@evan we have been adopting, adapting and spreading cultural achievements all over the globe all the time. Live would be so much poorer if there were hurdles to that. /me bites in Doener, takes a sip of Mango Lassi and does a round of Yoga.
@spaetz atomizing cultural practices into commodities breaks up integrated, complex systems and alienates the originator people from their culture. It's the heritage of colonial powers that stripped what they wanted from overseas countries and trampled and discarded everything else.
I'm a qualified yes. I think incorporation of reggae into pot culture can sometimes be shallow and ignore context. But I also think cultural appreciation can be done without appropriation if you're mindful and don't centre yourself.
