What a coincidence! About 50% of drug arrests in America are cannabis related: ACLU

Insane. The good news is that data you shared was from 2010, and we've been in a steady decline since. Down to 40% in 2018 (Pew). And according to the NCDAS in 2020, "over the last decade, arrests made for the possession of marijuana have dropped by 58%."

What happened in 2019 that made the number tank so fast?

I want to try mushrooms. If anyone in Montana can help me with that let me know.

Yo dog just grow em. Super easy and you can order spores legally online.

I was going to, but I don't have the best place for that and everyone wants Bitcoin.

[–] PutangInaMo 2 points 1 year ago

It's been a while since I bought some but bitcoin really? Lol that sucks. I wouldn't trust a bunch of crypto bros to send me the right spores honestly.

Nuh uh, check out Myyco. There are a 501c non-profit that donates to mushroom research.

The c/shrooms community just got booted from lemmy.world and moved to sh.itjust.works, but you could try asking there as well?

Wait until you find out about Home Depot allowing rapes of underaged girls. Montana is literally the pedo state.

I think more people might be ready to admit it, because it becomes more and more acceptable.

Wonder what new non-crime the prison industrial complex will invent to refill the prisons after they can’t arrest people for weed.
