Let see how these legislative acts create peace, respect, and honor in the relationship of the people with their elected government. Let see how these acts of legislation promote liberty and justice which is the very essence of the founding fathers’ spiritual dream for a country without tyranny and persecution. These legislative acts are known as the Harrison Narcotics Act of the 63rd US Congress (1914), the Marihuana Tax Act of the 75th US Congress (1937), and the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of the 91st US Congress (1970). VS. “We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.” Does these acts of congress preserve the inherent & inalienable rights of the people? How are the inherent & inalienable rights preserved by the government for the people? Among those rights are the preservation of life, liberty itself, and the very pursuit of happiness as an equal and independent person / people. Where has this elected government respected the preservation of life? Where is our liberty today, are we free to pursuit our independent happiness as long as it does not step on the rights of others? To secure these ends, governments are in instituted among men, driving their just powers from the consent of the governed. The Governed want a change in the cannabis law not a negotiation with the hired help. It is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to the shall most likely to effect their safety and happiness. So how does the present cannabis prohibition laws effect our safety and happiness. Do we not as a people have the right to alter and or abolish laws and aspects of government that we the people no longer have any use for. As we learn and are better educated should we have to maintain the fraudulent information of the early 1900s or will we be allowed our liberty to case off that which is untrue and create a better and safer America? Can the American Government continue to unjustly defraud the American People of their inalienable rights to the cannabis plant even after the lies are exposed? Why? Why would the American People let this government, knowing there is no real safety issue with the use of the cannabis plant, allow 800,000 plus fellow Americans be labeled as criminals? Why will we Americans, the employer, let our government, the employees, spend billions of dollars, we don’t have to spend, on incarcerating these cannabis plant users?(average cost of prisoner $23,500) How does taking Americans who have had their inalienable rights unjustly abrogated away from them, placed in prison, or placed on probation and forced to attend drug treatment, how does this make these folks a better person? Or for that matter where is the benefit to society? If we harden a person’s heart do we get a better citizen? Will it make for a better republic? TIME TO MAKE THAT CHANGE, TIME TO ACT! TIME TO STOP THIS FRAUD! Lets place the legislation below against the ideas of the original draft of the Declaration of Independents written by Thomas Jefferson.
