Yea a lot people commenting don’t remember that Ukraine already went through this.

While it’s not the entire story, there is a documentary about how they were fighting for their freedom (and won) in 2015.

What started as a protest led to a full on revolution.

Winter on fire: Ukraines fight for freedom

Guess it’s free on YouTube now.

Hmm I suppose the trade off between a proxy war of Russia/Israel and Russia/NATO becomes moot once NATO actually gets involved (new as of the past few months).

They decriminalized possession, but kept the punishments for distribution. So drug quality will remain the same, similar number of people will likely use (if not slightly more that just feared the penalties), cops will return drugs to people rather than confiscating them, and the number of deaths will drop?! What?

If you're gonna decriminalize it, at least provide a safe source for it??

It's mostly Iranian trolls astroturfing reddit.

If you look at some users posting here about the US and see their comment history, you'll see every post is about the US or UK ...but the threads they're posting in are about Iran or Russia.

And given reddit's culture hatred for Americans, everyone eats it up.
