Sometimes like most folks I get so numb to the the stories about the drug war, but today I was woken from my stupor reading a story from the New York Times. Apparently police shot this elderly woman then they planted marijuana inside her dwelling. Not appalled? You should be. This is common practice among the drug enforcement. Most times they don't get caught because dead people can't fight back.

People like this give people a reason to have zero faith in our political system.
HOUSE REJECTS BILL TO LEGALIZE MEDICAL USE OF MARIJUANA

Their exact words

"Medically it just really has no value. For us to approve a drug like this tells our children and tells the rest of the people in this state that we, somehow as leaders, give tacit approval to the use of this drug," said Rep. John Heaton, D-Carlsbad and a pharmacist. "That is absolutely wrong for us to do."

Anyone who isn't an idiot knows that statement is a flat out lie and a strike against people seeking relief or even a way to live.

I endeaver to make this issue heard at least once a month until someone listens. Marijuana is not the sinister devil it has been branded to be by our government. It in fact has been proven again and again to be a gift instead of a burden. Our very government endeavors to deny the truths that their own scientists have revealed to them. Why?

It is a question that deserves an answer. We can only speculate without the proof that is hidden from us daily ,but is it hidden? Last year 786,545 people were jailed for having it. That is a small number compared to the amount of court cases that ensued to this end. A person is arrested for marijuana use every 40 seconds in America. That sounds pretty profitable for the government. It is all soo much easier to make people dissappear and claim the land is at peace. Our jails are the fullest in the world.

The medical community has found so many uses for it that it is appauling that the DEA still has the balls to classify it as a schedule I drug.

Man... I tell you it is really getting to the point of ridiculousness when they are even making your cold medicines that worked illegal. They claim its to keep the meth labs or whatever from being around. I am here to tell you that their efforts haven't made a difference. All they have done is make you feel like a criminal when you go to the pharmacy and ask for something that works for colds. All they have done is take the last Over-The-Counter Drugs that helped with colds and mild pain off the shelf. Yeah yeah aspirin, aleve or ibuprophen whatever, they have never worked for me!

The lengths that these fascist arrogants have gone to fight the war on drugs has gone to such extremes. Do not presume to think for a minute its going to stop there.

How can the people ignore atrocities such as this?

How many of you have a safe in your home? What about a secret place in a closet or drawer where you hide money or mementos or anything else? Perhaps it's a truly elaborate hiding place, because what you want to conceal is so valuable or treasured that you never want anyone else to find it or see it.

Is there anything wrong with these types of arrangements? Of course not.

It's your home and you can hide what you want, how you want it, right? If you agree with all that, then our question is: Why should a car be any different? State Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, is well-intentioned, but seriously misguided when he proposes a new state law making it a felony for people to "have any compartment, space or box" in their vehicle for the purposes of hiding illegal items.

Why can't people stay out of other peoples business? Is it that hard?

The drug war has been one of the grossest misconceptions of the century. When any politician or government official present any condition which hints at a dependency on a substance they fall back onto that gross generalization "Drug Addiction". What they don't bother to do in most cases is make a study of what drugs are being used by the more violent individuals when they use that buzz word. They don't weigh the balance of what purposes some people who need chemicals to live or at least to maintain a pain free life, hence doctor incarceration the new fad of the drug czars.

They march on with their "Drugs are bad" propaganda while spending your tax dollars to run incredibly retarded advertising. If we continue to follow this line of crap fed to us like sheep we will end up in a society where drinking water with the wrong nutrients will get you a ticket if not incarcerated.
