Honestly, I kind of think my country (France) forbids weed today because of all the bullshit of the Reagan era and it's pretty infuriating.
Their depiction of weed as some super dangerous class 3000 hardcore drug ended up as some kind of standard for most of the developed countries.
It sucks.
Especially when it has medicinal applications.
It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.
Smoking weed will make you... DUTCH!
A fate worse than death
considering how much French society despises US policy, I'm kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.
It's just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn't easily get you killed.
I'm also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it's worth.
I had a similar experience with my poppy field ringed with gympie gympie.
I'm all for legalisation, and I'm a regular user, but the fact that it's a plant has always struck me as a weak argument. We can do better.
It's one tier better than "It's natural!" (So are asbestos, arsenic, and anthrax.)
