I really hope the German legalisation will be a success. I’m not personally a user, but I’m tired of gangs being financed by cannabis being illegal, and violence escalating over control of an illegal market.
I am so tired of hearing of police idiocy, that cannabis is widespread in criminal environments. That’s simply the most incredibly stupid thing that deserves a kick in the balls for pushing such idiocy, when cannabis being illegal is the reason those environments are considered criminal in the first place!
This whole shitshow was always just the result of right wing propaganda anyways, particularly that Cannabis was popular among emigrants and the peace movement, made it a prime target for Nixon to criminalize, which basically criminalized 2 big groups that were extremely hated by the right.
This tendency was then exported to most of the world, where USA in secret threatened trade restrictions if we didn’t outlaw cannabis.
Why it remained so popular despite being illegal IDK? But it seems to me the lesser harm is to legalize it, in a controlled manner. Which is exactly what Germany and other countries are doing, even USA that may have been a major reason for it being illegal almost world wide.
