It's just that in Europe, there are many countries that recognize the legality of citizens holding a certain amount of marijuana, such as the Netherlands, which is not only a haven for gangsters and pornography, but also a typical country for the legalization of marijuana. The United Kingdom, Germany and parts of the United States have also recognized the legal nature of cannabis.

In the Netherlands, for example, the government allowed the sale of marijuana in a limited form in 1976 because it believed that marijuana was not addictive and no more harmful than alcohol. The aim of this policy is to provide a managed outlet for people and to reduce their access to hard and soft drug dealers on the streets.

At first, people could legally own up to 30 grams of marijuana. Now, in the Netherlands, the law on drugs allows users to legally buy and possess five grams of marijuana or hemp juice, but it is illegal to possess excess amounts.

"Coffee shops" that are allowed to specialize in cannabis can sell no more than five grams of marijuana per person per day, but the purchaser needs to be 18 years old or older. Public smoking of marijuana is technically permitted, but not in crowded areas, only in "coffee shops", or in one's own home, and in a secluded corner of the park.

Eleven states in the U.S. had state laws legalizing marijuana, but after a three-year legal battle between Reich, California, and then-U.S. Attorney General Ashcroft in 2005, a federal court ruled that marijuana use was illegal.

Yellowstone has long seen news reports that a number of American sports celebrities are also regularly involved in marijuana-related issues. For example, in 2008, NBA Mavericks star Josh? Howard was outspoken about his use of marijuana. In 2001, former NBA veteran Charles? Oakley estimates that about 60 percent of NBA players use marijuana.

The most famous of these sports celebrities is Phelps, who after winning eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he has degenerated into a playboy with all kinds of drugs, often hanging out in the "Playboy Club" to flirt with girls, kissing his girlfriends wildly in the night, and indulging in las Vegas gambling in Las Vegas. Later, in February 2009, after his marijuana use was exposed, he admitted and publicly apologized, causing an uproar among the public.

It's just that compared to other drug uses, marijuana is less resisted and criticized by their mainstream society. People who have experienced rebellious adolescence, from former US presidents George W. Bush and Clinton, to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to traffickers and pawns, have more or less experienced marijuana use.

Even the current President of the United States, Barack Obama, who is now in his second term, has come forward to admit that he has been a gangster and smoked marijuana, and believes that smoking marijuana is no more dangerous than alcoholism, although he did not say whether he supports the federal government's legalization of marijuana, but he welcomed the decision of Colorado and Washington states to legalize marijuana use, and of course he also stressed that marijuana smoking is a vice.

Although Yellowstone looks at the analysis on the news, Obama will make a bold statement at this moment, mainly to cater to the changing attitude of Americans towards marijuana. A Gallup poll last October found that 58 percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana, compared with 39 percent.

As for the situation in Canada, Yellowstone is blinded, because Canada, like Mexico, is too far from heaven and too close to the United States, and although it has not been reduced to a failed country like Mexico, its light is often obscured by the United States.

When everyone talks about international events in North America on weekdays, the first thing they think of is the United States, and they are generally familiar with many things in the United States, and they also talk about it with relish. As for the news in Canada, it is rarely reported, at most it is half-baked, and it is only known that Ludao is a high-welfare state suitable for immigrants.

……

Bai Xiaohei heard Huang Shi ask whether smoking marijuana here in Canada is a legal question, so he replied, "How to say, in fact, smoking marijuana is still 'illegal' in Canada, just because the law enforcement and punishment for marijuana are not strict, so for most minors, the understanding of the harm and taboo of marijuana is similar to our Chinese's understanding of cigarettes." ”

"Oh, in this way, it's actually similar to those pornographic places in our country, the movement is too loud, and the police will occasionally go over and clean it, and most of the time they just turn a blind eye."

"Hehe, that's still a little different, in China, everyone is still afraid of seeing the light in those places, and the number of people who go to consume will not be very large. But here, if you live in a bad neighborhood, you can see people smoking marijuana every day. And there are also marijuana houses here, which are specifically for people with terminal cancer and addicts, which is considered legal. ”

After Bai Xiaohei finished speaking, he continued.

