>This is still banned in several American states

for wat purpose

Is this a silly old law like how we are still allow to kill scots under various circumstances?

>like how we are still allow to kill scots under various circumstances?

Explain

It was something to do with harming the timber industry. Still, to this day Americans generally don't consume blackcurrants

And did you know in Pennsylvania, you can't run for governor if you've ever fought a duel?

what is a blackcurrant?

>It was something to do with harming the timber industry

Plants in the blueberry (Ericaceae) family are a vector for rust fungus.

Alot of counties in England have laws in which English people can legally kill scots with bows and/or crossbows. They're all from before Scotland joined the union but are all technically still legal.

That sounds... exploitable.

Not native to the New World and a disease vector for shit that could devastate the domestic industry.

We do grow it here connercially, though, and you can buy rootstock for your own garden.

In Italy apparently it's legal to kill a man you find sleeping with your wife.

>Not native to the New World and a disease vector for shit that could devastate the domestic industry.

As I said, any Ericaceae species can carry rust fungus including ones that are native to North America.

Let me get this straight.

Americans ban perfectly safe berries because of muh diseases, but proceed to consume raw meat en masse?

It's not about the consumption, it's about the cultivation.

>proceed to consume raw meat en massé

do you have any evidence of this? most people I know refuse to eat any meat with pink in it because they're convinced it's blood.

Not because of muh disease to people, but because pines in northeast america didn't have any resistance to rust fungus and it could kill their industry.
It wasn't a sanitary concern, it was an economic concern.

>you still we always be a cuck

It is, im honestly surprised noones took advantage of these laws. Some are way more circumstantial then others but some are as simple as being allowed to shoot arrows at scottish people in your street. The best thing about them though is the fact the government is aware of them but hasnt changed them because theres "no need to"

I'm pretty sure it's against EU regulations. So keep those bows away for the time being.

We don't eat raw meat you idiot.

Yeah right, next you're gonna tell me you dont refrigerate your toilet paper and dont microwave your water.

Why do you think we've told the scots they have to wait until we formally leave the EU for another referendum.

We don't. Everyone knows you're supposed to freeze your toilet paper and bake your water.

What about showering and sleeping with shoes on? That's true, right?

Currants aren't even a part of the heather family and there is hardly any way of confusing them as such. Entirely different clade
