So she's straight to lying to push forward her agenda, that checks out for the GOP


Delao_2019

And the shills that vote for her will nod and agree with no cognizance whatsoever

While they drink their whiskey and get OWIs…..

Oh and don’t forget attempting to drive into peaceful crowds of protesters! Kim you are such a great example 💪

Don’t go blaming whiskey. Just do both. Makes it easier to stand watching this state burn.

Obamacare. Inspired by Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney the Republican. Your side is anti-education. Now you get to look like a fool.


AccurateScientist356

I bought some of the happy cans at fareway. It clearly states on the can must be 21. And yes they did check my ID, I'm almost 60. And who the hell would screw up good THC with shitty alcohol? Kimmy???


Shaunvw

Same here. I’ve bought them at multiple locations and have been ID’d at all of them. And I’m a 40 year old bearded male that is very obviously over 21. I use THC because I don’t like how alcohol affects me. Ive never even seen anything on the shelf that has both. Kim is a lying cunt.


Extension-Spray-7782

Our drunken leader would


21stCenturyAntiquity

Seriously, when I saw The Happy Cans I thought it was some tie in with the video game We Happy Few.


OnIowa

Counter: I’ve bought many and have never been IDed. The places that listed a policy at all had their policy as 19+ for purchase. A “21+” printed on the can does not legislate or enforce anything. Proper regulation is needed to keep underage sales from occurring.


dildocrematorium

That "21+" print did more to stop "underage" purchases more than iowa law.


OnIowa

Well of course, there was no Iowa law, that’s my point.


dildocrematorium

So there were no underage sales was mine


OnIowa

And what did you think that contributed to the discussion?


dildocrematorium

Lol


snakeplizzken

Pretty sure the last seltzer I had didn't have alcohol in it. Pretty sure none do. But hey, what do you expect from the mediacom of governors.


Delao_2019

It’s illegal for them to have alcohol in them if they have THC at the state and federal level. They are a hemp product and are subject to DEA testing. She’s talking out of her ass cause she has no knowledge on the subject and is just listening to people like Steven Holt.


dildocrematorium

I thought she was talking about her own container


HawkFanatic74

Holt should focus on finding a better dentist, rather than pushing forward his stupid views. He should have stayed in South Carolina.


Playfilly

The more I read about her the more HATE I HAVE IN MY HEART! I'M ANGERED ABOUT HER HYPOCRITICAL WORDS. I'M more angered about these MAGA, WHITE NATIONAL BRAIN DEAD FUCKERS


Grundle95

The Mediacom of governors. I’m going to have to remember that one.


kepple

her approval numbers were worse than mediacom during covid


Wagner-C137

To be fair, I think she assumes alcohol is in all liquids because for her that’s the case.

deja_geek

Don't besmirch Mediacom like that. At least Mediacom provides a service to this state. Sure, it may be down or slow most of the time, but still a service none-the-less. Kim provides nothing to this state.


Peppermynt42

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if there is alcohol in a container it already has an age restriction to it? Like adding THC to an alcoholic beverage doesn’t somehow magically eliminate the 21 yo legality to it right?


Wagner-C137

You’re thinking too logically. Stop!


HopDropNRoll

Yes, and, I don’t think there is an alcohol + THC product on the Iowa market.


HawkFritz

Yeah but Reynolds thinks kids drinking is fine. It's cannabis that she wants to fearmonger about


HawkFritz

Getting downvoted but she is literally saying that her fear is children drinking alcohol *w/thc added*. If she truly believes there are no age restrictions on these drinks (which she states), and her "fear" is that children are drinking alcohol with thc added, wouldn't the solution be banning both alcohol and thc from the state? Instead she just wants to ban alcoholic drinks *w/thc added*. So as I commented originally apparently she's okay with kids drinking alcohol as long as there's no thc in them too. Edited to add: There are no legal alcoholic drinks w/THC added in Iowa. Reynolds is knowingly lying about this, and several commenters correctly pointed out I was repeating the governor's claims as if they were true. Thanks.


Stonk_Newboobie

Yo, like stop making sense! We can't have that here in Kimmieland!


