Yea I think that is a misconception we need to fix if we want things to take off. As much as I don't like it, a CBDC or BTC ETF is likely to make people see it more as something legal. But you never know since it took a while for cannabis to change its perspective.

It's still illegal in Sweden.. :P

In Panama despite the fact that it is a country with a lot of drug traffic, cannabis is still illegal

i thought they were one of the major exporters of weed or so. maybe I got my facts wrong

Same here in Brazil...
We have a huge war on drugs that's going nowhere but cannabis is still illegal, despite all the economic potential it has, not to mention other benefits.

As long as the economic interest of a few at the top or better said in the government continues to exist, they will keep it that way just as they do here
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just terming something as illegal doesn't stop it from being used.people just find new ways to use it , it's better for government to regulate it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
here I doubt they will legalize it due to various socioeconomic factors
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True. Too bad the government here is heavily influenced by religious parties that are against the use of some substances as cannabis.
That's not the only reason, of course, but I believe it's a strong one. In the end is all about power and the votes of the "churches" are very important around here.

It is actually illegal here in the United States.
Some states are starting to allow it but the Federal Government says it is illegal. Hence why cannabis companies have a tough time getting bank accounts since that all comes under the Feds control.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
and I think they will not allow it at least for now, it is still a very lucrative business as long as the restrictions are maintained, the fact that it is difficult to get drugs into the country that is what creates the high supply, since if we see the statistics the demand is made.

Same in India lol.

Its starting to gain traction here in the US. Most people just aren't against it anymore and people lives should not have to be ruined for just smoking it (as long as they do it safely). Not to mention, I think its great as tax revenue (less burden on the rest of us).

Greetings friend I hope you are well, I think it was always a plan to keep it illegally if you go over the old restrictions, cannabis was considered more harmful than cacaina, they demonized it with a single purpose, to continue suppressing the population of color, remember that in that era was consumed mostly by people of color and especially Jazz lovers who affectionately called it Jargon, in great Jazz pieces you will hear that word and you will already know what it means, one thing leads to another and that is why we see a gap of inequality almost 200 years apart, the numbers are round and the statistics are available to everyone.

I am doing well. Yes some things just don't make sense and its mainly because it is painted in a negative light.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Do you need a certificate to prove you are allowed to smoke it? How will someone verify whether you are doing it for health reasons or not.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't know how it works in all parts of the world but in some places, you do get some sort of "credentials" stating that you need it for medicinal reasons.
In other places, I think you just need a prescription by a licensed doctor
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think so but if you are taking it medically, you may need so. I guess it would come with some Doctor's note. Legalizing it is better because they can get taxes, ensure quality and people can consume it without fear of going to jail.

LOL well 4/20 makes it a timely topic.
It is an industry, though, that came a long way in the last 5 years.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It took a long while for cannabis and it is still illegal according to the Feds.
So there is that part to it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's really funny as well that cannabis is considered a schedule 1 substance, meaning there is no legitimate medical use for it.. while cocaine is a schedule 2 and is able to be prescribed for medical use.
Morphine/oxy is heroine, which is opium, which is fine to prescribe even though it’s highly addictive.
Nicotine is A-OK to be sold over the counter. Fuck this government!
Yea, I find that really messed up as well. I have more than one friend that's using cannabis-derived medication and the results have been a million times better than all the other treatments they tried before.
Unfortunately, because of this bullshit, it's very hard for them to find it and they have to pay a really high price for it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree. A bunch of senseless bastards, all of them.
It is time we all started to opt out as much as we can.
I hope the stoners fight back with everything they have and crypto helps the industry to become enormous and they all avoid paying taxes. LOL

May I pitch in and repeat - Fuck this government!
Weed & Crypto - A pathbreaking combo. :') Happy Economy.

Or at least one that is too stoned to notice that the economy sucks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LMAO! A little weed will get the economy high or crypto will.
I remember in 2017 seeing the rise of many cryptocurrencies related to cannabis, I even believe I have seen a game based on cannabis and they use the Hive chain, the presale was overwhelming but if I am not mistaken after having spent more than two months even the game is not released, hopefully those guys don't lose their money!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Weedcash. That is something that @jfang003 seems to be following.
In 2017 there seemed to be a crypto for everything. Unfortunately, most of it never panned out.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have heard that but it is another called https://www.hashkings.app/, even one of its creators has a small tribe about music here in Hive, now they are sold as the most solid team that exists to help others create their own tribe in Hive, the way they charge is varied since it can be in $ in tokens or in%! The guys are creative but apparently they don't know how to distribute their time well and they already have some users who bought the presale a little upset!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Or opt in, opting out only makes you a target. Change can only happen from with in. You'd find alot of people agree with your stances and views. It's about representative democracy
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Me too!
I invested in some cannabis business so it would be great in more than one way if the industry gets huge!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
now you know why people these days are averse to government control and regulations. it is silly in so many ways. they ban things they don't understand and push things that fill their pockets.
lol fuck them all!

Yea.. fuck the corporatists, and crony-capitalists. God damnit! I would have loved to be a "patriot" and server/defend my country.. but this whole idea of patriotism to any country falls apart when you take a wide angle view and realize that they are all working together.
I was just talking about this in the comment above, it was about racism

Those ravenous wolves are one of the main traffickers, only licensed.

There are great changes in even states such as NY about it. In fact, I think the reason why we had record turn out in some states is precisely because weed was on the ballot. There are too many people who just didn't care about voting but if its for what they want to do, they will.
