Why is the US so retarded when it comes to drugs, especially with soft drugs such as Weed
It's several things
most of the world is, tbh
Which drugs are we talking about, because they have different reasons for the way we treat them
tobacco and alcohol industries lobbied against weed at one point, iirc
didn't' help the image
heck, they probably still do
>people are fine with it
>bureaucrats are the only ones who get pissy

I see awful studies from both sides of the argument for soft drugs regularly
what's going on here? you guys talkin weed?
No.. we're not talking about chimpanzees
@Fitzydog soft drugs like Weed, which are heavily criminalised in the US... which is baffling
and asian countries will kill you for it
your point?
I'd like to imagine that the US is a more liberal and modern country to the asian ones
according to joe it's a capitalist conspiracy
@Capitán Alatriste Because blacks, the cotton industry, the tobacco industry, and pharmaceutical industry
and they are pretty modern
they're pretty conservative too
also criminality depends on state
Oh, and teetotaler busybodies
colorado is fine with the devil's lettuce
utah isn't
and there's a lot of bad science out there when it comes to cannabis
Overall it's a good thing for the world that the US is allowing studies to be done now
or soon
Most of such science has either been debunked or hasn't been proven yet, and remain as mere speculations
drugs are bad
There is a lot of bad science on the pro and con debate tbh
But tbh im fine with it. Americans are banned from canada for traffic violations.
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki you serious?
Yep
it's been "debunked" in the sense that most people who can read and understand a scientific paper, and understand certain elements of organic chemical and biological science, will be able to tell you that the research design of a lot of the studies are poor
DUIs will get you banned
fuck the leaves
they're still being circulated and even remade, regularly
there are a lot of interests involved
