Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Legalize Griner
Time is limited, so I checked on what Germany's leading International newspaper has to say about the matter :
Der Spiegel : The Legalisation of Cannabis
Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe so if Germany goes ahead and is successful in this area, sooner or later the rest of Europe is bound to follow ( just as these days, everybody wants to be in the EU - and Sweden even wants to become a paying member of NATO - because of fear of The Russian Bear
Whilst the romanticization of recreational cannabis continues unimpeded, despite the danger of cannabis leading to dangerous drugs such as heroin ( so say some people) have we ever stopped to consider what the legalisation of cannabis could have on the morale of the military, on the fighting men and women, on their fighting spirit? Wouldn't it lead to the pacification of whole nations= Whole nations of draft dodgers singing " Make love not war"?
What else could be behind Louis Farrakhan saying " they don't want to fight"?
Worst case scenario maybe something like the Opium Wars?
( You'd have thought that right now the Republicans must be salivating about Joe Biden's classified documents turning up in unexpected places but I could find any rejoicing over the matter at Frontpage Magazine.
Maybe later they will be inhaling, frequently?
Mighty puffs, great clouds of joy?
"German legalization of cannabis could create green wave in Europe"
Good or bad? I just read this uninteresting piece of news in SvD. I guess it could could attract a few more tourists to Germany, but one the whole how would the legalistaionlegalisation affect Germany's economy and spiritual well-being positively or negatively?
German legalization could create green wave in EuropeNext year, German adults can legally buy and smoke locally grown cannabis.
The complete reversal could set Europe in motion. Berlin's legalization plans put the EU in a tailspin - and are predicted to create green ripples across the continent.

ClA green jungle spreads out under the light of yellow plant lights. The scent is overwhelming, sharp but sweet at the same time. Here, in the countryside just outside Dresden, Germany, an old slaughterhouse has been converted into Europe's largest indoor cannabis cultivation. Thousands of copies of the controversial plants grow on an area the size of twenty football pitches.
Today, the company Demecan annually produces around one ton of cannabis for medical use, which has been legal in Germany since 2017. But if the German government's plan goes ahead - to legalize cannabis for private use as early as next year - production could quickly increase tenfold, according to CEO Philipp Goebel.
