Mexico is on its way! We have three candidates for our upcoming elections this summer. The two women candidates, Sheinbaum and Gálvez, have participated in public debates favoring lenient regularization, and Álvarez has spoken publicly about full legalization.
Claudia Sheinbaum is leading the race, so not only will we most likely get our first woman president, but legal weed as well!
It better be Greenland or I’ll be disappointed
The West has lost the ‘war on drugs’, whatever that means.
The only way out is to regulate (and therefore tax) them. Cannabis is the gateway drug (pun intended).
I’m old and tried something mild ish when I young. It didn’t really do much for me so I never went down that path. I don’t even drink more than a unit a fortnight, usually I’m driving and I only drink socially. Just don’t fancy it much anymore.
As far as I’m concerned, the benefits of living today are mainly being funneled to an elite. Taxes were mostly levied on companies and have become taxes levied on the individual, with companies not really paying tax at all. People are struggling to hold it together. Drugs represent escapism pending some kind of revolution.
I’m one of ‘Thatcher’s children’ - A Gen X watching young people today giving up. If you had told me last century that I would have written such a thing today, I would have punched you.
I believe that the move left of the politics of today represents the population asking for help.
Germany legalised it last months so I would expect some of the neighbouring countries to follow suit soon.
Germany did not legalise. It got decriminalise to a very Limited extend.
E.g. the “Bundesgerichtshof” ruled a few days ago that 7.5 g of pure THC is a “nicht geringe Menge” which means 3 months Minimum. Which means that If you have 50 g of Hash with 40% THC you already have 20 g of pure THC. The CannG explicitly states that having 50 g of Hash at Home is legal. Lets See how that plays Out.
Definitely not the UK, unfortunately.
No we just grow it so prone ministers can benefit
I’m going with Denmark or Norway
Hopefully none
What’s wrong with a government deciding to regulate and tax a previously illegal substance that is less harmful than many legal drugs at the moment, thus reducing revenue streams for cartels and gangs along with getting more money that the government can use?
Because it’s still harmful, and we should be making the drugs that are even more harmful illegal
Ok Nancy Reagan
i cant wait to pay even more taxes :)
