Preach, brother. I agree with you 100%.I also hate that these stock bros don’t understand that the real head shop owners had their culture stolen — by H-1B visa holders and gas stations. Since when did anyone think a gas station was a smoke shop?I risked my freedom just selling a water pipe. Head shops pushed the movement. Now that their stocks keep getting diluted, they’ve turned on the culture that was at the center of it in every town.There used to be that one hippie who owned the local head shop. These dudes don’t even understand why they’re called head shops. LOL.
More regulation is always the answer. LOL Fine — then shut down foreign-owned shops and pull hemp, vapes, and kratom out of gas stations too. Smoke shops and vape shops used to be owned by Americans. Thanks to the visa program, you’re lucky to find one owned by a White or Black guy anymore. @TheDankInformer treats more regulation as the default solution.
Let’s be real: this is an immigration-and-ownership problem, not just a market-shift story. Gas stations and foreign-owned vape shops took over what used to be head-shop culture. The people who built that space—the independent operators who were there before medical cannabis—got pushed out by convenience-store operators who treat pipes, carts, and hemp products like lottery tickets and energy drinks.
Not every smoke shop owner is selling cheap China hemp — that’s what @thedankinformer seems to assume. There are plenty of legitimate farms putting out high-quality product. He’s clearly frustrated that his stock plays haven’t worked out. Going after hemp isn’t going to help the industry. I have to wonder if he’s ever actually been in this space outside of trading stocks. His comments make him sound like a rookie, not a real advocate.
@BrianDaniel1972 Looks like the only thing he cares about is $MSOS going up. He’s willing to damage the rest of the movement just to make that bag work. A lot of these investors are already deep in the red. Hemp just became the easy scapegoat for a trade that never paid off.
@RepAndyHarrisMD Remove from Gas Stations protect American owned head shops!! The head shop culture has been destroyed by gas stations. All foreigner owned thinking they are now a smoke shop!!!!! Adult stores only!!!
@Tyler_Hall__@RepAndyHarrisMD If he is so concerned about the kids access to adult products then remove adult age gated products from stores kids can access. A ban makes it worse. Most underage purchases come from foreign owned shops like a gas station.
@RepAndyHarrisMD The American head shop owner has had the culture stolen by foreigners that have no clue about the market. Kids are not allowed in Head Shops.
@RepAndyHarrisMD How about not allowing it to be sold in Gas Stations adult stores only. Being sold in the same locations as pizza and slushes is the problem!!! Stop hurting the real "head shop" owners that are from this country.
The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.
New York:
133K NGOs handle $450 billion per year.
California:
225K NGOs handle $610 billion per year.
Over $1 trillion per year is moved within the NY and CA NGO ecosystem.
The fraud is staggering.
America is not in $39 trillion in debt.
