    Correct me if I’m wrong but are you pretending you don’t know the war on drugs to be utter bullshit that’s damaging society?

      The war on drugs is bullshit, but the fact is that the US government still considers it a schedule 1 drug. My point is that they shouldn’t be able to tax it while still pretending that it should be illegal.

        Well no the hypocrisy shouldn’t exist, that I agree with.

        But I’d rather have taxation from cannabis while enduring the annoying hypocrisy rather than not have taxed cannabis and still listen to the hypocrisy.

        The legal situation in the US is kinda weird. You can go to a legal shop to buy legal weed and when you walk out a federal agent might arrest you.
