And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout “This is a F.A.C.T. jack”! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

      They mentioned the ATF. It was explicitly US centric and while a bit hyperbolic it is becoming more common there.

        You mean ATF as in the automatic transmission fluid? No it was not explicitly US centric. You thinking a three letter acronym has to be about the US is just further evidence of the same assumption being the basis for all your thoughts.

          That’s a you problem. You need to learn to Google stuff in context. “ATF” alone might not tell you what it is, but you had “cannabis” and “dea” as 2 other keywords you could’ve used. That’s like putting “right” in Google translate and complaining that it sucks because it gave you the word for “just” instead of the opposite of “left”

            As if I did not use a search engine to find the result about automatic transmission fluid just to make a point. Funny you try to belittle me for not being able to understand what the post wrote when what actually happened here was that my point went straight over your head. To put it in plain words for you: I understand the post is about the US. OP talks like the US is everything, like many people from the US do, and the stupidity of it is tiring.

              I got your point. You pretended to be dumb to make it, good job. And now you’re pretending to be a victim because I pointed out that using Google wrong is not op’s fault. Me explaining how to Google is not “belittling”. Didn’t call you any names or anything.

              Back on point: I actually agree with the base idea that many people from the US talk as if they’re the center of the universe and everyone should know what they’re talking about, but c’mon… Let’s not pretend that we’re not watching films and series made there and we don’t know what ATF and DEA are. Make these points when they’re valid, not every time an American speaks.

                I personally had no idea what they meant when I entered this thread, it’s not pretending, there’s a lot of projection going on here

                  I had heard of the DEA, but not the ATF, to be honest. The problem is that three letter acronyms are hardly unique unless context such as domestic to the US is being provided.

                I am not hating on Americans here. You did say I could not Google though, which is just plain wrong.

      Brazillian medical exception needs a big asterisk. You can get medical permits but you cannot grow and they are not legal distribution neither. You basically have to start growing illegally, then going to the police department close to you with a lawyer signed document saying that you are growing against the law to be able to fulfill the legally medical judge permit. If you’re in condition to do that, that mean you have enough money that police are not going to bother you anyways because they only harass poor and black people.

        Yea, I have not done any quality control on the image. However the point was just to point out that weed is not legal almost everywhere, contrary to the post title. There are probably lots of inaccuracies, though the main point still stands.
