Popular Post Sujo Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 I dont use it but cannot understand how you can be jailed for using it. Treat it like alcohol. Btw, making it legal doesnt mean you have to use it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have spiritual, community and cultural life that keeps them occupied. Young people are not getting into drugs and alcohol. So that is something western countries need to learn. Hahaha... there is a reason why one of the two strains of ganga is scientifically named "Indica"... its use is probably what birthed what you laud as the sub-continent's spirituality, culture and culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a whole country drunk and stoned and nobody realized what is really wrong. When did this start? You think life used to be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are not getting into clothing, food, housing, or jobs either. Maybe it's a priority thing? Many countries have spiritual, cultural, community too.

jingjai9 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I would like to know just what turned the tide to bring about this vote in Congress. Why now? Is decriminalization a reaction to mass incarceration or is it pressure from lobbyists now that a few states have legalized marijuana for medicinal or recreational uses? As stated in the article, as long as cannibas is illegal at the federal level it restricts banking services. Is it the evangelical lobbyists that keep the Republicans opposed to decriminalization? The US has built itself upon a foundation of corruption since the ruling on the Citizens United case as well as the revolving door which sits on this foundation that connects Congress and cabinet appointments with Wall Street.
