It’s generational discrimination

You mean, like between the people who lived and died without being able to smoke cannabis legally and those who now can?

Every single law ever approved has created a barrier between those who lived before the law was approved and those who lived after. Public health care, public pensions, everything.

Congratulations, you found the worst take.

Different laws now versus then are not the same thing as different laws for me versus you. I do not feel the need to explain this. If you exist in some four-dimensional paradox where time and space are interchangeable, warp yourself to a future where you understand how change works.

Disappointed in every single person who thinks frostbiker's comment isn't objectively wrong.
