    Yeah it’s a small model of the US, Philly and Pittsburg on the coasts and nothing but red in the middle, that keep the state from progressing. It’s also full of religious nuts, and from what I have heard is that the Amish are highly against it, as it would cut into their hemp sales.

      Yup, it’s, Philly, Pittsburgh, and Alabama in between! Also one of 4 states with current organized chapters of the KKK. Anecdotally, a few of my friends went spelunking in a local cave system near Lancaster back in college. They exited one of the side access tunnels right next to a house with an active Klan cookout. People in full robes. My friends went back in the cave very quickly.

        Wow that’s crazy, but I am not surprised my grandmother just passed away and she lived in Lebanon and there were many old white supremicist types around there.

        That’s what they want people to think. They are ass holes who are off the grid so they don’t have to pay taxes. Yet they have no problem using wireless technology. Go to any Amish market and you will see all the young Amish kids on their phones. They will talk shit about you in front of your face speaking in their distorted Dutch.

      The Amish are selling it too. I’m surprised they’re against it.

        Yeah they sell “hemp” not cannabis, same as all the southern states so they can get around the laws they pushed to enact. It’s just crazy. If cannabis is legal to buy at a store then no one would buy their dirt weed at a farmers market.
