    In Switzerland, we might make a popular initiative (which is basically the only way to communicate with the government and to change the laws and reglementation for the people living here) to legalise it as well, and this video is really helpful, because it shows that it definitely works and has way more good sides than bad sides ! πŸ™‚
    This video was great and really informative, thank you very much !

    Hopefully, more people we see how legalizing cannabis actually does more good than bad. "Legalization is a better solution than the old system was." 100% right there.

    bro this needs more views

    First and foremost it’s the plant itself that needs to be legalized, or else the government will dilute and fuck it up.

    Excellent! Informative.
