Weed is such a harmless little bullshit drug to be so ridiculously over-the-top hyper criminalized in some countries like bruh.

Weed is gonna ruin your life because if you have it on your person imma sens you to prison for 30 fucking years and ruin your life.

It does not. Make. Sense.

Outlawing cannabis products was essentially an exercise in deliberate systemic racism in the US. (Nixon).

Unsure about the rest of the world.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 52 points 6 days ago (1 children)

IIRC the US heavily pressured other countries with tariffs to also ban it

India here, colonial penal code outlawed it but we're too prudish to change it after independence

It goes farther back than that. DuPont and Hurst had a hand in making cannabis look bad.

I thought it was about paper prices?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Yep, William Randolph Hearst fucked everything over for his textile businesses long before Nixon, but it is true that racism played a big factor, namely beginning to refer to it as marijuana instead of cannabis and linking that to those pesky Latinos

Making cocaine illegal was for black people. Weed was for the hippies.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Oh yeah. To suppress the anti (Vietnam) war protests.

Meanwhile alcohol, one of the most harmful substances, is being consumed like water 😐

It makes sense if you recognize it as an excuse to harass black and Latino people

β€’And hippies β€’And folks against the war β€’And a way to fill for-profit prisons β€’And a way to control where/how people live β€’And a way to make cotton plantations make more β€’And a way to prohibit something since alcohol bans didn’t work out

I did it all day every day for 12 years, then quit and went back to work like nothing happened. Try that with any other drug

Yuuup. Had the opportunity to move to Singapore about a decade ago... NOPE. Great place to visit. Amazing people and food. No weed. Don't even think about it.

It's not really because of weed itself, a lot of countries in East Asia have very strict drug laws. Historically it ties into the boxer rebellion and the way the West used opium to control China.

They were ambassadors for airport customs at Incheon, and in this scene, they were being shown contraband found in passengers’ luggage.

I choose to think the 2 girls on her arms are holding her back from taking it and running. πŸ˜‚

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 15 points 6 days ago

I mean, the look on her face says it all.

Silly girl, bring LSD for international flights. It's odorless, tasteless, and you can being a shitload on a piece of blotter paper that looks like it's being used as a bookmark

[–] NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just to be clear, you probably don't want to take it during the flight.

Welcome to South Korea! We're the best Korea since we have weed and no generational concentration camps!

[–] MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Wait, wait, wait, you have weed in south Korea????????

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 54 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Weed is super duper illegal in SK, they've increased the number of weed related arrests year over year. There was even a huge crackdown at the end of last year.

[–] MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I was gonna say, that flies in the face of like everything I've heard about Korea, haha.
