But if you look around the world, Cannabis has been fucked by all things political.
Just look back at history…Kashmir, Vietnam (Reagan) Colombia ( the FARC)… Burma …Mexico…the list goes on.
I know, found it making a search as now I am going to grow some afghan strains and wanted more info. Just saw mister comment and couldn’t resist, my bad, sorry amigo …
I remember when the USSR invaded Afghanistan. In fact, there was even a Rambo movie about it. We sure changed our tune when, in 1998, our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed.
Don’t get me started on Iraq. I spent over 2 years in that country altogether, only to watch ISIS take over. The worst part is the ISIS situation is what we were trying to PREVENT. I was there in '03 for the invasion, '04-'05 and '08-'09. My second deployment was the worst by far. During that one, there was the Sadr Uprising, Fallujah (the whole damn country went up in flames; Fallujah just got all the press), 2 battles for Baquba, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the country’s first elections. That’s not counting the dozens of minor skirmishes that took place between major battles.
The worst part was when I was back in the States, I had people tell me words to the effect of "get out of the country if you won’t support our president…from CIVILIANS who supported the war but refused to actually join the military. Frankly, I will never for give the American people for that.
Amigo…I only started the thread about weed…I respect and honor your service…my brother was part of the black watch who worked alongside that mission…brave guys who played the bagpipes on the advance …who wondered what the fuck they were doing there…respect …this is a thread for weed.
We can all In Hindsight … wonder why the fuck we were even involved there…considering how it has worked out nowadays.
Maybe we should, take a breath and think of the future.
