you can buy pain meds from which you can easily make meth here. And without ID. There was some talk about regulation, but lobby was stronger. Instead they banned the magic mushrooms (fortunatelly for the hippies and trippers there's not enough police to guards the woods to see if people don't pick magic mushrooms along the regular ones. And you simply cannot "ban" something that grows in the dirt).

And then marijuana has some weird status here, that it's not illegal but not legal (they call it decriminalized). Until recent changes in law where you can purchase "medical" marijuana planted abroad for a price nobody who needs it can really afford... it was demonized. Now all of sudden it's good (the doctors say)... unless you plant it at home (as half of the people in my village... the elderly population... do).

Laws are funny thing and hardly ever reflect what is good for us.
