I'm Finally Leaving America's Crazed Police State

[Tudo]

I'd do the same if one country on earth ( in a warm climate ) had legal marijuana.

I lived overseas for several years ( in a communist country ) and yes I agree with you that this place is FUBAR however my advice to you is don't burn any bridges leaving.

Some of us are awake.

Yeah? A verrrry verrrry small percentage. Infinitesimal.

And contrary to the new wave of thinking, losing isn't winning. Losing is still losing. Denial is still denial.

Cambodia is quite lax with its marijuana prohibition laws (it is technically illegal but never enforced from what I understand), and of course you can't get a much warmer climate than that. Depends on how "Third World" you're willing to go, though. They also had "happy pizza", but it looks like their government is starting to crack down on it being sold in public.

If We, The People were to demand a balanced budget from our Government much of the police state, along with our foreign intervention, would wither and die. The bullying of the world and the abuses heaped on us here at home are financed with borrowed money.

Someone should be following the money trail and see who in gov't or congress has ties to the companies making these cameras and go viral with it. Then find out if it is even constitutional for the DHS to give grants for it. Same crap that is funding domestic drones. There has to be a loophole or at the very least a way to shoot it down it the court of public opinion.

Yup. It was passed in the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007....which amended the Homeland Security Act of 2002, to set it up so DHS could award grant programs through FEMA.

You can depending on your demeanor and who you know find much more freedom in a communist 4th world country in certain things sometimes than you can in the land of the free. I can LEGALLY do anything I want with it in Vietnam because of my relations there but that doesn't make it legal. When I say legal I mean legal. I don't mean able to get away with it this time or for a while. I'm very familiar with SE Asia, lived there for years and own a business in Vietnam. It ain't legal.

I'll make an investment in california real estate and relocate the business there from Fla ( looking )because of this crap. But I wouldn't take that shot in Asia even with connections. No way. When I was much younger I probably would have done that but pushing 60 in chronic pain with already being the recipient of a failed open heart surgery? No way.

quitter.

I heard Costa Rica was a nice destination.

Good points. In that case, you're right - there don't seem to be many options available. I did a bit more digging, and it looked like Peru was the only country that has at least a certain amount legal for possession... looks like you can get away with eight grams or so. This is surprising to me - I would have thought cannabis would be legal in at least a few other countries. Good luck with your search.

Portugal has no drug laws (at least insofar as you understand them here), and the same can be said for the territory known as Somalia (including Somaliland). I'm sure there are many other countries as well. Also, if you are making your decision where to move based on primarily whether marijuana is legal or not....well, your choice, but it seems quite myopic. Don't mind bein' a serf long as I have my marijuana! :>

Not primarily but certainly a part of it and I sure hope you never have to understand.

Compared to most countries, we are much, much freer and have more protections, though they are being eroded.

Oops wiped out

 

[playboymommy]

I'm so tired of you, America...

 

[anaconda]

Unless he decides to live a fairly primitive lifestyle, in places like Panama or somewhere in south America. I know some Americans who have made that choice and seem to be happy with that decision. Jesse Ventura, for instance, lives in Baja, Mexico off the grid--no electricity and no pavement.

I truly believe we have to leave a good portion of the technology, that will eventually enslave us--it can be done here in America, if you do it right.

I worked with a girl that recently moved to Brazil. She's having a blast. But it's a fairly developed area. She just signed up to run in some 10K race there.

 

[anaconda]

someone should be shooting these cameras so they no longer work.

But do it off camera.

 

[anaconda]

Hey can anyone find that thread from a year or two ago about the young man who left the U.S., lived in a number of countries, but then returned I believe and wrote an article about the downside of the places he had lived? I try again to find it.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

But do it off camera.

Yeah, behind it

What an uncanny coincidence that the politicians won't balance the budget...