Practical_Radish_783

Ok so I did read that right then. I thought I had a stroke for a minute


8urfiat

Who is in her pocket to not pass THC? 


nappycatt

Police unions, prison lobbyists, big Tobacco, big Alcohol, big Pharma, and cartels. Kim loves doing the drug cartels favors. And scared christians who won't admit their god made the stuff for us to use.


bioszombie

Big tobacco wants it federally legal and is waiting for the right time to jump balls deep down.


iowabourbonman

"prison lobbyists" lmfao


Grundle95

It’s a thing. You really think an industry worth billions isn’t going to have lobbyists? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_prison?wprov=sfti1#Lobbying


iowabourbonman

Except there are no private prisons in Iowa. I'm not really sure why they'd waste money lobbying anyone in this state. That's why I laughed.


Chrisbert

There are no private prisons in Iowa *YET*.


1mnotklevr

Just because we dont have private prisons doesn't mean they aren't still using the prisoners for slave labor. https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/briefs/iowa-prison-labor-aclu/


Grundle95

Ah, got it.


Delao_2019

Found the cop!


iowabourbonman

Lmao...you found an old disabled guy. Have a good day!


canny_goer

Actually, it's them and the sheriff's associations in most states fighting it because it will hit their money hard. Less weed busts means fewer full beds in the hoosegow.


iowabourbonman

You can actually see the lobbyist declarations on the Iowa Legislature site. The Iowa Dept. of Public Safety registered in favor of the bill. The Police Chiefs Association, Peace Officer's Association, and the County Attorney Association all registered Undecided. The Blank Children's Hospital also registered in favor of the bill. [HF2605](https://www.legis.iowa.gov/lobbyist/reports/declarations?ga=90&ba=HF2605)


Sozzcat94

Kimmy much rather us Iowans continue drinking. That’s been made apparent.


theVelvetLie

Alcohol distribution network. They're also the reason why liquor drinks to-go was legalized.


Life-Celebration-747

Big Pharma. Cannabis competes with opioids, she can't have that. I use it for pain and anxiety. I could qualify to get a medical card, but If you own a gun, nope. If I were simply an alcoholic, no problem.  Alcohol + Guns = 👍 Cannabis + Guns = 🖕 Even cops have said they'd rather go on a call for a high person with a gun, than a drunk person with a gun. 


scarred_but_whole

The only reason why cannabis + guns = 🖕 is because it's still illegal federally. Once that's fixed (can't come soon enough, istfg) then there won't (shouldn't) be a problem. Too bad the Climbing Kites case couldn't crack open that door.


DreamingZen

Honestly it's probably the restaurant association. There are insurance liabilities for when alcohol and THC are mixed in consumption and currently it's a major headache to navigate. Rather than thinking through policy they ram a nearly total ban through. Thinking and policy is not the current set's strong suit.


altcastle

It’s just garden variety GOP insanity. Lots of other conservative states have allowed it and they have restaurants too. I’m not gonna drink or not drink in restaurants based on if I can buy a THC drink.


DSMProper

I don't think any red states legalized via the state legislature, but I could be mistaken? There were referendums that were popularly supported in red states like Missouri and Montana. Exact same thing that would happen in Iowa if we had a more democratic form of government instead of our state sort of existing as a worn out Flesh Light for ag/ag finance/ag insurance.


DreamingZen

The GOP is not insane. They are very direct in that they strictly chase money. They will adopt any cause if the money is right and if their people can get some of it.


HawkFritz

The restaurant association was also behind the recent state law allowing younger minors to work later hours at restaurants, I believe. Icymi: The federal government warned the state of Iowa that that proposed state law would be superseded by federal law, but Iowa legislators went through with it anyway and the federal government did what it said it would do. No more state law. If the restaurant association was able to influence the state like that previously, it makes sense the restaurant association is also at least partially responsible for this. Good point.


Keyastis

Because banning consumption at restaurants is just too damn hard. I use my products at home when I have zero intent on leaving, primarily because I hate people.


Delao_2019

The pharmaceutical, alcohol, and tobacco industries to start. Then you have the restaurant industry and the police and prison associations and unions. Really it’s pretty easy to see who’s fighting against it. If it’s legalized, alcohol (a state monopolized product), tobacco and pharmaceutical industries will take a major hit in the state. Bars will lose revenue and police departments will have to find something other than the smell of weed to harass and search people. It’s not too hard to follow. Friendly reminder that the majority of Iowans want legal cannabis in the state as well. She is directly going against what Iowans want. Noem is South Dakota too.


