Some one was saying to me the political climate has recently actually deteriorated

Saying the political climate has recently actually deteriorated in societies .The Netherlands, with their decades-old coffeeshop policy that is attacked not just from a right-wing

And some thing about Dutch voters and Dutch voters dismantling of their country's liberal handling of soft drugs.

And the UK has strick laws where one can go to jail for just smoking pot.

Going on to say many US states voted down the talk on legalization of marijuana.

Going on to say the media in Canada is now more anti-marijuana .The government passing tough laws in Canada.

So I ask is the political climate actually deteriorated ? Is the media becoming very anti-marijuana ?

It seems to always be this tug of war going on.
