I’m glad they care about their soldiers this much
If they cared about their citizens (as well as their soldiers) they wouldn't have criminalized it in the first place.
And that goes for every other country on the planet, too.
How many people in their legislature now do you suppose were around when it was criminalized?
Was it the same institutions that criminalized it or wasn't it?
what a bad take
No, it isn't - unless you want to believe the Ukrainian political establishment had any justification to criminalize marijuana before the war.
Do tell... will they be paying reparations to all the Ukrainians they've victimized due to this unjustified criminalization in the decades before they essentially admitted that they robbed the people they (supposedly) "represent" of a valuable therapeutic resource?
Only a fucking liberal will celebrate marijuana decrim while conveniently forgetting that the people who decrimmed it are the same kind of political racketeers that criminalized it in the first place.
it is a bad take
No. It's not.
If you want to lick a politician's boots because they (supposedly) "fixed" a problem they and their ilk created in the first place, be my guest.
Don't expect us non-bootlickers to join you, though.
Not one person seems to agree with you.
It's a bad take. Shut up lmfao
Ooooh... the liberal hive-mind doesn't like me pointing out that they are just as prone to authoritarian bootlicking as the conservatives they pretend they are so different to?
Oh no! Anyway...
No. It isn't. Does expensive shoe polish taste better than the cheap kind?
LMFAO it's a terrible take you snowflake shut up
Prove it. Prove that criminalizing marijuana was ever justified.
Should be easy for a big brain like yours.
I don't have to? Its so funny how you're struggling to get this.
It's just a bad faith argument. You're just wrong and so angry about it like shut up dude. They decriminalized it, that's that.
Stop being a chud.
