WHEN ASKED THIS QUESTION, MOST PEOPLE REALIZE THE OBVIOUS ANSWER, THEY JUST DON'T GRASP THE IMPLICATIONS. WHEN ASKED, WHO DO YOU WANT TO DECIDE FOR YOU WHAT DRUGS YOU CAN NOT TAKE?, MANY JUST GET CONFUSED AND ANNOYED AS THEY USUALLY HAVE FULL, LEGAL ACCESS TO THEIR RECREATIONAL AND MEDICINAL DRUGS OF CHOICE. CANNABIS PROHABITION IS SIMPLY PART OF AN EVER INCREASING BODY OF LAW WRITTEN TO MAKE SURE VIRTUALLY EVERYONE IS CRIMINALIZED. THAT WAY, AS IN ALL SUCCESSFUL POLICE STATES, ANYONE'S PRIVACY CAN BE VIOLATED, THEIR HOME CAN BE INVADED BY ARMED THUGS, THEY CAN BE IMPRISONED, INJURED OR KILLED AND THEIR PROPERTY DISTROYED AND STOLEN, ALL COMPLETELY WITHIN THE LAW. ALL THIS AT THE WHIM OF THOSE IN AUTHORITY SEEKING TO IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON OTHERS, IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. "GOOD" CITIZENS ARE ONLY SPARED IF THEY CONTINUE TO BE "GOOD" SLAVES TO THE RELIGIOUS-INSPIRED, MORAL, POLITICAL AND MONIED POWER ELITE WHICH OWN AND RUN THIS NATION. ALL LAWS WHICH VIOLATE A CITIZEN'S RIGHT TO FREELY CHOOSE THAT WHICH DOES NOT VIOLATE THE RIGHTFUL FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES OF OTHERS EXIST TO ENHANCE AND PERPETUATE THE POLICE STATE. WHAT I DO WITH MY CONSENTING WIFE IN THE PRIVACY OF OUR BEDROOM IS NONE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S BUSINESS, LAWS TO THE CONTRARY BE DAMNED! SO MUCH FOR THE "OBEY BECAUSE IT IS THE LAW" CROUD. YES, I AM A CRIMINAL AND I'VE NEVER EVEN MET ANYONE WHO DID NOT VIOLATE AT LEAST SEVERAL LAWS, USUALLY EVERY DAY. BUT I NEVER VIOLATE ANYONE ELSE'S RIGHTFUL LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS AND FULLY RESPECT THEIR PERSON AND PROPERTY. THE FACT THAT WE LIVE IN A NATION POPULATED EXCLUSIVELY BY CRIMINALS SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISING, THAT IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BY DESIGN. MOST PEOPLE ARE CONTENT WITH ONLY AN ILLUSION OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY, AND THEREFORE DESERVE THEIR SLAVERY. MOST ARE CONTINUALLY INDOCTRINATED SO THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEY LIKE IT. I KNOW EXACTLY WHO THE 20-MILLIONTH CITIZEN WILL BE ARRESTED FOR DARING TO MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION PERTAINING TO HIS OWN LIFE THAT IS NONE OF ANYONE ELSES BUSINESS. THE 20-MILLIONTH CITIZEN ARRESTED FOR CANNABIS WILL BE A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT. WHO DO YOU WANT TO DECIDE WHAT DRUGS YOU MUST TAKE?

So,i'm dropping my dreadlock rasta black friend off after work. Too bad I's a white guy that day;I was busted by a couple of black deputies as I was leaving the Historical ghetto called "Dixie" here in lovely Dothan. Turning left, I failed to signal after stopping in the middle of an intersection (I thought it was a four-way). The deputy asked as I stood there shaking what my bulging pocket contained-he said he thought a gun. I told him it was my phone, as it was, he asked to remove it and i said "you can take out my phone, " Well he very slickly reached just a little deeper and removed my 3 grams of cannabis (in its sack) with the phone. That was 4 months, 3 jobs, about 2000 dollars, ago. I paid all my fines(I feel cheated)I do not drive as my license has been suspended-I bike everywhere. I have passed all but one of my CRO drug tests as I have quit smoking the fine stuff. I am about 1/3 of the way through the Group"therapy"(I call it gropeTHEYRAPEME. How can I get out of this stupid group and just get on with my life in California, Colorado, or Massachusetts, or New Mexico? I need weed for inspiration, not just for aches. But i sure can't enjoy it with the preoccupations that the laws cause. I also have a vertebral column that resembles a train-wreck. I don't want to get hooked on opiate pain-killers. Is this an upward battle or what? thanks for the eyes, please reply ..major nonsense. So,i’m dropping my dreadlock rasta black friend off after work.
