I love how I can purchase enough alcohol to easily kill myself from alcohol poisoning but weed is a problem and has to be heavily scrutinized. We're allowed to gather 50K drunk people in a soccer stadium (because that's safe) and where has that gotten us? Maybe it's just me but I'd much rather be surrounded by 50K people who were all high as far as fearing for my safety is concerned. Double standard.
Even worse, alcohol is more than socially accepted. You’re not drinking? So you must be the driver or, if you’re female, pregnant. Must be hell to be addicted to this shit.
I live up north in Germany, so luckily Oktoberfest is not this much of a thing here, even though there are knockoffs. But man, down there in Bavaria it’s fucking nuts. Hundreds of thousands of heavily drunk folks, yelling, urinating and vomiting everywhere, lotta violence, lotta raping… that’s German Leitkultur
Fuckin worst place down there, they even refuse the cannabis legalization and gender correct speech is prohibited - no joke.
Up here we got the Fusion Festival. One week, 80k people, all kinds of drugs - no issues, just peace
