And just for the record:

Virginia legalized personal possession and home cultivation of recreational marijuana on July 1, 2021.

Of course Boaz is cheering the arrest of a Black woman for doing something completely legal where she lives.

Boaz is just a fool who has been hornswoggled by the ruling elite into perpetuating their power whilst believing he is participating in an ongoing revivalist political revolution. He is nothing more than a modern serf given freedom to shout at the clouds while picking institutional cotton for the Man.

How dare they infringe on Trumpy's money making schemes!

Only Trumpy can launder money and racketeer with impunity. Everyone, even Virginians, should know that by now.

"illegal amounts of marijuana"

Dumb to have laws like this. It should either be legal, or not.

Agreed.

It's like selling a six-pack, while arresting the beer truck driver.

The Justice Department alleged that Lucas "failed to report the interest obtained in this entity on her required Statement of Economic Interests forms" as a legislator.

Oh a paperwork crime.

Republicans looooooove sending people to camps for not having their papers in order.

An Alaskan bush pilot was arrested and his plane seized for taking a person with groceries back to their home with a six-pack in the bags. Apparently it's a dry village.

The case is to be heard by SCOTUS. if it hasn't already.

But these are white people.

What a shock.
They go after an elderly black woman. That they just happen to have a political beef with.
Perfectly on-brand for these closet Klan members.
