The Marijuana Policy Project has put together an absolute must-see video telling the stories of real people who were unfairly targeted by the war on drugs.

There is simply no counterpoint to this. No one will come forward to defend these atrocities. They cannot. Instead, the drug czar and his soldiers will continue to celebrate their war, while pretending these people don't exist.

    • The duty falls on us, therefore, to give a voice to the drug war's countless victims. These stories puncture the false narrative that the war on drugs protects life and liberty. These are the inevitable, intolerable consequences of the terrible war we've declared on our own neighbors and friends, on the sick and dying, on children and grandparents. To know these stories is to know the truth: the drug war has brought us the opposite of every good outcome we were told to expect.

      So today I call upon the silent drug warriors lurking around the site (I know you're out there) to come forward and tell us why the nice people in these videos were worth sacrificing. Speak now, lest we assume you have no answer for this.

    • #1 First and foremost the rescheduleing of marijuana which will make it much easier to obtain for recreational use via legislation efforts shortly after medical uses are approved via State Marijuana Programs and #2 Highighting the medical benefits of marijuana to show it is truly a wonder drug for cures in cancer and many other illnesses physically & mentally will show in fact that patient stories like those seen at, Phoenix Tears web site, are a reality to many present and future patients facing life threatening illnesses.

      Smoked marijuana medicine has been overly stated which accounts for only about 10% of the health benefits derived from marijuana. Please help educate the general public on the different types of marijuana medicines and how it’s superior to man made medicines. I’d like to legally smoke marijuana when ever I choose to do so like buying regulated liquor products but I know rescheduleing of marijuana is a long way off for recreational users unless medical benefits are considered first, the true value of marijuana with it’s medical priorities that are so important, no one in their right mind would turn away from in order to save one’s life.

      This advantage we have at present with marijuana being a financially profitable business consideration for the government and private industries will fade over the next several months as the economy rebounds. “Seize the day,” for the real reason marijuana was put here upon this earth since the beginning of time. Governments cashing in on the personal recreational uses of marijuana is a joke and we all know it. It’s a slap in the face to all of us who know it should be free as a choice and legal right to use marijuana as we see fit for our own lives.

      No one gets any more freedom till the sick and dying are taken care first.

    • Everyone needs to flood your local media with your comments and demand Mr. Charles lynch have all charges dropped! after all the state of ca. said it was perfectly legal. (More aftermath from the bush era.)
