Ahh the hypocracy of our justice system
It takes alot of courage to stand up to corporate america but if we stand together, and I mean ALL OF US WHO USE/NEED MEDICAL MARIJUANA, AND YES YOU TOO YOU STONERS!!!(Not saying it doesn't include me don't worry I'm including everyone) I've noticed in reasearching this issue that there are alot of stoners out there willing to complain about the man, but there are few who are really willing to stand up and FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHT TO SMOKE! I read a statistic that over 35% of America has tried Marijuana or has smoked within the last year, yet through out several years only just over 1% of that statistic are willing to admit to freely smoking and proclaiming their right to smoke. I understand why, because of the stigmatism, reputation, and steryotype "normal" people put on the pot smoker but just imagine the movement if we all stood up and said "FUCK YOU DRUG WAR!" Imagine the response if every pot smoker in america just twisted one up and together decided to go smoke outside like any other "normal" American. Ahh the rebelion of the 1960's that's the kind of attention we should command. Not this crazed steryotype of a "inebreated unmotivated lazy yet violent maniac" that those fucked up commercials portray. Imagine if we all made our own pro cannabis commercials and posted them everywhere we could...
This whole drug war is fucked up, has been since Anslinger and his stupid secret commity and all that racisim. We forget this country used to grow cannabis legally, we used hemp for just about everything till the cotton gin was invented. We forget this country's declaration of independance AND constitution are written on hemp paper. George Washington our first president grew it along with all our forefathers and mothers.
Cannabis is part of our culture just like the rest of the world, it's been here since before us and it will be here long after us. It is not only a medicine for more than 20 different ailments, but also a renewable resource that could save our planet.
