We can clearly see that Tulsi Gabbard is another stooge for Putin. We need to root out these traitors and find some way to either put them away or expose them. (How about Gillibrand?)

Overlap maybe a little bit... Per Google: Freethinker: a person who rejects accepted opinions, especially those concerning religious belief. Deist: belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe. The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries that accepted the existence of a creator on the basis of reason but rejected belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind.

racocn8 comments on Feb 19, 2022:

Twelve years ago, I discovered that all the indica strains had been compromised. The literature claimed that Indica contained CBD rather than THC, and perhaps, way back when, that was true. However, all the strains I tested contained mostly THC, and at best, a few percent of CBD. My findings were relayed to an organization of growers and gave birth to the 'CBD Project'. The growers knew that CBD had value and undertook to recreate strains that mainly produced CBD. This effort was mostly abandoned when they found they could get all the CBD they wanted from Hemp. Even now, it is unlikely that so-called Indica strains have much CBD in them. Good dispensaries should have certificates of analysis to tell you the actual breakdown. Also, hemp cigarettes are available which have less than 0.3 % THC.

Soviet officials drove these peasants off their farms by force...
