I also disagree with the governments policy on the Herb and a host of other things. As much as I disagree with the Govt. and dislike the current administration calling it a "Nazi Government" is not only incorrect it's downright wrong. One lessens the true meaning of the word Nazi when it is used like this. So far the Bush administration has caused our country greatly, but let's try and remember exactly what Nazism is really all about and not trivialize the meaning of the word or the evil that true Nazism brings to our world.

The middle age prisoners will need medical attention and the nazi government will no longer be able to offer health insurance care,food and shelter. with the current financial situation in the country bordering on collapse,hurricanes in texas,flooding in lousiana,I would presume that the drug war will be fading quickly. I would not think that arresting peaceful weed smokers would not be a priority. Schools cannot put gas into the school buses,state parks are closing,but the drug war rolls on and building of new prisons continues. at some point our nazi government will not be able to jail half the country.

The only real criminals involved with pot are members of the federal government, law enforcement and some prosecuting judges. This shouldn't be mere rhetoric. The legalization movement should look into prosecuting past and current members of government for grave violations of human rights. Let's put these bastards behind bars where they belong. 3) Now is the time to pull out all the stops and actively work to thwart the war against pot. Plant pot everywhere, display bumper stickers, hold your own pot parties and introduce new people to pot, grow your own pot and sell/distribute it at will. An overwhelming movement pursuing these acts could eventually crash the anti-pot system. Think about all the ruined lives the government has produced in its zealous and mindless war against this plant and its users. Act now, and act radically. Three reactions:

I am just curious, why not a Hemp Fest in D.C. or at least on the East coast. Are their state laws that forbid it on the East coast? I wish that I could become much more supportive in the leagalization of marijuana, and Hemp etc. I would love to be a full time activitist. I would like to head up not just a million man march on the gronds of our capital but 5 or 10 million man march. I think the Hemp Fest is great and I really think highly of all those who could make.
