Why politics on a weed forum?

Politics is stressful and weed (growing and smoking) imo is to relax and feel better. Smoking helps my ulcerative colitis and stress makes me have worse symptoms. I come to this forum to keep a grow journal and look at other people's grows which is relaxing. I understand there is international conflict as well as political unrest here in the US and issues can't be ignored forever but why mix it with weed except smoking to forget about it for a bit? I'm not saying a weed site shouldn't have a politics section. I am just curious why different people like to talk politics on a weed site?

Do you have difficulty understanding other people's motivations a lot?

I come to the politics section because I like to read stupid posts from stupid people. It makes me feel smart.

Thank you for your service.

Because otherwise you would be minding your own business looking at weed porn.

And then BAM! Some propaganda troll would be spamming paid political content that some hate monger is paying them to brainwash people into believing the stupid 'people are saying' nonsense. Because hey, @randomaccountonline said it, and they have sweet looking buds and their leaves don't look like total shit, so they must totally be a real person who I would like to know in real life! And if they are saying it, and now someone IRL is talking about whatever talking point the Republicans want birthed, so a person would feel more comfy regurgitating the programmed messaging. Which may or may not be in agreement with the other person, and might just end up with people arguing and slipping into the trolling language that inevitably ends up with either a 'they both suck' or a fight that causes any actual conversation to end.

At least with a political section you can just ignore the content, and anytime someone starts going off about politics, people can call bullshit and tell them to keep it in here so you don't have to see it if you don't want.
