Weed is such a harmless little bullshit drug to be so ridiculously over-the-top hyper criminalized in some countries like bruh.
Weed is gonna ruin your life because if you have it on your person imma sens you to prison for 30 fucking years and ruin your life.
It does not. Make. Sense.
Outlawing cannabis products was essentially an exercise in deliberate systemic racism in the US. (Nixon).
Unsure about the rest of the world.
IIRC the US heavily pressured other countries with tariffs to also ban it
It goes farther back than that. DuPont and Hurst had a hand in making cannabis look bad.
And hemp makes for a garbage printing medium anyway
Making cocaine illegal was for black people. Weed was for the hippies.
Oh yeah. To suppress the anti (Vietnam) war protests.
Yup. The goal was to make both groups felons to prevent them from voting.
India here, colonial penal code outlawed it but we're too prudish to change it after independence
Meanwhile alcohol, one of the most harmful substances, is being consumed like water 😐
Ew, who drinks water?
It's the dudes with the bud light cans.
Delicious, masterfully distilled, barrel aged, water of life 👉😉👉🥃
The only issue I have with weed, and most other drugs, is that you can't easily test for them in a person's system, meaning that you can't know if someone's driving under the influence. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if not for the fact that we have have such a car centric society. I don't like people endangering other people just for a buzz.
Imagine being so car brained that you base personal freedom around it
I don't think this is "car brained". They're not saying anything around public transit, just that we need to have a test for DWI and weed. People shouldn't be jailed for 30 years regardless of the presence of the test or not, but we do still need some other test. Otherwise I guarantee that "don't drive while baked" will be the next infomercial you see in a few years.
I honestly ......... for calling me "car brained". That insult hurt me more than any other I've received. I want to protect pedestrians and cyclists from people driving cars under the influence. I want to limit driving people's freedom to make life better for everyone.
That's honestly a very odd reaction, for what it's worth I meant it lightheartedly.
Of course I think pedestrians and cyclists also deserve safety.
I would like to point out however that a majority of incidents are drunk drivers who do not already have a device like that in their car, so it's a tad bit absurd to indicate your hard line for legalization is that when it would only apply after the fact anyway.
Sorry, that was too rude, I just got really upset... It's odd, I've never really gotten angry at internet comments until now.
I just wanted to point out my single issue with weed, which is more an issue with car centric infrastructure.
You can easily test if they're in someone's system with a saliva test, so your argument doesn't make any sense.
Oh they don't really let it stop them over here, they just use whatever shitty system they have available and let you deal with the false positives and the fact it detects it for much longer than you are intoxicated.
I did it all day every day for 12 years, then quit and went back to work like nothing happened. Try that with any other drug
More context please.
They were ambassadors for airport customs at Incheon, and in this scene, they were being shown contraband found in passengers’ luggage.
I choose to think the 2 girls on her arms are holding her back from taking it and running. 😂
I mean, the look on her face says it all.
Silly girl, bring LSD for international flights. It's odorless, tasteless, and you can being a shitload on a piece of blotter paper that looks like it's being used as a bookmark
Just to be clear, you probably don't want to take it during the flight.
Speak for yourself
Blaze it
What is this? The Miss Incheon airport customs pageant?
"I would like to thank first of all my family, for all the weed!"
Welcome to South Korea! We're the best Korea since we have weed and no generational concentration camps!
Wait, wait, wait, you have weed in south Korea????????
Weed is super duper illegal in SK, they've increased the number of weed related arrests year over year. There was even a huge crackdown at the end of last year.
Allegedly it's sold like a spice in NK but honestly at this point I have no idea what to believe or not believe when I hear something about anything there. Which is probably intended but still lol
