Freedom of speech in an American head shop

Freedom of Speech works best when paired with the intelligence to use it.

This is not a free speech issue. If it was, you would be arrested for talking about cannabis - but you're not.

This is about running a business and existing in a community when you sell shit that is obviously for illegal use. If you own one of these businesses, you hope your customers will be smart enough to know when to keep their fucking mouth's shut. If they don't (OP), they endanger your livelihood.

Don't be a dumbass. Play the game when in the head shop and then take your protest to city hall.
Dammmmm Uncle B is smart

Keep on Growin

Wondering how many people feel like I do. In America in a non weed legal state when your in a head shop/pipe shop You can't reference anything to do with weed, The second you do, your informed "sorry, I can't sell anything to you now". Due to talking about weed. Hence the loss of Freedom of speech. The guy that owns the store knows what I'm buying the pipe/papers/hooka for. I know why I'm buying it and the dumb asses that made this rule know why I'm buying it. To get high!!! IDK of any other store in America that if I say the wrong thing that I'm banned from purchasing anything for the rest of the day in that store.. So WTF. Does anyone else feel this way?

okay okay hold on there sparky

one if i owned a "tobacco pipe and bong store" id never acknowledge maharajahs

now he has the right to kick you out of his establishment whenever he damn well pleases

ik a feller who wont let rowdy/rude people get a seat in his restaurant

he tell them to fuck off because they dont tip well and make a fucking mess

he has the right to mkay?

secondly NEVER SMOKE WEED FROM A HOOKAH

shit pisses me off please dont smoke thc products from a hookah i love hookahs for shisha and it makes me look bad even when all i like out of it is starbuzz or nakhla flavored mollasses tobacco

it gives us hookah smokers a bad image ya feel???

Wow! I go into my hydro shop and it reeks of weed. We even smoke out the back. Couple of shops got fines for selling clones to customers but what can you do?

in Virginia even one lousy plant will get you 5 years in the gulag

pisses me off when i live in the first medical state yet i cant even get MMJ cuz the feds are protecting there own turf

when its legal in Virginia im going to the DEA or FBI head quarters and lighting a HUGE ass backwoods might even "litter" a few seeds out front

Who needs a shotty when you have mad pistol skills.
Ok you've made it back into my good graces. Plus today has been a very lovey dovey day since pinny started the hug thread so here you go friend :hug:

Fuck it, talk shit, get kicked out, but just don't shoot anyone in the FACE unless they really deserve it

Honestly, I was baiting you after that 7 to 3.

But I accept your apology anyway.

Freedom of Speech might work best when paired with intelligence but it is afforded too all in the US dumb and smart as a Constitutional Right. Someone Dumb might not know all their rights so naturally they can be taken advantage of or convinced they don't have a right when they do. I see it all day, posted on Facebook, cops bullying people out of their rights.
You say its not a freedom of speech issue if it was we'd be locked up. We don't get locked up in the US for exercising our Constitutional Rights. Not legally anyway..
You are right about the way they have to run their business to stay open but its because some dumbass in government other than the shop owner said it has to be that way or we'll shut you down. Which is what my post is about.
And if you lived in the US, you would know you don't take Constitutional Rights issues to city hall.
Or maybe you do and don't know your rights.

Thank you for your opinion.

I think it might have been a little the "Don't be a dumbass." ... And a lot the steroids I just started taking today for an upper respiratory infection. Steroids got me feeling like the hulk with PMS..

The First Amendment was never freedom of consequence from the content of your speech, nor free from abridgement for venue et al. For example a petulant teen having a temper tantrum in class, can be removed even while quoting his First Amendment rights.