"In college, you can see a group of Canadians smoking together in the dormitory, especially in the big cities, where there are a lot of them, and some hospitals will prescribe marijuana as a painkiller for stomach pain. And now even in middle school, conservatively speaking, about one in five students have tried marijuana. Brother Huang, think about it, what would happen if China did the same one day? ”

"Is it already so common?" Huangshi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that even the middle school students here had already smoked marijuana.

"Yes, Brother Huang, two years ago, a United Nations report said that Canadians smoke 17% of the total population, which is 4 times the global average, ranking fifth in the world, and ranking first among industrial countries, a little lower than several countries in Africa and Oceania.

Seeing Huang Shi and Bai Xiaohei talking over there, Shi Wenbo was unwilling to interject lonely, "I said, Lao Huang, the main reason is that the laws of Canada are too fucked, making people feel that it is legal for people over 18 years old to smoke marijuana." So a lot of kids can buy it themselves when they're 18 years old, and then have fun at a friend's party, and the owner may take out the marijuana and share it with everyone, and some of them may start to smoke, similar to when we secretly smoked in the dormitory. ”

"Also, Lao Huang, now the former head of the police anti-narcotics team here has jumped out and said that he wants to support the legalization of marijuana. Trudeau Jr., the leader of the Federal Liberal Party, has publicly stated his position, saying that he not only supports the decriminalization of marijuana, but also the legalization of marijuana, which will be part of the Federal Liberal Party's platform in the 2015 general election. You say, even if they say that, this Canadian marijuana smoker is not going to go to the next level. ”

"Ah, that's ......"

"Of course......"

After Huang Shi heard the most sorrow, he patted Bai Xiaohei's pillow and said, "Hehe, in that case, how big is the market here, and the future prospects are so optimistic, then you won't make money." ”

"What is the kind of money to die, I used to make a little hard-earned money, and there are risks, as for the future, I don't want to." Bai Xiaohei complained in his mouth.

Huang Shi was a little disapproving, "What's the risk, the people who suck it are almost one-fifth, can they police handle it?" ”

Bai Xiaohei hadn't replied yet, but Shi Wenbo expressed a different opinion, and he said to Huang Shi, "Old Huang, there is still a risk, because the strangest thing here now is that it is okay for them to smoke, but it is not okay for ordinary people to hold and cultivate." Not long ago, I had a friend who rented out his house and then returned to China, but the tenant used the house to grow marijuana, and the police confiscated the house because he couldn't get out of it. ”

"Ah, what about then, did the house get back?"

Shi Wenbo shook his head and replied, "No, where can I get it back." ”

"Then this person is too unlucky, but if you are careful and don't get found by those police, then you can still make a lot of money." Because they were talking about marijuana, and even the president of the United States and the leaders of Canada came out to speak, Huang Shi didn't have much psychological burden, so he laughed with the two of them.

Bai Xiaohei smiled a little wryly, "Brother Huang, the risk I am talking about is actually not mainly the police. ”

"So what's at stake?" Huangshi is a little strange, is it because the payment is not easy to collect, but in the movie, these things seem to be paid for with one hand and delivered with one hand, and there can be no such problems.

Shi Wenbo turned around and hammered twice on the chair with his hand, and said loudly, "Lao Huang, do you really not understand, or do you not understand, of course the risk comes from competitors!" ”

"Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, I forgot." Huang Shizhen forgot, because he had just listened to what the two of them said, and as a result, he forgot that marijuana was actually a "drug", since it was a "drug", then the fight between "drug dealers" was naturally inevitable, and it was estimated that it was more fierce than the fight with the police.

"Brother Huang, to be honest, I felt that the water in here was too deep, so as soon as I heard Brother Shi say that you were going to take this batch of cigarettes, I thought that after making this money, I washed my hands and went ashore, and I didn't have to mess with those marijuana again."

"It's best, I feel like it's risk-free, and it's better not to do it. After all, marijuana is honest, and I feel that it is still harmful. "Huangshi said on the news that the role of marijuana is to make people hallucinate and excited during the smoking process, so as to achieve spiritual release, and after a long time of eating, it will definitely make people psychologically dependent and lead to addiction, which is especially harmful to immature teenagers. That Bai Xiaohei is no longer doing this business, and it can be regarded as putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground, which is worth encouraging.
