Cannabis rights

Many have adopted a policy of decriminalization to make simple possession a non-criminal offense (often similar to a minor traffic violation).

[8][9] The conversation about cannabis rights has shifted from picket signs declaring "Pot is fun," to being about health and social justice.

[9][10] It's been noted that African-American communities may be suffering the most from the continued prohibition of cannabis, although consumption rates are approximately the same as white citizens.

In 1996, the passing of Proposition 215 by California voters restored limited rights for medical cannabis patients in the state.

Being federally illegal, profits cannot be handled through federally-insured banks (including checks or deposits), so cannabis retailers are forced to use cash or remain vague about business practices.

[16] There were around two million cannabis users in Indonesia in 2014, reported by the National Anti-Narcotics Agency (Badan Narkotika Nasional - BNN).

This makes cannabis the most popular drug in Indonesia followed by amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) such as methamphetamine (shabu) and ecstasy.

The death penalty is given to the people who grow cannabis, or a minimum fine of $550,000, based on the National Anti-Narcoticts (BNN) law.
