Legalisiere es

🧙‍♂️🥬🔥🌬👍

Alcohol makes people aggressive and dumb, I have met countless people who are fine sober but become animals when drinking, even disregarding alcoholics

I have met the biggest potheads ever and they are a joy to be around, it brings out good in most people

Weed makes you sleepy, creative, or enhances the current mood, but even at my most depressive, weed lowers my anxiety and opens up pathways of creative thinking

It won’t make me do stupid things like alcohol usually does

Personally the biggest damage it does to me is the raiding of the fridge and a drop in productivity

I have circumvented this by cooking something slightly complicated when I am high, that way, I am still somewhat productive while eating healthier

It makes zero sense to have alcohol legal, which statistically kills more people than any other legal drug, and to have weed users persecuted

Edit:

You guys misunderstand me

I do not advocate to smoke weed and disregard your personal lives

It’s just that compared to daily alcohol and chain smoking regular cigarettes, I find a weekly cannabis intake as a better alternative

It is a drug like any other

The problem is how demonized it is, especially comparing it to alcohol, which brings out the worst in most people, while destroying lives at a much more alarming rate, even without counting traffic accidents

Personally, I find sugar and coffee much more addictive

I’m all for legalising weed, but in Cyprus? Majority of people already drink drive and no one in this country can drive, period. Imagine throwing weed in the mix.. not sure about that.

With the influence of church, most probably never 😅

No thank you. It smells so bad and has ruined so many popular places because of its terrible stench. Plus when you smoke it in public, you look like a total bellend.

Οur tourism sector is already trash. This is not the kind of tourists we need more off.

Bro honestly, i do not even know what legalization would entail. I see this plastered everywhere, people rooting for this to be decriminalized. Not even in theory does legalization paint an accurate picture of how this substance should be treated, and nobody ever made the effort to explain it.

Like, say this thing is now legal, what laws would be in place for its use? Alcohol is legal, so is coffee, one you can consume and work/drive or consume a lot in public, the other you cannot. Where would weed land in that regard?

Id say a solid 7/10 potheads i know in cy are str8 up deny the FACT that you can get addicted on weed and have withdrawals from it. This is a drug that is proven to affect your cns as well as the behavior forming and reward associating parts of your brain.

Just because the drug itself is not addictive like say nicotine, doesn’t mean the state of mind it induces, or the behavioral changes it introduces in someone’s life are a welcome and completely safe addition.

I know people who straight up CANNOT operate/function off that thing. What happens to these people in case of legalization? What measures are taken to protect them from themselves?

Under the wrong setting or dosage, it could induce psychosis, paranoia, time dilation.

Can you imagine the horror of Cypriot BMW & Mercedes drivers going at 180km/h on a Thursday afternoon cause they forgot how to stop the car? Hell, they can barely operate the thing when they’re sober.

There are a million billion other issues to tackle, like distribution, industrial planting and cultivation, importing/exporting, proper laws so the farmers don’t get fucked by our shitty agricultural department on this one too, etc etc.
Nobody ever proposed actual plans for this, at least in any place where it mattered and got attention.

Like, if we want actual legalization of this substance, perhaps it’s time we stopped going “Legalize it” and actually went “perhaps legalize it in x,y,z way”.

nah but at this point legalize it, so many people have it and do it
