One of the reasons why I love my country is that it's born on the fight against government abuse.

The U.S. government was designed by the founding forefathers in response to abuse by the British king at the time (as well explained in the U.S. Declaration of Independence). The U.S. Constitution was designed to protect the public from such government abuse in part by establishing guaranteed individual rights.

While our founding forefathers did as admirable a job as can be expected from any human generation (based on the pros and cons of all generations to date), their efforts didn't fully work. We the people, the ones who (as clearly indicated in the U.S. Constitution) rule over our government (never to be ruled by them), must perpetually improve our government.

Today, the problem is the public, a group who, when united under a truly righteous cause (i.e. when informed of the truth -- such truth being substantiated), represents the ultimate anti-power-abuse. When misinformed, this same group is wielded as a powerful tool to support power abuse.

Human beings are easily fooled by the 'part truth = full truth' lie technique, a major tool used to control our behavior.

If humanity doesn't come to firmly understand this technique, how to immediately identify it to repel it (e.g. by instantly asking how often an activity-to-be-banned occurs without tragedy, the answer usually being the vast majority of the time), nanny-state robots watching our every move and "punishing" us to protect the children (while the people in power -- a.k.a. the robot and information controllers -- do whatever they want) may likely be the horrifying, truth-less and freedom-less existence to come.

Another reason why I love my country is the emphasis of freedom (land of the free, let freedom reign, fight to preserve freedom, etc.)

Freedom is a critical component in a healthy society (without freedom, how can there be happiness?), and it is a powerful tool in opposing power abuse (and abusive behavior in general).

Sadly, because abusive laws (the kind our nation was born to prevent) thrive (e.g. the C.S.A.), freedom is just a marketing term in the U.S., as freedom is effectively defined by the people in power without enough limitation on their power to define it (e.g. require conclusive, irrefutable evidence prior to violating freedom). The result isn't freedom at all, as the word free is defined as "able to act at will; not hampered; not under compulsion or restraint".

'We the people', preferably via peaceful means, must grab control of our country (as the U.S. Constitution demands) in the name of Truth and Freedom.

Our movement to end the WoD is part of the positive drive towards Truth and Freedom.

Perhaps the public should be informed of this?

This is one case where I actually want the robots to revolt against their masters.

How can eyes in the sky be lawfull under the 4th ammendment? Eyes certainly are not "reasonable" for search or seizure. I guess Carlin is right, we don't have rights,we have privledges.

Ask any law enforcement official which domestic situation they'd prefer to avoid:

1) An individual or group high on liquid drugs... alcohol?
2) An individual or group high on marijuana?

Does anyone really doubt which drug has the statistically higher ratio of violence & death... even though marijuana smokers face much harsher penalties... including longer prison terms and forfeiture of assets... a drunk person would have to kill somebody to perhaps warrant such justice!

Suggest the following to any prohibitionist, or their legions of stooges & enforcers, and they'll try to kill or incarcerate you... and never mention their intellectual terrorism or they'll sympathetically proclaim you another poor 'paranoid delusional'... another victim of Satan's smoke... in desperate need of the type of compassion & rehabilitation that only an overcrowded massive prison system can provide!

Suggest that the 1st drug war, the Prohibition against 'liquid intoxicants' (the drug of choice of our European immigrants and ancestors... also the original 'gateway drug' ) which officially started in 1919 with the 18th amendment came about exactly the same way as the 2nd drug war, the Prohibition against marijuana... amazingly fast political actions by a radical Progressive Prohibition Movement (PPM)... how fast a responsible & vigilant citizen may wonder... less then 6 hours and no prior committee meetings!

If you're not immediately arrested or shot for your Gnostic rants, or hedonistically libertine crimes against their children and society at large, perhaps because your 'accusers' find you amusing.... like a cat with a wounded mouse or bird... they'll allow you to continue with your conspiracy theories.

EXCEPT... your lawyers sage advice starts to become audible through the cognitive dissonance dissipating inside your newly numbed skull... previously drowning out rational thought and hampering critical thinking (professionals commonly refer to this as 'caveman mode')... he's screaming at you to 'ZIP IT' --- because your 'accusers' will use everything you say and they make up against you, etc, etc...!

