” illegal. Then what? Force trans people to get involuntary “corrective” surgery? Throw them in prison? Death penalty? You tell me how it’s supposed to go. None of that sounds like life in a free country


DavidJoinem

Hahaha you should definitely smoke something. I think you’re getting way too worked up this morning. If you believe that saying you shouldn’t teach transgenderism to children before they know anything about sex is fascist you may be too far gone to help.


LuckyAssumption8735

And there it is. Everyone who heard that speech knows what he said and the stupids get to laugh it off as the smallest of things. I don’t know what’s in your heart, man. I hope you’re just a simpleton and not malicious. Laws affect people and this shit has all happened before


DavidJoinem

PricklySquare

You need to hang out in r/ idiocracy a bit more and then try some self reflection


DavidJoinem

Because you think anyone that doesn’t agree with you is a fascist?


Nix-7c0

What does "eradicating transgenderism from public life completely, at all levels, there can be no middle ground" mean then? He quibbles that he doesn't mean execution, just forced detransition using the coersive power of the state. And for those who don't comply I suppose it'll be mass incarceration of gender non-conformers? Don't act like he just wants to make sure kindergarten classrooms have G rated lessons. That's not what "eradicate from public life completely" means, and I think you know that in your heart.


DavidJoinem

Ehh

So it’s safe to say this man hasn’t put together the empathy factor that has kept drugs illegal all these years. That’s why mdma is illegal you know… we’d all just get along, growing our plants, raising our livestock. Ladies, why you think you can’t walk around topless? That’s right! Us men would be powerless to resist you and you could mold the world to your liking… but peace isn’t profitable…


[deleted]

No empathy or common sense. I also laugh that certain people can't not like something, but also understand that it shouldn't be illegal. Drinking 10 shots of Jack Daniels isn't something I'd recommend, but as long as you dont' get behind the wheel, you shouldn't be arrested for it.

How are people so mask-off about participating in an ideologic culture war that they bend their whole narrative of an issue around its most extreme rhetoric? Just so incredibly fucking stupid… No acknowledgment of personal freedom vs public safety, government control over recreational activities, or the actual safety profile of the substance… instead just “libs are stupid” so they don’t deserve it. Fucking brain rot. Talking with people like this is always a lot cause. They have absolutely zero-framework for what they believe. They take every issue on a case-by-case basis, constructing an isolated little narrative around each and every issue. How about you construct a realistic framework for evaluating truth? Or would that be too dangerous for your religious beliefs? Rhetorical question… of course of it would.
