It's still unknown whether President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden will win the 2020 race for the US presidency. But according to Gizmodo, one clear winner has emerged in another fight: the drug legalization movement. In both red and blue cities and states, people voted to legalize or decriminalize cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, and, in Oregon, all illicit drugs entirely. New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana all passed ballot measures to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Voting to legalize cannabis and other drugs appeared to have nothing to do with whether a state voted for Trump or Biden--or its governor's party. and GOP governors of Arizona and South Dakota discouraged residents from voting to legalize cannabis. It didn't work.
Although medical marijuana is legal in Germany, German regulations on growing cannabis are extremely stringent. Christoph Rossner, the managing director of a cannabis growing and research operation called Bunker Pflanzenextrakte UG, found a high security facility for his operation that complied with German law and also matched his budget - a former NATO bunker designed to protect top military commanders in the event of a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.
