That is unreal and very sad............you die for having a plant that makes people feel better and has never killed a single person in the history of the world.

They enact these laws to protect their citizens from a dangerous plant. Who is protecting them from their government? Death for a plant.

There is a special place in hell for those who make decisions like this.

There are lots of people in western countries who think drug abuse would go away if we whacked the dealers, yet these countries seem to have no end of executions for drug dealing. China, who claimed to have eliminated drug abuse (not counting alcohol) seems able to line up a bunch of victims to celebrate world anti-drug day or whatever they call it.
