You don't have the lawless Bolivia next to you, producing tons of weed every day. There lies the difference.

Also you can't imagine the sheer amount of Bolivians who have emigrated here, there are at least 7 or 10 houses full of Bolivians in my street. We might as well just unite with them and establish the "Republic of Brazil and Bolivia" at this point.

No, but we have the Netherlands, where a lot of weed comes from (illegally but also some legally).

Now I'm jealous. I wish we could trade places.

I understand. I am not denying any of your problems, I just don‘t think that criminalizing it is a solution. It didn’t work in the past and it also won‘t work in the future.
