Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction.

Alcoholic people are easier to control, manipulate, and blackmail. This is the reason why the Russian government pushes it so much. People there are brainwashed into thinking the more poison your body can drink without throwing up shows how strong you are. The government there uses alcohol to devolve the population into complete and utter submission at the expense of fertility rates, families, social cohesion, etc. Now the Russian government can invade countries with zero pushback from their citizenry. This is why people like this man want to replicate that in the US. Marijuana is an obstacle to that end goal. By eliminating healthier recreational substances as an option they force people into one they want everyone to be addicted to - Alcohol.

@monchichis333 Месяц назад

"Potential Dangers" the only potential danger is the government not being able to collect higher taxes on legal cannabis companies, cause once you take it out of the federal roster the prices will go down, and price per pound of Marijuana is also gonna go down. The California market is already saturated as the average is already $600-$700 a pound wholesale, but if you illegally sell those pounds in very restricted states in the eastcoast it can go higher than $3k-4k a pound. When you lift these restrictions, all prices on pounds will drop significantly, and you have politicians on the marijuana payout and they want to keep those prices high. Of course Biden lied about legalizing it in his presidency just to get votes.