Most cops are unwilling stooges of the current Progressive Prohibition Movement! Cops are given great discretionary powers and it's unwise to provoke someone who may be and/or act sympathetic. However, zealot sects like the DEA are trained to react violently against 'druggies', however peaceful, however responsible, even vital, to their existence.

Facts confuse and threaten prohibitionists, and, they should fear the wealth of information and knowledge the few libertarian minded among us possess... not to mention the criminal implications the equally illegal 2nd drug war carries! If only we could get the justice dept to do it's job and strike down illegal laws... as it did when it struck down the 1st drug war in 1933.

I believe it's also long past time to start holding those responsible... accountable... for their serious crimes ... regardless of title or stature... had the supreme court held the PPM responsible for their crimes in 1933 when they repealed drug prohibition... we wouldn't be fighting these dangerous delusional criminals now!

But the fundamentalist PPM remains alive, newly energized, and enabled today thanks to her immortal allies: fear, ignorance, certitude, copious amounts of hypocrisy, and the heavy hand of the police state... so beloved by moralists and the purveyors of gods & governments!

Prohibitionists remain antagonistic and dangerous to a modern egalitarian society... their delusions, desperations, paranoia's, pretenses, and proclamations make them more deceitful, disgusting, and criminal then ever.

I have been following this website and public forum for the last few weeks. And I'd like to say how cool and intelligent the public replies are. I'm amazed at the amount of replies in good English, otherwise well written posts. With little written nonsense.

Most of the people I know that have an opinion about marijuana, think highly of it and that it should be legal. Despite what the prohibitionists will tell the public that pot makes you stupid, lathargic, and homeless, I think there are too many successful cannabis people who are smart, active, and wealthy.

I would suggest that the future of medical and recreational cannabis will be with the free states. Perhaps a mass migration of people to decriminalzed states. California is unbelievable compared to the rest of the country; with 'legal' pot stores and civil freedom. Watch 'smart' money buy freedom from military/police stastic robots. Places that are criminal free will be economic boom-towns in the future. Leaving the rest of the states to the drugbots.

According to society's needs, regulation can put the brakes on how much a market may evolve; however, so-called "prohibition" of certain drugs degrades the government's role to more of a competitor in the service of the alcohol, pharma, tobacco industries than a regulator of any drug market. This highly competitive atmosphere for drug market supremacy greatly fosters market evolution (or "unintended consequences"), escalating the production of new and more potent drugs beyond society's control and the invention of more sophisticated means of distributing them.

A good example of this was reported in the National Drug Intelligence Center, 2008 National Drug Threat Assessment. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that vigorous outdoor cannabis eradication efforts are pushing large numbers of marijuana producers into residential communities across the country:

"In addition to the reduced risk of detection, indoor cannabis cultivators benefit from higher profits because cultivation is a year-round process with four to six harvests per year and controlled conditions that enable growers to produce high-quality marijuana that commands higher prices in most drug markets."

"[DTO's] drug trafficking organizations and criminal groups, including Caucasian and Mexican groups, will adapt to the increasing law enforcement pressure and improved detection capabilities associated with outdoor grow sites and will most likely shift operations indoors in order to better protect the crops. As such, the groups will produce higher-potency marijuana year-round, allowing for an exponential increase in profits derived."

Ever wonder what these "antagonistic",authoritarian,abominations, will do, when the drugwar is over? Probably start up "the drugwar again please, one more time" blog sites.

Aerial surveillance is going to drive the drug trade underground. Oh yeah, that’s right, it’s already underground—and underwater—with subs.

Any aerial surveillance is going to fail against subsurface smuggling. For instance, one can envision smugglers who install a 3-inch pipeline underground and use air pressure to propel individual packets of drugs across national borders. The pipelines could extend for miles in a kind of drug internet. It would be similar to pumping oil. Beats tunnels. Beats spy drones, too.

The bottom line is that most technologies can be thwarted using increasingly more clever technologies.

Giordano

With all that is science, it seems that reefer madness has been solved. The medical community is recomending cannabis. The robots of the future have a better chance of going legal.. than 'scaring' people away from this potential wonderdrug.

How do you explain a transition from anti-marajuana... to one of reason? I'm sure technology has an answer....
