The issue, the main issue, is that an entire nation was hoodwinked with false fear and lies for over 70 years and we let them do this. That fear allowed the formation of the DEA which allowed the wholesale stripping of our constitutional rights which allowed the no-knock and forfeiture laws which enriched the local police forces and encouraged even more of the same. We allowed it to happen. Lies trump truth. Our homes are no longer safe sanctuaries. Our police use military equipment and tactics to bust cannabis users. What a circus our moral adventure on a “Drug Free America” has become. Shall we continue to arrest and crininalize almost a million of our sons and daughters every year just so we can attempt to keep perpetuating the misinformation and lies? It frightens me that our government, using the fear of drugs, was able to negate vast portions of the Bill of Rights! We let them. Less than 3% of America abuse hard drugs but we let the feds gut the constitutional rights of the other 97% of us so we could teach these 3% a lesson. And in the process we created the largest enforcement cartel in the world. Even some of our rural police have troop carriers and military assault equipment now, thanks to the drug war and it’s forfeiture laws. Enough. Give me back the America I was born in. Stay out of my home, my medicine cabinet and my garden. Disassemble the DEA and put their sorry asses out to pasture.

We need to overcome the government and its whole “Cabal” to combat the anti-cannabis “dogma”! This shows that the dangerous philosophies of “radical pragmatism”, shared by both Marxists and Nazis, are well and alive in contemporary America when it comes to the government’s anti-cannabis crusades!! The extremists currently in charge of the DEA will stop at nothing to derail the medicinal cannabis program and the Will of Voters who voted for it. I wish I could see the day when the senseless and shameful witch-hunts against citizens over a natural medicinal plant cannabis finally end, and they will! I predicted a long time ago that anti-cannabis repression will lead to increased hard drug and alcohol abuse because they are not “easily” detected in random drug screens, especially when it comes to the “window” of their detection. All these so-called “random drug screens” unfairly target the users of the safest substance of them all – cannabis! Doesn’t thus explain why the teenagers “mess” with hard drugs, such as cocaine or mess, in many cases just to avoid the detection of having used cannabis – and some fools think that THIS is going to help the nation’s drug and alcohol problem? This will go on until some effective, “safe-substance use” educational program is put in place, just like with the “safe-sex” education before. Repression alone will never work, no matter how much the believers in anti-cannabis “dogma” still believe that it will. I can’t wait to see the day when these shameful and senseless witch-hunts against citizens in connection with cannabis medicinal plant will stop altogether. I stressed many times already that no system, no matter of how repressive, can survive on a series of “un-realities”. Current undisguised assault by the “radical pragmatists” from the DEA on the will of the people of Montana (and now also Hollywood) demonstrate their delusional thinking their attempts in suppression science (and people’s will) will be more successful than those of Inquisition, Gestapo, or KGB! I wish I could live to see these people’s miserable and disgraceful failure! Everything that the DEA and its allies use to intimidate citizens (and politicians) about the remarkable cannabis plant is based on unreality: cannabis is NOT physically addictive, the so-called “gateway drug theory” is NOT scientifically valid, smoking cannabis does NOT lead to increase in the risk of lung cancer, legalization in other countries did NOT lead to increased cannabis use, and in addition it is proven that cannabis use suppresses violent behavior. Cannabis is immeasurably safer than alcohol, (and most currently used prescription drugs – do we even notice their devastating potential side effects at their TV commercials?), and be so ignorant as to say that cannabis plant does not have medicinal value is to be out of touch with “reality” altogether. Legalization of medicinal cannabis is non-partisan because all of us can get sick and be able to take advantage of its remarkable medicinal properties. Let’s reject the prohibitionist fear-tactics as they have no substance to them, and legalize cannabis in all 50 States without further delay!
