Burma has the same thing: it’s there and easily found and funnily enough there isn’t the huge drug problem that the scaremongering media seem to be predicting in the West. A lot of it has to do with attitude after all and from what I’ve seen of specific US policy with this sort of thing there seems to be a bizarre rationale that if you make something, anything, legal then everyone’s going to rush out to do it. They don’t seem to have figured out that by raving about its forbidden nature constantly that they’re actually advertising whatever it is e.g. if they didn’t demonise alcohol constantly to school children then that wouldn’t be first on the agenda of ‘dangerous’ and ‘exciting’ things to try whenever they get the chance and even if said children do go down that route after a handful of years of getting ridiculously drunk they’ll just grow out of it.
As for the sandwich, I’ll admit I’m a little apprehensive of the beetroot aspect but if I’m going to try it I ought to do it properly.
