It's no accident that people are afraid of marijuana and hemp.
The film toured around the country for many years - often being re-edited and re-titled ("Tell Your Children", "Dope Addict", "Doped Youth", "Love Madness", "The Burning Question"). It was re-discovered in the early 1970s by NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and screened again as an example of the government's demonization of marijuana.

Marijuana Arrests at Record Level
Figures released by the FBI the week of September 20, 2006 showed marijuana arrests are at an all time high. More than seven-hundred eighty thousand people were arrested in 2005 for marijuana violations. That?s over forty percent of all drug arrests in the United States. Almost nine in ten were arrested for possession. Allen St. Pierre of NORML - The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws said: "Arresting hundreds of thousands of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly needlessly destroys the lives of otherwise law abiding citizens? It makes no sense to continue to treat nearly half of all Americans as criminals for their use of a substance that poses no greater health risks than alcohol or tobacco.?
And people wonder why we can't afford the art department at their local school. Imagine if we invested all the money we waste on the WAR ON DRUGS in our schools, our hospitals and other essential services.
We don't just fight the WAR ON DRUGS in America, we do it all over the world. CAMP in Jamaica and our soldiers in the jungles of Columbia are just two examples. Hello, tap tap. Is this thing on? Is anyone else getting it? Am I wrong?
I'm reminded of a poem:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
No more wars period.Marijuana Arrests at Record Level

Ever eat major brands of bread, crackers or cereal? Canned soups or frozen dinners? If so, there's a good chance you're ingesting genetically engineered soy, courtesy of chemical companies such as Monsanto. And if this is the first time you're hearing about it, it's because the U.S. government has allowed genetically modified organisms to be released into our food without adequate labeling or testing
So, has anyone figured out yet that I like Greenpeace?Ever eat major brands of bread, crackers or cereal? Canned soups or frozen dinners? If... more
