I don't care, I'm used to insane taxes. I just want it to be legal.

I think Canada and Netherlands are the only other countries I would move to.

It's weird because Sweden is usually regarded as so much more "progressive" than America, but when it comes to drugs it's the opposite. Ah well, the world is a complicated place.

Now I'm not totally sure about this and I might be all wrong. But iirc the ban of weed came when Sweden started to get people moving here from other countries, musicians jazz folk and such, and the government thought they were just trouble especially with the weed so they banned it. Pretty much being anti immigrant whatever. Ever since then it's been highly illegal. I remember when I was in high school they had lectures about this stuff and I was brain washed about it too on how horrible weed is etc.

lol, sounds a lot like the history of prohibition in the US, e.g. "Reefer Madness"

It's so much better for me. I've been without it since September and I'm going back to my old shitty habits. And yeah you can argue that I should just be sober and such, but I think it's something that actually helps me with minimal side effects.

Yeah prohibition is BS. It's clearly beneficial for some people.

Shrooms might be legal in Oregon soon

Shitty deal. I can literally order it online from the provincial government.

But I still buy from friends.

It's risky for me to talk about it here. If I got caught somehow without the product, and I deny it they would just take look at the logs whatever like this admitting to it and I'd get punished. I'll prob not be able to get a job in health care at all.

California legalized it years ago. Not that there was ever any shortage in Los Angeles. You can walk down the street and never feel your face.
