    Learning a foreign language and runing the fuck out of US is also an option. You don’t need risk everything just to better a country where 60% of population hates you and rest is barely neutral.

      This is how you concentrate evil, and doing so in a huge area with the most power and resources is a bad idea.
      The better idea is to organize, spread the good out, beat gerrymandering, beat FPTP, regulate campaign funding and special interest lobbying, change the laws, bring back evidence based policy making expert council, and crush the enemy… Or be crushed and or ousted yourself.

      Need ideas for countries. What’s a good place I could move to that has decent public transit infrastructure, free healthcare and good welfare/retirement benefits, cheap gigabit internet, and legal cannabis concentrates?

      (Last one is most important because I literally cannot sleep without weed; prescription sleeping pills are awful and do not work effectively for me. Also flower is a non-option cause the wife hates the smell and I want to be considerate.)

        Japan still has legal CBN (and CBD), at least until the government figures out that people are using it to have fun and bans it. Although health care is cheap but not free.

            Yeah cbd didn’t do much for me but cbn gives similar feelings to thc. I didn’t look into it very deeply but it’s something like thc breaks down into cbn over time. It’s basically a weaker version of thc. Apparently you could pass a drug test with cbd but not with cbn, for example.

          Lets just wait what we Germans vote in 2029. Not sure CDU will kill off the AfD (i actually believe they will team up).

            2029 may be too late. If things don’t turn around after the midterms, I’m leaving the country.

          The Netherlands allows cannabis concentrates now? Last I checked it was only flower, and you still can only buy it in “coffee shops”.

              Did some limited research and it seems like no other country except Uruguay meets my needs. In those other countries, it seems like you have to make your own (illegally). Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears that you can’t just walk into a shop and buy shatter, crumble, wax, a preloaded distillate vape, etc.

              I don’t have the skills nor the fancy equipment to make my own concentrates, so I guess I’m going to die here in the US… I don’t want to have to go back to the days of taking several prescriptions for my various physical and mental issues. I just want to be able to freely hit the vape anytime and anywhere, and not have to look over my shoulder every time I do so. Those days are far behind me and I never want to go back to them ever again.

      Or even just still using English. Most countries use it in some capacity.

      If you have an university degree or job that’s in high demand even learning a foreign language can be done after you got out. (source: I have a shitload of America friends that came to Europe without speaking anything but English)

        Only 12% of African Americans voted Trump IIRC. The majority of European Americans did vote for him. Don’t let them hide what they are behind the decency of others.
