Despite your claims to be independent from the United States, you will follow our demands that marijuana remain illegal. The war on marijuana users is a moral crusade that the U.S. imposes on the rest of the world. Sure, you will discuss it, you might even pass a weak decriminalization law, such as was done in Great Britain, but you will never reform. Our drug tsar will visit again and you will comply. Sorry.
