    There’s only so much weed can really do for rampant nationalized fascism, war, poverty, injustice and an absolute lack of hope for the future. Can’t taking the edge off be… okay?

      no, thats escaping the machine of suffering. If you do that, you wont buy as much stuff, wont buy expensive therapies and medications and ultimately might not do something that lands you into private prison and create revenue through slave labour. And by keeping it illegal, they get excuse to imprison you anyway or at least take your money. And by keeping it illegal, they dont have to tax it which mean the rich can get all the profits themselves by being at the top of the pyramid.

      the rich cant do anything they want, evidently. otherwise they would have already done way worse than what has been done. They still need to keep us docile because we could make a difference if enough of us rose up against them.

      at least that is how i think the internal thought process goes for the ones who make the rules. Maybe there is less deliberate planning going on for real, but all they have to do is inherit the previous system and improve on it.

      I wish i could do hacking, then it might be possible to find at least some proof. Maybe its possible through gathering information out there and making logical detuctions and combining it, but i dont have the energy to do it anyway, especially since it would just drown in all the other information out there.
