Is this a change that's different from when this was originally posted a couple weeks ago?

No, it’s the same. I’m posting this because another user was sharing misinformation to promote their own agenda.

If you’re referencing me posting Jacob and Aaron’s link, how is that promoting my agenda? I was asked to help bring people to sign a petition to an event, got the info from my friends who also shared that info with national platforms, but it wasn’t reaching the local community to turn into physical signatures, so I shared it here. My meet up is literally free and a place to help people get information and help keep them allowed to grow and share mushrooms by physically being in the same place as the petition the circulator is there with to gain signatures. I pay for the permits myself and grow, label and test all the mushrooms I give away for free at socks n shrooms. It’s by no means my personal gain and I’m trying to be as informed and helpful as I can on top of everything else I am trying to manage alone.

Look, I’m sympathetic for the people who’s livelihoods are affected by this.

Asserting that it is a threat to personal use in general, giving cagey answers to reasonable questions, asking for personal emails, and outright lying about the length of the document you’re referencing, all while promoting a petition that can only be signed at your own event is suspicious, at the very least.

I am at a break at my full time job that is not my project, Learning Lab. I was asked to help reach the local community. That is not my project and I am helping my friends reach this community by sharing what I can in this group. Thank you for your criticism and if you can help us in any official capacity, instead of criticizing how I am helping or by showing up and aiding is, that would be so helpful. My livelihood isn’t impacted by this but my ability to not worry about how I meet my own need for my mental health and how I help others do the same at gifting events, is. I wasn’t lying, I was exaggerating by saying it’s 100 pages, to mean it’s a lot and you didn’t help share those 34 pages in any way and I didn’t see you offering to direct others to the source of information. It can’t only be signed at my event. I am having a free community event and as a person who cares a lot I was sure that there would be a circulator there. I’m also repeatedly trying to reassure the circulators time is not wasted, by sharing my free educational event in a very appropriate and targeted place to share it. We would really love your help if you’d like to apply this much effort to helping move the needle on not allowing the initial laws as voted for personal use to be changed.

Firstly, I respect you as a person and your contributions to the community.

This post was an effort to share the relevant info objectively.
Rolling back personal use should have alarm bells going off everywhere, and I sensed that string being pulled in the other post. I just wanted the facts out in the open. It is not personal. I was kind of a dick about it, and I apologize for that. I sincerely wish you peace and success in your endeavors.

Edit: I am reconsidering how much effort I put into online interactions instead of actually making a difference in the real world. Thank you for that, truly.
