(36,004 posts)Sorry. I'm tired and probs not reading as well as I normally can. I know the reason why the US lags behind the rest of the world on just about everything worthwhile, and it's nothing to do with whether weed is legal or not. It's to do with how the society views themselves and feels a collective responsibility to each other. It's about a state where large corporations aren't regulated and are able to use workers as basically slave labour for short term gain, yet those workers are peddled propaganda that tell them that even though they don't earn enough to even put a roof over their heads and there's no parental leave, no annual leave, no universal healthcare, the US is far superior to socialist countries elsewhere.
I agree with you. There's so much shit to be done in the US that I wouldn't know where to start. But when I'm doing my to-do list of how to drag the US up to the standard of other countries, legalising weed's going to be down at about 20th position. It's not because it shouldn't happen or it's a bad thing, it's just because without a few other things happening first it's not going to happen at all....
