No. Sorry. This is invalid. It would be pretty bad if we declare some shit illegal and retroactively apply the "law". You will be charged for shit that everyone did and is perfectly fine. For example: How would you like to go to jail for not being a Christian? This will be weaponized.

It was okay to be a Jew in Germany until it wasn't. I know, Godwin's Law, but valid in this case.


Imagine they make Marijuana illegal again in the states where is legal know.

Before that you shared your consuming habits online.

Then it becomes illegal.

You are now a suspect and get a search warrant and if they find traces of marijuana you go to jail.
