    Good approach. I fear that many of the policies would not fly in the US because of "personal rights". We have evolved into a nation that cannot help our lowest.

    Hoping that legalizing same-sex marriage will be next.

    ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤 Its nice to see a better approach. What is the stance on marijuana? Is it considered the same as hard drugs for example?

    You made my day! Marijuana is illegal. My understanding is that the maximum penalty for consuming marijuana is 10 years jail, similar to drugs like heroin or cocaine. Note: I have no comment on what substances (if any) should be legal.

    @@weiwenleung if you had an opinion on this, could it mean problems for you? sadly, I have never been there, so I have no clue. maybe the expectations are different.

    It's just not appropriate for me to comment on that issue at this point of time.
