I really hate that I assume people are assholes on reddit. It is my usual experience and I apologize, but you didn't respond to what I was saying, you just started talking about taxes after I said I'm measuring by happiness. Also we pay up to %37 in taxes. I know I lose about 1/3 of my money to taxes. So instead of 3 paychecks going to the government wed lose 5. Not that big a jump for the benefits.

Well, thank you for explaining to me, you sure ranted at me and taught me.... That you don't pay attention to the words and you are just spouting shit that gives nothing to the conversation. Here's your big reddit win. You got me, shit. How dare I measure a country by how happy people are.

Happiness and quality of life is the metric I was using.

I just read 4 years prison, 3 years supervised release. It will soon be over if it is not already. Invalidated 30 cases from the article.

I am pretty sure the Catholics legally aided their rapists by hiding them and moving them location to location. Murder is totally okay in a lot of religions, especially if deemed holy by another human. Torture, see murder.

Values shift and change, but our education system would be boosted by parents staying at home occasionally. I'm not saying anyone could afford to, but it would be good for us as people.

I don't disagree with you, but the economy is not what it was, pretty sure most people can barely survive with no kids. Family raising their own children is a big deal and we should focus more as a nation to help raise the next generation.

There are other factors at play than just the legalization, here and there. We have to change society. People will use it regardless. Why make them a criminal starting down the path where there is no return.

So, should we make alcohol illegal again. It is DEFINITELY a hard drug. One of the two that the withdrawals will kill you. This is an all or nothing thing, because I can argue with you about what is or isn't a hard drug.
Education, mental health and making a person a part of the community are not easy. Give your unhoused neighbors a reason to care.
Escapism may not be a valid excuse, but escapism will be there either way. We are humans and we seek to escape. It's not like drugs are a new concept, hard or soft.

I am not unhappy here, but as you relate to the world through your lens I do mine. I was injured and out of work for 2 years. Medical debt is no joke and the debt that comes with illness is terrible. I'm scared shitless to age here.
Happiness to me is different than for you, but all governments are fucked and this may be a case of the grass being greener, but accidents and life happen.
