In the 70s it was arguably safer to do so in Afghanistan than the US.

Now it’s legal some places in the US and Afghanistan has a brutally repressive moralistic government.

The US isn’t brutally repressive yet, but we’re constantly working on it!

Hard drugs are completely decriminalized here in Seattle. You can fen smoke fentanyl on the bus without getting into trouble. Unfortunately. I miss the 80s when people were at least afraid of getting caught.
