Coming out of hibernation for a THREAD on some reefer madness bullshit from the @ProJo LTE section. Who the eff is Joseph Santos & why do I care what he thinks? Sad part is, legislators will actually base policy on malarkey like this—-
Not surprised: @projo has run an LTE fm Joseph Santos of #PawtucketRI that is so full of falsehoods & ancient traditions of “reefer madness” that I just HAD 2 address it here. This is the LTE in question in photo-form, if u can’t make it past the paywall. providencejournal.com/opinio…
21/ For today, I need you to pressure @Fundly to cancel Tiny Toese's fundraiser to attend the Providence rally.
Tiny is using the money to come to Providence specifically to attack protesters.

This is further supported by points raised by @RegulateRI— Regulation LOWERS teen usage. Think of it this way: drug dealers have NO VESTED INTEREST in IDing their customers. Regulated biz owners MUST ID or else lose their license & livelihood. regulaterhodeisland.org/fact…
It’s not surprising that an anti-cannabis publication like @ProJo publishes such baseless reefer madness rhetoric. However, fact checks shld accompany these blatant lies & mistruths fm Mr. Santos. When it comes 2 policy & science, listen 2 pros— not fearmongerers like Santos.
So far the hottest topic at Democratic Candidates Forum... Should RI legalize marijuana (not an official topic, but denounced by my opponent) #speakmanforrep

This is Nicholas Mattiello. He actively works to subvert democracy against the will of the Rhode Island people. It is important to understand that even in a "blue" state like ours, reactionaries still wield power to achieve their far right goals.
1 - Hey @projo, the House Reform Caucus is working to make the House more transparent and institute changes that your editorial page has wanted for ages.
Today the page took a shot at the Reform Caucus by implying that the caucus condoned Rep. Elect's Ascencao's fraud.
What the hell, @RepCicilline? Do you really have to wait to see what your donors want you to do here? Support the #GreenNewDeal. You could be #23. That's almost close to being an actual LEADER. @OrganizeRI
