After the last few months I have been keeping up with the war on drugs and it seems to me that there is a basic fix stop focusing on arresting every tom dick and harry who go out to pick up a few grams of this stuff and go after the dudes bringing in pounds of it, I am a heavy believer in Legalization for one major reason, We are US citizens we have the right to seek out our own happiness without worry about government or other people harassing us, by all means if someone decides to use a substance to alter their state of being and commit a crime against another person or someone else’s property put em in jail, rehab, purgatory whatever floats your boat, not for using the substance but for being an idiot and hurting someone or destroying something, it won’t work I have heard if you go and drink yourself stupid you wont go to jail until you try to drive or start acting like an idiot? If that works then why cant it work for any substance. This way all the money stays in the US, Mexico will then have to find another border to destroy, and all trafficking into the US will come to an end if we make the product and offer it for sale to our citizens. Once it is on the open regulated market prices will drop, everyone and their mothers will be trying to make a profit on it and only way to make profit is to sell the stuff at better prices than the guy down the street.

We are loosing our families in this war and I would rather see a family member in rehab than loose the ability to get scholarships, loose all hope of getting any licenced job, ( yeh billy smoked some dope he cant cut hair ) Loose housing benefits and theoretically loose their lives at the range of 16 – 20 because of an arrest record, not to mention the law and military forces we loose when they actually find a real dealer or trafficker and aren’t breaking into an 72 yr old woman’s home giving her a heart attack and having her death on their hands.

Common Sense is the number one thing needed in this country, we are spending trillions not only in our nation but in others as well fighting the same war and the only difference that it has honestly made is instead of the dealers selling the weak stuff now they have a whole new grade of stuff to sell. Come on America please just open your eyes for an hour enough to read the basic facts.

Okay Manny. I’ll show my respect to Gentleman Kerlikowske today:

“My top priority is to intensify efforts to reduce the demand for drugs which fuels crime and violence around the world.”

Well my dear sirs, I see the lacking of a key word within this statement.

My 0-5 felony on my record (sentence suspended) in 1998 was for “Attempt to Manufacture”.

Wendy Elorriaga was not trying to ‘manufacture’ anything.

So see how much power one word can carry?

Pot is not manufactured; it is grown at the Free Will of God.

I commend everyone one of us today. Just look at what took place yesterday…God’s Version of Tomorrow. Amen.

98 The man behind the curtain

We the People are not “Demorepublicrats”…and…as the Editor states NORML is a “non-partisan organization.”

But…if you are a cannabis advocate…you might feel free to consider yourself and all your brethren “individualists.” FREE THINKING PEOPLE.

The fact of the matter is…you have to protect your own freedom first. After you do that…you can align
with any political persuasion you fancy…and…I’m sure they would be looking for that same quality in you. If you don’t protect “YOUR OWN FREEDOM”…who’s going to protect it for you? Right! We the People. I’m sure you are a constituent. We are the sum total of all our parts. Don’t worry about the prohibs..and…
their eternal bullshit…we are in the majority. Let’s think, and act like it. “wE’RE PROUD”…AND…
“THERE’S NO WAY ON GOD”S GREEN EARTH THAT PROHIBS CAN INTIMIDATE US…UNLESS WE LET’EM.

Oh right NORML editors… Because constantly working on career mainstream politicians who make the same promises over and over then NEVER deliver is the way to go.

Right, it makes no sense to support politicians who consistently fight for our rights because they aren’t popular in their political party?

Keep on supporting the demorepublicrats. See where it gets us.

I would much rather support someone who isn’t popular than support backstabbers. Sheeeesh!

…I’m appalled that one of you got arrested for
something you wrote in a “letter to your congressman”!
What happened to your First Amendment rights, and “Freedom of Speech”??
Sounds like you’re in a truly “Draconian” area —
what next, the “Thought Police”?
(”I have to arrest you, ma’am, for having illegal substance ‘thoughts.’”)

RE:
Alison,
- From what I can tell, commenter #51, flintster03,
lives in the draconian backward-lands of Anozira,
where Sheriph Joker Piehole reigns supreme…

- I’m curious to know the precise content-and-wording
of flintster’s e-mail to McCain that won themselves
“warranted”, unwanted attention.

(Was it riddled with as many typos,
misspelled-words and grammatical-errors
as their blog-post here?
Did they identify themselves as a current / aspiring
cannabis-consumer, partaker-of-forbidden,
mysterious-powders, etcetera, etc?
Did they threaten to use physical-force against anyone?)

- Perhaps,
it wasn’t so much flintster’s
“exercise of free speech” / “First-Amendment Rights”
that got them in trouble, as much as it was their quality-of-presentation…