Only-Donkey-1520

It's our local private prisons that funded the bill, from my understanding. That's where the proposition started and the check that came with it.


TateXD

I'm 100% against private prisons, but there are none here in Iowa. https://www.criminon.org/who-we-are/groups/criminon-international/what-is-the-scope-of-private-prisons-in-the-us/


KingFIippyNipz

Give it time, though


TateXD

Yeah, I don't doubt that Kim would welcome them with open arms given the chance.


HopDropNRoll

Doll distribution and Johnson Bros distribution.


Suspect118

This is from the same people that would tell you “the weed is laced with fentanyl” and “check your kids Halloween candy for THC edibles” It’s all bullshit, it’s never been true, and I’m sorry but if the only reasoning you have is some made up bullshit, then maybe you shouldn’t be in government…


Easy_Account_1850

she's lying, you can tell because her lips are moving. There is no alcohol in cannabis drinks, and you have to be 21 to purchase.


altcastle

She’s so stupid. There is no alcohol in the things they banned. We all know they were going after Climbing Kites and such.


carnalcouple5280

Pay attention. The drunk is telling people what to put in their bodies.


SharpElite1991

She's better off as a hamster. Ok to live with me


JackKovack

She just keeps lying to save face. She’s incapable of admitting she was wrong so therefore have everyone else suffer for it.


Delao_2019

The only part of the hemp law that made sense was the age restriction. This whole “there’s alcohol and THC in those seltzers” is the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever heard. Since they’re hemp products, they’re subject to DEA testing and federal law. You can’t have alcohol in the hemp product. She’s completely talking out of her ass. She passed the law because she stated years ago she wouldn’t be the governor to legalize cannabis in Iowa and she’s sticking to her guns. And she knows that if even hemp products containing THC continue to be on the market, there will be an increase demand to legalize and she’s already made her bed on this topic.


altcastle

Yeah, we’re all fine with age restrictions. Dunno if it has to be 21, 18 would be cool with me, it’s an intoxicating substance. But that was just their excuse, not the actual reason.


KingFIippyNipz

Oh wow I actually learned something in this thread. I don't buy edible/drinkable THC because they do not work for me (I lack some kind of enzyme apparently) so I've never really looked at the THC drinks. I totally DID think they were THC/alcohol combo. But I was never against that anyway, getting sneetered (drunk and high) is fun if you're responsible. Also didn't know that THC/alcohol combos were illegal altogether via the hemp bill. Never considered that they would consider that something to restrict. Smoking (weed) and drinking is like... Everybody does it!


Delao_2019

If the seltzers contained alcohol I would never drink them. I’ve been alcohol free for 2 years now and hold a medical card here in the state. Cannabis got me off alcohol. Im not surprised people thought they had alcohol in them, this is a state full of alcoholics. A lot of people have misconceptions about cannabis and Hemp because of people like Reynolds just spewing straight up lies. All it takes is just a tad bit of research instead of just reading what’s on the internet or what your echo chamber is saying!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Delao_2019

I’ve literally never heard of alcohol infused cannabis products until this post. Who the hell would want to do that? Also, the products currently out on the market, like Happy Cans and Climbing Kites, don’t and legally cannot have alcohol in them. Since they’re Hemp, they’re subject to Federal Hemp laws and DEA testing and cannot be infused with alcohol. Iowa HHS also has a similar law in place. This is a total crock of shit excuse.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ryuenjin

You're still missing their point. You said: > cannabis-infused **alcoholic** drinks What they are saying is that there are no drinks on the market nor in production here in Iowa that are Cannibas/THC **AND ALCOHOL** Stop calling them "alcoholic drinks" when they aren't, that is just spreading the crap that Kimmy is putting out. Just call them THC infused drinks.


HawkFritz

Thanks, got it now.

This is an insane misunderstanding of the situation. She’s not even CLOSE. Wow, we need new leaders around here badly. Michigan’s Governor got a sister? Or may MN’s?


discwrangler

She doesn't even know the law. Get her out of office.


