How many societies would have made marijuana illegal had the US not done so first and then forced the rest of the world’s hand?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoNot convinced. Look at Singapore. I doubt they would care what the US does. Anyway, after the US legalizes everything for “freedom”, I’m not sure that many countries will follow suit.
- hydrok9 3y agoYou're wrong about that. Every non-theocratic/ hyper-conservative country will legalize it sooner or later
- mensetmanusman 3y agoHmm, the non theocratic countries like China represent the majority and I’m not sure they will do that…
- hydrok9 3y agoChina may as well be considered hyper-conservative in drug policy.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoI believe it’s left wing authoritarianism. The government said it was bad, so everyone back the party line.
- hydrok9 3y agoYes and they are very conservative in many social policies, including drugs (conservative = maintaining ("conserving") the status quo).
- mensetmanusman 3y agoSure if you define conservatives to mean authoritarian leftists who want to conserve their rules and laws, I agree:
- hydrok9 3y agoNice snarky bad-faith response. It's obviously not what I said. I hope you get better at dealing with people who threaten your sense of superiority.
