When blogs started dying out, the comments sections became appended with random spam bot posts. This is now happening to this website, only here it's a real person who pays $$ a day to make random spam posts

In addition little Luxembourg passed legalisation last summer. We'll see what happens in April.

Last year I visited Japan, and here's my weed-related experience:

-My bag got extra super searched every single time I went through security, which was a total of 4 times, because I've had vape cartridges leak in the pockets before, and I sat there placidly smiling because I went through every pocket, fold, and crevice to make sure there was absolutely nothing in there. They see me rollin', they hatin'...

-Picture this: it's a beautiful February day, you have a chronic pain condition, and you've been hauling 70lbs of luggage up and down station stairs all day. Your feet have blisters on top of blisters. You are having the time of your life but all this pain is putting a damper on your fun. You stumble into the Shinjuku Mega Don Quixote and look left, and see the magic letters C B D. Buddy I slapped down ¥2000 before I even saw that they had a selection, but that little vape was at least a placebo and at best took enough of the edge off that I could deal.

So I think there's hope for Japan in the next 40-50 years, especially with an aging population that may prefer herbal remedies to pharmaceuticals (so far as I could tell; lots of caffeine everywhere to self-medicate any ADHD, all the drug stores had a whole cooler or half-height shelving full of questionable dark-colored bottles). As the United States continues to flip without the DEA-promised social cataclysm, other countries are definitely taking note. I'd say sooner, but this is Japan, after all.

So far the legalisation in Germany hasn't made much of an impact over here. Currently the Maltese still social clubs aren't legal until July, maybe that will increase visibility and strengthen pressure. But then again the Portuguese decrim model has recieved universal praise for tackling drug social issues and that stubbornly hasn't moved the needle. Well Scotland pushed for it but cave in pretty quickly when the UK gov said it wouldn't co-operate so that might have been an attempt to inflame indepence sentiment. I hope not since Scotland and other parts really need to do something to change the way we deal with drugs. So, does Ireland North and South.
