Yeah it's true that even though the term West/western is so varying, it is difficult to include Russia in.

And during the prohibition, black market flourished. The business will always be there. The question is do you support organized crime or do you support taxing to cover harm reduction and safety for people (buying from non-criminal sources, tested product etc)

How ok would it actually be for other countries to agree to remove one somehow... there'd be few on the same list if Israel would become a precedent

Musk supports Russia so what's the play here
Global press really. It's been fascist ever since everywhere
