I’m not saying his overall intent was a bad one. But if you try something like that, in a country like Pakistan, you do kinda deserve to be in a mental hospital. I understand trying to spread acceptance and provide a safe place to go for those not accepted by the local society at large, but maybe there are better, even slightly more accepting places where this kind of idea would pan out. I feel like this is equivalent to opening a dispensary in Thailand.
Every Thai I know says that they don’t think it’s going to happen, it is leverage so the National Government can collect more taxes. “Ok we won’t ban you but you got to start paying more”
But hey that is just armchair speculation and this is a thread about Pakistan

Thailand and really most of Asia from my understand, has beyond zero tolerance for cannabis.
Thailand decriminalized Cannabis use in 2022. They’ve tightened the rules here and there a bit, but it’s the Mecca of Cannabis in Asia basically.
It will possibly be recriminalized by the end of the year.

Lemmy: protest groups have every right to block ambulances in the English-speaking world. If people die they die.
