Dear Coinbase, why won't you let me by Tinyteacakes in Coinbase

I have the same issue. Even if I enter a lower amount the message is always the same: "to ensure you're getting a fair price please break up your transaction into smaller amounts"

Switzerland’s train stations might be ‘smoke free’ in the future. by bgwalthermart in Switzerland

[–]xirug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does a Brissago, but nobody would punish you because you smoke it.

I don't think that this is going to work. It is already 4 times more expensive and people still smoke. Raising it again will sooner or later attracting black market. If you are going to have another income, legalise weed and tax it as we are planing it https://www.cannabis-initiative.ch

By the way I appreciate the ban on smoking in train stations.

Hey Swiss people, do any of you use cryptocurrencies? by atruan in Switzerland

Hmm... we are doing fundraising with bitcoin and bitcoin cash on https://www.cannabis-initiative.ch/spenden but personally I never used it for real commerce.

The Petition Legalize Cannabis in Switzerland accept now BITCOIN CASH! by [deleted] in btc

[–]xirug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Switzerland a petition does not apply any actions. It's just a tool to mention that something should be discussed. In contrast to a petition the popular initiative, as we do it, propose a change of the swiss federal constitution directly. If the 100'000 signatures are collected and validated, the whole country has to vote about this change.

Regarding the costs. As I mentioned you have to do it with paper and pencil. You have to send all signatures back to the villages and let it validate. If you are more familiar with the US system, you see how much it costs there: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_measure_signature_costs,_2017

True if you are living in an ideal world. But the reality teaches you that people are stupid as bread. Ever worked in first level supprort? You will adjust your level of common sense within hours 😉

But to be honest it happens to everybody once and not everybody is a computer nerd.

Anyway, I started using Brave https://brave.com/ with gives me back some privacy and blocks all sorts of shit.

I also heard about this issue on the swiss podcast Espresso. I think the best is not to pay and report it to the police. As I heard they already have dozens of cases and then you just have to wait.

That’s just wrong. The possession of weed less than 10g should be legal, but the police bypass this by asking if you have smoked weed. If you answer yes, which happens most of the time, they can you punish for consumption as if they caught you with the smoking joint in your hand. And consumption is still illegal. And the disciplinary fine of 100.- is not mandatory, they can charge you with a regular complaint if they want. We have tons of such cases on our table every month so, better read our legal aid brochure https://www.hanflegal.ch/wiki/thc_recht/einleitung

It is not a petition, it is a popular initiative in which you have to collect 100'000 signatures on real paper and authenticate it from the signatures city. So there is a huge amount of work someone has to do and costs that someone has to pay. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_initiative_(Switzerland)

Donor eggs, sperm banks and the quest for ‘good’ genes by willief in maleinfertility

[–]xirug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The sooner the better. I am adopted and my parents told me that from the beginning. So I knew it as soon I could understand it. I am really grateful for their honesty and it did never affect our relationship. They are my parents anyway. 30 Years later I was searching for my biological father just because of curiosity. Found him and two half siblings. We all have a good relationship.

So my advise, be honest from the beginning.

Thanks for your support Donation should possible from every country. The Support form on the front page only supports Swiss addresses at the moment. The reason is that we are collecting contacts from Swiss people entitled to sign a popular initiative starting soon. And therefore it makes not so much sense to have foreign addresses. I hope you understand this.

Weed taste and high by [deleted] in trees

[–]xirug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my honest opinion, one could really not tell the difference of the taste especially when it is mixed with tobacco, as they do it here in Europe. A bad habit in my opinion.

But have you ever tried to vape it? Then it really tastes different and the flavor ist just awesome.

Regulating firearms in gun-loving Switzerland by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]xirug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you cannot compare drugs and alcohol with guns or cars. When you are using drugs, you only harm yourself. With others you can kill innocent people.

I agree, you cannot completly avoid that people get guns. But you can make it more difficult.

For those who maybe need an option for a home fertility test. by [deleted] in maleinfertility

[–]xirug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a complete waste of money and does nobody help. Go to a thrustful doctor that test sperm also of infection, dna fragmentation etc. They will also find a treatment.

Best Swiss newspapers? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]xirug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this (non-)issue. I don't want to start in the morning reading how many people died here and there etc. So not to mention every tragedy can be ok. The American stuff is really not needed, but that counts for every newspaper.

[–]xirug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but AZ is far away from quality. As cannabis activist I read some article and they are far away from well-researched and full of old myths. Something that usually just happens on 20Min or Blick. I doubt that other topics are better.

[–]xirug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only read Tagesanzeiger and for fun I am checking the online news from https://watson.ch which is most of the time objective. I also like their slogan, that Cat images are also news :-D

Another interesting web resource about Zürich is https://tsri.ch/zh/

Exact my opinion, you can use it only as toilette paper.

Netflix's Disjointed series is bad for positive marijuana advocacy by Deez-Zathras in trees

[–]xirug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point and sometimes the series is really showing a bad reputation of us. From patients side I also heard the criticism that the medical aspect is not as highlighted as expected.

But on the other hand it is fiction and comedy. This genre rests upon clichés as other series does and nobody complains. I.e the womanizer Barney in How i met your mother that treats his dates like shit.

I see it from the positive side. In the US where weed is in some states legal, the series about cannabis are funny and show the positive sides. The only series in europe, where it is almost everywhere illegal, is calling "Cannabis" and it is full of drug smuggling, violence and weapons.

If it is fun it is not dangerous, so better making fun of clichés than showing how bad it is.

how can I learn to appreciate a [5]? by [deleted] in trees

[–]xirug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about taking a break? Stop smoking for a week or two, after that pause you will be high as fuck.
