I hope this person doesn’t mind but here’s a very recent illustration of cannabis fighting cancer:

We need to pass it forward.

Change comes when a “bright light” sufficiently exposes the false belief in simple terms understandable to the masses, threatening the believer’s credibility in front of a large audience.

After all, the one thing the powerful fear most is losing their power, and they understand that without credibility, even if only perceived credibility, their power disappears.

We have not yet sufficiently shined that light, but we are heading in the right direction.

In the U.S., I hope that the blatant public servant corruption across the political spectrum will inspire new generations to revisit the U.S. Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, to learn for themselves that the latter (which legally protects the rights established in the prior via amendment nine) is the best tool they have for change if they wish to avoid a repeat of the bloody revolution that gave rise to this nation.

No American can defy the Constitution at a public podium, so let us constantly work to put them at that podium to force them to reveal their anti-constitutional stance there.

That will be change I can believe in.

It seems when the black-market sees a way in it can find it…

Mother Earth probably wants to Go Green someday.

Perhaps Humankind had better stop trying to STOP Her.

A few bad apples have always ruined the whole dang bunch for us all.

I used to like it too; in fact, there was a cup of tea that stopped being on the grocery shelf in 1994 called ‘morning thunder’ which had mau-huang in it.

I enjoyed it alot and could never understand this kind of ban on thinking and a simple cup of tea becoming contraband again.

Ephedra is an old Chinese remedy for asthma or low blood pressure.

I loved the pep in gave me but once again…every little cotton-pickin thing in this world has been adulterated for profit, confusion, and corruption beyond belief.

Psychotropic drugs like Salvia are an easy tool for demagogues to manipulate thanks to all the superstition and mystic lore attached to drug use throughout history. For instance, five centuries ago it was assumed that material substances—drugs like peyote—could not possibly produce the mental effects that were observed. Anything affecting the ‘soul’ in such a way could only mean the devil was at work.

This is essentially the same assumptive attitude for today’s true believer of the prohibitionist message. From the historical perspective, human behavior really doesn’t change very much, and the presence of modern science and technology is no guarantee that certain types of people will yearn to broaden their mental horizons.

Did those politicians change their minds, or were they replaced with politicians that weren’t racists?

Wishing politicians will change their minds about something is not a winning strategy. You have to replace them, including Barack “jail for ephedra” Obama.

Does that include Barack Obama and his Chicago Democrats?

Lets see, Democrats hold a veto proof majority in the Illinois Senate, a near veto proof majority in the Illinois House, the Governor’s office, Attorney General, Treasurer, Comptroller, and Secretary of State. Not one single Republican vote has been needed since 2002 to pass medical marijuana legislation. Not one Republican vote. Not one. Zero, Nada. Zilch. Complete liberal Democrat control in Illinois. Any reduction in the drug war the last 7 years under complete liberal control? Yeah, blame the conservatives.

Illinois has seen a prohibition on “conservative” power (as if present day Republicans are anywhere near conservative) and what have we seen? Bigger, badder, drug war with more locked in cages and torture investigations into Daley’s Chicago Democrat police authority.

And now we almost see a prohibition on Republican power at the federal level (a good thing), with Democrats in control of both chambers and the Presidency. Have they even tried to get rid of the Barr amendment?

The drug reform community has figured out Republicans for the most part are an enemy. We’ll finally win this war when they figure out the Democrats are even worse.

Declare a prohibition on “conservatives.”

ph0ed1n – Teachers unions “don’t want no” legitimate Consitution talk in their government employee union monopoly schools. And all those government college professors (sorry Pete) have absolutely no interest in putting a penny of their pensions and benefits in jeopardy by allowing a quiestioning of the current policies versus inalienable human rights.

The further away from our founding vision of inalienable human rights and the further toward progressive and liberals we get, the more human beings we see locked in cages in this country.

And now we are going to lock poor people in cages that can’t afford health insurance when instead we could be giving them direct handouts like we are for cars, houses, and banks. The feds are giving away taxpayer money for people to buy cars and houses, but the best way they can figure out how to “help” poor people without health insurance is to lock them in a cage if they can’t pay for it.

This country is sick. The Drug War and Obamacare are the same. They’re doing it for the children to “help” when in reality the legislation only seeks to control and punish, NOT help. If they wanted to help, they could give away money like they do for cars and houses without threatening to lock anyone in a cage.

I’m sure the Chicago Democrat government employee union thugs threw Obama all kinds of money after he made sure their budgets were increased to fight the scourge of the ephedra plant. The liberals and their union dominated prison patronage armies are the main force behind prohibition at this point. That’s where all the prohibition money is coming from the last decade.

Just like the teachers unions, the prison system unions have no problem buying off both sides of the aisle and the Republicans are just as likely to be bought and paid for as the Democrats. That’s established and assumed.
