    Yep, this sounds like the harm reduction approach that the left has been advocating for. It sounds like these are alternatives to prison for people with addictions. Not saying he’ll be able to make it work, but “tax cannabis + harm reduction” is much better than what a lot of Republicans’ drug policies are.

      The problem is:

      • RFK wants to ban legal medications and his multiple other statements make it clear he thinks organic food can replace them. That’s creating clear harms for people.
      • He may envision this as a voluntary commune but in reality once he has government backing these could be something non consensual. It’s worrisome coming from an openly authoritarian administration.

        You were right about it being rage bait, too bad everyone fell for it.
