>> Christian-conservative values

> No. Fool.

First, I think it's clear I'm being somewhat loose and cheeky with my use of "what are essentially Christian-conservative values". Obviously, the use of drugs offend the sensibilities of much more than Christians. (I can't say I'm a huge fan of walking through the smell of weed so thick I could bounce off it), but if you understood christian society in Korea, you'd get what I meant.

Christian Koreans ajummas are hellcats. I'm not talking about tea-party 50/50 chance they did some wild things in college american conservatives but now are trying to erase those pangs of guilt through bible study. Christian Korean ajummas were born with these claws.

There is zero discussion about mental health with these folk. Things like ADHD or depression don't exist. They aren't afraid to give you a nasty look (as opposed to, say, the japanese). I cannot imagine what it's like to be famous and fallen out of grace in Korea.

I don't understand why Christians would necessarily be against the use of cannabis when you consider that it's a naturally growing plant. It strikes me as people second-guessing God and basically saying that he made a mistake in leaving it lying around. It would at least be more consistent if they also banned caffeine.

    I don't know either. A known remedy for toothaches I've heard from old folks was to chew on some part of the hemp plant.

    I think the idea of drug accelerationism/slippery slopes terrify people. I have to keep it real, though, america is doing a terrible job at dispelling the notion.
