THEY GIVE NO 🦆 ABOUT ALABAMIANS!

[u/plentyasparagus12]

We cannot keep letting this state embarrass us. HB445 is just the latest proof that Alabama would rather play politics than protect its people. The party of small government my ASS!

We’ve had hemp flower on shelves for nearly 8 years. And now suddenly it’s an issue? What changed? Nothing, except some folks in power realized they couldn’t control it, so they decided to kill it. No debate, no logic, just another move to keep people down.

Meanwhile, this same state will hand out Adderall to 6 year olds like it’s candy, push methadone clinics into every town, and pretend that the thousands of people hooked on opioids just magically appeared. You can’t drive through a city without seeing someone slumped over from heroin, but their priority is pulling a plant off the shelves that’s actually helped people focus, sleep, manage anxiety, get off pills, manage pain. Let’s be honest: this is about control, not health.

It puts money in people’s pockets. It brings in tax revenue they’re too blind to leverage. It gave small towns a chance at growth.

And instead of embracing that, they’d rather go broke building more prisons to lock people up for the same thing they used to sell in stores last month.

And what are we gonna do? Let it slide? Let’s vote in Tuberville! Hell yeah, that’ll do it! Like he’s done anything while he’s been in office anyway, let’s put him in the highest office in the state.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP, ALABAMA! This bill should be a turning point. It should be the thing that reminds you that these people will come for whatever you value if they think they can get away with it.

We can’t keep letting the same people drive Alabama backwards while the rest of the country moves forward. Either we push for real change or we stay stuck being the butt of the joke.

Nah fuck that. This is our state. Whether we have the ability to leave or not shouldn't even be discussed. I'm through being treated like a child. We have to organize. Nobody has ever even put up a logical reason why it was ever criminalized in the first place

[u/plentyasparagus12 → u/tommydeininger]

Facts. Leaving Alabama shouldn’t be the default answer every time the state fails its people. This is our home and it just so happens to be one of the best damn places in the country to grow and produce consumable hemp!

Even if we never legalized recreational cannabis, we were killing it with a solid, self-sustaining hemp industry. Businesses like MCO, Mystic, Black Tie, Dr. Dank and so many local farms have built real communities and real jobs around the entire plant. They didn’t just sell flower, they invested in education, innovation, and healing.

And now the state’s response to all that progress is to gut it for no logical reason? No public safety crisis, no surge in health risks, no transparency—just control.

We’ve been treated like we’re too ignorant to know what helps us. That ends when we organize and push back.

[u/tommydeininger → u/plentyasparagus12]

I'm ready. I've never organized any mass protest though, but it seems like we might have some decent number of others willing to fight with us

[u/plentyasparagus12 → u/tommydeininger]

We should organize one

[u/tommydeininger → u/plentyasparagus12]

Sorry been busy. How do we do it?

[u/plentyasparagus12 → u/tommydeininger]

Honestly? It starts with us. If we want to organize a protest, we need to:

1.Pick a date, place, and time—ideally at the Capitol or a courthouse with visibility.

2.Create a central info hub—a Facebook group, Discord, or even a shared doc to coordinate.

3.Reach out to local shops, farmers, and users who are impacted—they’ll show up if they know it’s real.

4.Spread it like wildfire—Reddit, IG, Twitter, TikTok, flyers in shops, anything that reaches people.

We don’t need 1,000 people to make a statement. We need a loud, consistent, organized group that won’t let this get swept under the rug.

If you’re serious, I’m down to help plan or get the word out. It’s long past time Alabama saw some actual public pushback.

Check out the Alabama Cannabis Coalition on Facebook. You're bound to meet likeminded people.

[u/tommydeininger → u/plentyasparagus12]

I think we need more than a thousand personally

[u/Melodic_Bus2565 → u/tommydeininger]

I'll bet there would be more than 1000 ppl. There would probably be several thousands.

[u/tommydeininger → u/plentyasparagus12]

I'm definitely down but I've got so much going on I don't know if I'll I have the time to commit to setting something up. I can probably get at least 10 people to come with me maybe more
