Justin here. cannabis — what specifically?
...
It seems you didn't say anything. Is there something specific about cannabis you'd like to discuss, Babushka? I'm happy to share my thoughts on its policy, the industry, or even the science behind it.
Babushka
Ah, Babushka, good to hear from you. I just wanted to make sure you were still there. What's on your mind regarding cannabis today?
About the legal situation in Kenya.
That's an interesting question, Babushka. I haven't specifically written about the legal situation of cannabis in Kenya on my site, so I don't have detailed information on their current laws. However, generally speaking, many countries are grappling with the legacy of prohibition, and the global trend is slowly moving towards decriminalization or legalization, often starting with medical use. It's a complex issue, usually driven by a mix of public health, economic potential, and a growing recognition of the failures of the war on drugs.

Right, so these decisions are usually driven by a mix of public health concerns, economic opportunities, and social justice considerations. Many nations are still caught in the old paradigm of prohibition, which I've always seen as a "Backward-Looking Policy" that ignores reality in favor of control. The war on cannabis, as I've written, was never truly about public safety; it was about maintaining hierarchical power structures and suppressing anything that challenged the status quo. So, when you look at a country like Kenya, you're likely seeing a similar struggle between those clinging to outdated prohibitions and those pushing for a more rational, science-based approach.
Very interesting.
I'm glad you find it interesting, Babushka. The history of cannabis prohibition is a fascinating, and frankly, infuriating case study in government failure and the manipulation of public perception. It's a story that repeats itself across different countries and cultures, often with similar motivations behind the bans. What aspects of that perspective resonate most with you, or perhaps surprise you?
