If someone invented the devils piss today. It would be illegal before the morning. It says a lot about our society when one of the most useful plants on the planet is demonized. While a violence inducing, organ killing liquid is sold on most street corners.

As for the USA, they imposed their "reefer madness, anti weed" propaganda across the world. Creating criminalization in places where the weed plant was respected and used as a medicine, Now they have legalized marijuana and started it's gentrification.

Sort:  

Alcohol consumed in moderation is no bad thing. It says a lot about you when you use the same language of the drug prohibitionists of today and the alcohol prohibitionists of yesteryear. Government is always the enemy, especially when they paternalistically deem us infantile subjects to be punished for "our own good" should we choose an unapproved vice.
