  • Nothing about them are “left” or “progressive”. To me, they’re worse than MAGA shitheads.

    I’ve been for the legalisation of weed since like 2006 and I still get creeped out by people who are like “well at least weed is legal in North Korea”.

    Like bitch please there’s no dank dank enough to compensate for even a miniscule portion of the shit that goes on in NK.

    Not to mention the punishment for breaking a law of that level where I live is a fine.


















  • Yeah, because it’s not about what you say, it’s about how you say it. Or in this case, what you don’t say. Mainly that in comparison to alcohol these risks are ridiculously low, and we still deem alcohol to be acceptable in society.

    So if this post and the “truth” in it is to be believed, the implication is that the war on drugs is good because it would seek to lower the usage of these implicitly risky substances.

    But alcohol is more risky, we tried banning it as well, but had to stop because prohibition creates far more issues than it solves. In the case of alcohol it was so bad it became clear in a matter of a few years that society won’t survive it.

    With less risky and less uses substances, the prohibition is still making things worse, but not as apparently, so there’s not as much pressure politically to fix it.
