"a lot of people wanna follow the law"

do we have any options?

I am 40 years old. I used drugs for 23 years - mostly marijuana, ecstacy, alcohol and occassionally some powders like coke and speed.

About a year ago, I decided I wanted a clear head so i could write creativley, do a little better in my career, and hopefully live a little longer - so i stopped using all drugs.

Prohibition is a stupid thing. I honestly think that if drugs had not been illegal, I wouldn't have found them so fascinating

Portugal's approach has been clever and effective.

Even in Iran they have needle exchange programs but not in oh so liberal Sweden. It's a big shame, all major parties, all parties in the parliament write that they are against harm reduction methods in their party programs.

I'm in sweden, I have just decided last week to seriously start going off opiates and the sleeping pill zolpidem.

I'm so fucking scared of getting caught with drugs in this country. A significant proportion of the population are completely brainwashed when it comes to drugs here, and extremely judgemental when it comes to lifestyle. Luckily I don't inject and luckily I found a very good addiction doctor who will help me get off drugs in a safe way.

@FereMunduzTV Some people do end up on other drugs after smoking weed.

Thank you for making this. Swedish drug policy is a disaster. Henrik Tham, thank you for speaking up.

Let the people who want a drug free sweden have it, as long as they give land to people who don't want to take part in their moralizing laws and propaganda shit.

[FereMunduzTV]

Well how many who have seen this video disagrees that criminalizing sports and drugs like cannabis is the same? Feel shame to live in the country of Sweden. . .

It's our lack of knowledge and the swarm of lies that has been going thru the older generations heads have brainwashed them into believing that cannabis and heroin have the same damage effect and that if you start smoking weed, you'll end up as a heroin user. . . I mean COME ON!

Legalize it, DON'T CRITICIZE IT!

@Quasi84 Göra allt olagligt?

Hoppas inte det, det vore ju an ingen puckat.

Den som dör av överdos av illegala substanser får skylla sig själv.

Jag sörjer inte när en pundare dör av överdos. Där emot så ska vi hjälpa dem att bli fri från skiten. Cannabis är mindre farligt och mindre beroendeframkallande än tobak och har dessutom medicinska effekter vilket tobak helt saknar. Jag vill INTE legalisera cannabis. Gissa vad jag vill...
