    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.
