Filmed in a former studio of a radio station in Helsinki, the event was live streamed last month and I got to perform 6 songs of my own!

It was to choose between two different party programs, both of which were pro-decriminalization at the least.
Also, Vihreä liitto is aiming for decriminalization first.

I'd assume that in University circles the number is higher, and I'm pretty sure it was reported to be 50-60% a few years ago.
From what I gather the pandemic has caused an increase in drug use in general in Finland. There's not much solid data so far, though.

Most university students openly admit to having at least tried weed. Generally the younger the person the more likely it is that they're at least pro decriminalization.
In the US there are large segments of the population that are against legalizing it, mainly because of a long campaign of racist policies by our politicians.
Kind of the same thing here. I don't think it's as rooted in racism but more so that we are incredibly stubborn to make any meaningful change in large things like prohibition of drugs. The boomers (pardon the expression) of the parties have come out in debates with arguments like "We can't simply start making things legal that are illegal".
Since it's the enviromentally conscious party that is suggesting this, I've seen a hundred "BUT WEED MAKES A TON MORE CO2 THAN BEER!!" type comments online from both politicians and members of the general public. That's usually the extent of their statements.

Fuck. Yes. This is a great step for at least the discussion in Finnish politics. I think the 183-181 is too close to be simply a coincidence. It gives the Greens an easy backpedal if they ever need to.. "Well as you might recall it barely made it through the vote internally in our party"
..okay I'll loosen the tinfoil and roll up a joint. Oh wait I can't it's still illegal and that's not changing any time soon.

Album art I commissioned is coming along nicely and I'm having a blast. Been looking into pressing vinyl records and tapes.
Oh, and I had two of my songs played on the radio! Radio Helsinki in particular. Sparks feat. Vacant Sundays and the debut single of our band Noise Job, Medication.

Muffin LinkI really can't see myself in good conscience supporting this company financially or by engaging with their products. This latest move is just another one in a list of abhorrent decisions.I really can't see myself in good conscience supporting this company financially or by engaging with their products.

I'd also assume the gear on this tier will get upgraded while your parts are gonna stay the same. If I had the internet to use cloud gaming, I'd really think hard about getting this sub. I'm stuck on decent LTE for now, but the Xcloud streaming barely works still.
