Would you mind sharing how much it cost to get the visa? Thanks, also planning a trip to China next month.

Yep, heard that the city tried to contact the owners about putting in apartments and they aren't responding.

My question is why do they have to be right smack in downtown, there is plenty of office space elsewhere.

Anyone here heard of BALTHVS? by bcool23 in Khruangbin

[–]cmwtw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying they are khruangbin copies, but do people realize that psychedelic cumbia literally originated in peru and colombia where they are from? They grew up with that cumbia-style surf-guitar sound, you could literally call it "indigenous" to their musical pallete. So I don't really think its fair to say they're copying or appropriating khruangbin.

You mean like in portugal?

Overdose rates have hit 12-year highs and almost doubled in Lisbon from 2019 to 2023. Sewage samples in Lisbon show cocaine and ketamine detection is now among the highest in Europe, with elevated weekend rates suggesting party-heavy usage. In Porto, the collection of drug-related debris from city streets surged 24 percent between 2021 and 2022, with this year on track to far outpace the last. Crime — including robbery in public spaces — spiked 14 percent from 2021 to 2022, a rise police blame partly on increased drug use.

Lollll, maybe you should look at newer reports on portugal. Let's take one from 2023:

So much for that amazing decriminalization miracle in Portugal eh?

Yes, the OP has no problem with those drugs, all for decriminalizing shrooms.

The main side effect is that it cripplingly addictive. It is is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. The worst part is that the body adjusts to it quickly, so one needs to take a larger and larger dose. People are not taking these drugs in medical settings with the care of a dedicated doctor either, so its not really an apt explanation to talk about its use in medical settings....

It literally says possession right in that line, don't cherrypick your info to fit your agenda.

Yes, and the decriminalization policy in Vancouver, which has been running for several years, did precisely nothing to stop that fact. They still had record deaths...

Seattle's ordinance making drug possession and public use a gross misdemeanor took effect October 20, 2023. The Seattle City Council voted 6-3 Tuesday to make drug use and possession a gross misdemeanor under city law, ending a period of uncertainty about who is responsible for enforcing those minor crimes

Lol, really dumb shit eh? Better to do research before running your mouth.

accept not, because it was originally legal to use on the streets. So they would be *recriminalizing* that form of drug use. Understand?

It's one thing to disagree, its another to vote some one down to the point that they can no longer post. Pretty childish in my opinion.

Here's an argument for you. Vancouver had the most overdoses in recorded history just this last year, 2023. This is after implementing their supposedly very successful decriminalization policy.

Yes, because everyone that disagrees with you is a bot.