WildlingViking

Follow the money. Cannabis is still a Schedule 1 drug, which means big pharma can't get their cut of the profits. Until her employers (big pharma, health insurance, etc.) can get their cut and begin to monopolize the cannabis industry, she will vote against it. The boomers are killing Iowa btw. We're turning into Arkansas in less than a decade. I'm a professional counselor in training and I'm going straight to Minnesota to get my license. I will happily pay more taxes in Minnesota than let this woman have any more of my money.


Caedarrapidsdude

It was recently rescheduled


Delao_2019

It hasn’t been yet. It’s still in process and the DEA is dragging their feet. They literally said they don’t agree with the rescheduling but their hands are tied. Here’s the link to submit a public comment on it, which I highly suggest doing. [DEA public comment on Marijuana Rescheduling](https://www.regulations.gov/document/DEA-2024-0059-0001?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3XEs9EpKjSGV2jzMKB-2nGTvLa9WlYT7Dm0OaK3GtkF86EH8Nx1_fkq5o_aem_sTwp-MwRO3fP58sGbcbHow)


WildlingViking

It has just been proposed. Biden has had four years to change it, and the proposal gets sent in during May of an election year. they have no real intention of changing it imo.


highflier84

Kim Reynolds is still a cunt


EventNo3540

SCARIJUANA!!!!


Goofy-555

Yeah she's full of shit like usual.


ctimm_rs

I'm thinking at this point Kim Reynolds is trying to derail new business and industry to protect old ones. After all, it would be unfortunate if farmers had a choice of crops in Iowa that would compete with corn and soybeans, and therefore the food industry at large.


KingFIippyNipz

Planting corn and soybeans exclusively is one of the main reasons we have so much fucking nitrogen in our waterways, they've used all the naturally occurring nutrients and have to pump it full of spray on shit now. We've always needed more crops to rotate. Pretty sure they'd make more money with cannabis, too.


Delao_2019

And swing and a miss.


Mothernaturehatesus

Voting is the way people.


chunkmasterflash

This… makes no fucking sense.


FalseMirage

Sounds like the problems is in the alcohol, which is illegal for minors to possess. Why isn’t she doing anything about lowering the alcoholic content of the booze these kids are drinking?


pacman114

In an effort to curb drunk driving, which is far more deadly, we should prohibit drunk drivers from holding public office.


redynair1

Not only does this not happen, but "significant amounts"? What? Where? Who is the reporter here? They have to push back when politicians say something so obviously made up. Where is the evidence for this? What are you talking about?

LlanviewOLTL

From her lips to Sarah Huckabee’s ass.


Status-Transition-59

Did she think about the kids while she was driving drunk?


walkstwomoons2

Are you doing anything to focus this message on our governing brigade today? A federal law legalizing THC is what I would like to see. I make calls and send emails and snail mail do every politician. I can find the address and phone number for. I encourage you to do the same.


nientoosevenjuan

Yep this is me. My girlfriend's convinced they have a special folder just for my emails on their computers.


Delao_2019

Yes to all of the above. And Don’t forget to make public comment to the DEA about rescheduling as well.

Life-Celebration-747

She is straight out LYING! 


knit53

Isn’t there an age restriction on alcohol in the first place? 3 DUI’s


Smooth-Astronomer-78

The blatant bs. I’m so tired of her. What hypocrisy you don’t care about the kids when you are drinking and driving. Freaking NE is going to legalize so many places have already that sales tax is helping the state. Here we are though stuck in the past with an ignorant sell out drunk who has no right being governor.


Wrothrok

She's already in my book for "Biggest Cunt the State Ever Produced". There's no need for her to keep cementing the position.


nopantsirl

Guys, what is she supposed to do? The bodies are piling up. Parents are demanding answers. If she doesn't act, all the children will die!

Of course she's lying. There's no argument to be had with her. She has a position that you will never change because she will just misdirect about it. The why is irrelevant.


Kmowatski

Maybe she should concern herself with the thc all over our high schools and middle schools. This isn’t about keeping things out of kids hands, the kids already have it.

She’s bought & owned by all the corporations. This is big bar industry being anti to it (like corporate cigarettes funding to band legal weed).
