Great News From Congress!

Lets face the facts. HIGHER commodity than oil. I think the biggest problem with Congress not passing the bills are this...

( MONEY )..get to that in a sec.

I mean ...come on. Hemp has been sewing our lands since the beginning of time. Every article I read depicts the same information, and the same strategies on reform.

Everyone shares the same ideas and the same opinion on this matter. Now,..Let's think outside the box here for a sec.
How many times has Pot been legal in the states already? The " Man" if you will, organizes and operates the largest legitimate hustle that has ever been known to man.

Anyone know what this is?.....still?....LEGISLATION. They have put the fear of God into so many people, and have repetitively polluted their minds with illegitimate fact after fact
as to why they can't, or...why they won't.
They're the ones sitting around getting rich at every angle. Introducing scare tactics, and un-justifiable sentences for an antidote of personal preference.

Sell us booze, sell us cigarettes...The law of supply and demand on addiction has created a market for greed. Let me give you a for instance here, so that I'm not off the beaten path here.
A very good friend of mine was arrested for cultivation some time ago and received ( 10yrs. ) in a maximum security prison, only to find himself embedded amongst murderers, rapists, and the worst possible scenarios you could imagine.
Keeping that in mind,..I picked up a news paper just the other day, only to find an article
about a man ( A REPETITIVE OFFENDER ) who received the MAX PENALTY of ( 5 yrs.) for ( DUI Resulting In DEATH ). 5 years?! Are you serious? This man killed someone, however, I suppose that there are special circumstances when the government is the one poisoning society. Not society.

How disgusting is that?....Really!?
65% of ( over crowded ) prison population absorbing well over 40 billion Dollars a year of ( tax payer money ) to house such offenders.

Over ( 10.5 ) billion dollars a year for salaries and equipment to house, and bust such offenders. When in all reality they're only catching maybe 10% of all offenders.

The Government spent over ( 1.4 ) billion last year alone in California to only seize approximately ( 4.5 ) million plants. Given that....let's do the math here for a second taking into consideration that all of the plants that they confiscated last year were going to bare fruit. ( Not Likely )
I'll almost bet you that the number's don't come close to adding up.

The truth is..They will not make it easy for you to have a say or a vote because if they did make that readily available to the people....I believe we would be living in a different society.
Excuses, excuses, excuses, one right after the other...

Well.....Pharmaceutical companies will lose Billions of dollars a year to poison people with their Man-Made concoctions. Then we lose all that Tax money.
( "NOooo..." Get them involved in production, and see how much you make then" )

Well.....What about all of the Federal jobs and their families?..Are you really serious?
( Create more, and Divert them towards making a difference for something that matters, like....oh...I don't know...maybe fighting " THE REAL WAR ON DRUGS " and ending what we are now calling, "public genocide" ...meaning, Opiates, Heroin, Crack/ Cocaine, ect. ect. The very things that poison society.
Let's start by focusing our attention there instead of ( SPENDING MORE TAX DOLLARS) opening clinics to give junkies free needles.
" That's just more money they can spend on Dope."

It's simply common sense. You know ...other countries are already in the full blown stages of complete reform.
We all encourage people to tell your local senator, or tell your congressman to stand up and do something.
I myself am guilty as charged. They're not the ones who will ultimately make the difference.
You and I will when society has absolutely had enough.

"Great News From Congress!"

Now there's something you don't hear everyday.

This should be interesting. D.C. is a good microcosym of urbanness to see how things will work out. If it goes well it will be an unavoidable example for national government. Of course the converse is also true.

this is a long way from the 'egg in the frying pan'--this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs.

WOOHOO :D FREE weed :D...

Hooray!
free the weed:)

yeah i love those above the influence commercials, when i'm high i swear i can not find a more humorous source of pot induced laughter then watching the girl melting into the couch or the teen who claims staying inside smoking pot is ok but without taking the risks of going outside you won't really live or something, but i bike halfway across town to meet my pot dealer and ride my bike back home so stoned!

That's great they will be able to start funding exchange programs. This is an important part of protecting the safety of many people who cannot themselves provide it. Hopefully the money for it can be diverted for the program from the unsuccessful anti-drug ads. The funding for that could be cut even more than a third in my opinion. Anyway, thanks for the post!
