pretty fucked, can't wait to see if Sleepy Joe can pull off a prisoner swap while tens of thousands of Black Americans rot in prison for weed possession

      People obviously shouldn’t be imprisoned for marijuana regardless of anyone’s “western weed-smoking lifestyle”.

          So you support these types of draconian anti-drug laws? I can understand why they exist, but it doesn't make them right.

                Other countries are allowed to choose their laws.

                Why would I complain about something I can't influence, or at least can't influence without feeding into imperialist normalcy?

                  So you're taking the anti-imperialist position of [checks notes] supporting the death penalty for marijuana possession

                  We're on an explicitly radical and anti-imperialist website, nothing here has a 'normalising' effect.

                    Oh okay. If you're "anti-imperialist" then you can never be imperialist. Just like all those people who say they're anti-imperialist and want Ukraine to destroy Russia with the help of EU and the US.

                    Glad you're so sure of yourself because that can never have an effect on susceptibility.

      :downbear:

      I'm actually going to say that any country that thinks it's okay to lock people up for marijuana should change its drug laws. It's a needlessly cruel punishment for a victimless crime and even if you want to argue that drugs are bad for society, it's not like people aren't still getting legally drunk.

                Nothing, because I don't live there. Doesn't mean I can't think they're bad lol. I don't live in the USA but I also think their policies are dumb, despite not really being able to do anything about it.

      I don't know what to tell you. A lot of people here like weed, there's nothing particularly western about it. Or at least western in a sense Russia isn't western.

      :I-was-saying: I think that Russia (likely thousands of miles away) should change its drug laws to best suit my Western weed-smoking lifestyle
