Hypocrisy: thy name is Miranda

In 2019 Corey Day, a former executive director of the state Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party formed Cannabis for Economic Growth and made the dollars and cents case to legalize for all adults in Minnesota

But, Miranda Gohn is a rabid anti-cannabis crusader who believes ten year olds can declare their gender identities and adults have no cannabis rights. Gohn even does more drugs than most of us do: estrogen, antiretrovirals, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotics and anti-depressants.

And, for someone who says she's private and isn't looking to lead a movement Gohn has become a serial internet troll. So, in a series of rants at the Dakota War Toilet LGBTQ activist, Gohn pleads with readers to defy ballot measures legalizing cannabis for all adults while arguing her gender reassignment surgeries were essential to curing her dysphoria and clinical depression!
What the DFL has done by advocating, legalizing and pushing for full commercialization of THC (marijuana) betrays what it historically stood for and counters any social justice argument. This is a predatory poverty industry, backed by big money, running on an addiction-for-profit business model. It is as if the DFL is determined to be a victim-creating political party generating more dependency and placing at higher risk of widening economic and educational disparities in Minnesota.

What else, Miranda? A transgender Republican? How does that even work? Your liver must look like a wad of pork sausage and that you've chosen to alter your consciousness and your body in ways most of us shudder to imagine is hypocrisy even Earth haters can comprehend.
This week DFL lawmakers rolled out the 243-page marijuana legalization bill they hope to pass in the current legislative term. Minnesota’s bill would allow adults age 21 and over to purchase and possess up to two ounces of cannabis flower or edible products from a licensed retailer and grow up to 8 plants at their own home. It would also establish a statewide Office of Cannabis Management to oversee the new industry, with authority to grant licenses, tax sales, test product purity and set limits on labeling, advertising and potency. There are also limits on how many and what types of licenses individuals can obtain, making it difficult for any one person or entity to become the Cannabis King of Minnesota.

Dispensaries in both New Mexico and Montana have each sold over $300 million in cannabis since legalizing for all adults. Arizona has sold over $2.1 billion in cannabis since January, 2021.

Cannabis is a safe, effective palliative but black market product not tested or subject to regulation makes America and Minnesota less safe.
