>>9253388The difference between the US and Australia. The US makes a formerly illegal product, Marijuana, refines it, and turns it into a booming industry that adds billions to your economy. Mind you, hashish made the old fashioned way is FAR superior to what you have atm. You're supposed to shave down, put a swimming cap on, and run through the plantations(preferably female plants as they have far superior quality thc) in the early morning dew. Sit down, relax. Scrape down your skin where the resin has attached itself to with sharp knife. Gather resin in big block. Dry. Smoke or sell hahaha :) I grew up on the good stuff. I'm in my 50s now, but i'll NEVER forget that kind of quality.
Also we sold our soul to OPEC Singapore re:oil. You produce your own. We used to have a big company called ESSO, which mined the oil here (one of the oldest countries in the world, I'm positive we have more dinosaur bones down in our ground but don't bother to mine it. Greenies whinge and whine ALL DAY LONG. Pricve of petrol here. $1.85 a litre atm.
You also don't tax the shit out of cigarette products. Over here we RAPE the people who smoke. I can't afford to buy cigs with ready made filter. Have to buy rolling tobacco and roll my own. But $45 a packet for the cheapest brand 25g. I HATE IT here hahaha :)
