RE: How Cannabis Prohibition Destroyed my Family

in #threespeak4 years ago

It sounds like your toxic family destroyed each other, not that cannabis prohibition destroyed it. Not that I am for prohibition. Aren't the pot laws very lax in Canada, especially BC?

Sort:  

Yes, they used cannabis prohibition as a weapon against my wife and I, but had it not existed, they likely would have used something else to do it. I think cannabis prohibition allows many other evils to happen, like systemic racism (the bad cannabis laws tend to be applied to certain ethnicities more than others). And like giving police a way in to your house or car, so they can look for something more serious to bust you for. But yes, in the case of my family, it could have been some other unjust law (or circumstance) used against me.

But no, prohibition has not ended, and in fact is far harsher under "legalization" than it was pre-2018. More people going to jail, for lesser "crimes", for longer sentences. We got tricked, and now they're using the same "legalization" tactic all across the world, claiming it was such a success in Canada. I'm an activist fighting prohibition on the grassroots level, on the front lines, and I made a documentary on the subject called Legalization is a Lie if you've got 45 minutes sometime.

Thanks for your comment. Looks like it was your first? Welcome to the blockchain :)
