5% of the world's pop. live in the U.S., but 25% of the world's incarcerated are in U.S. prisons.
Cops kick in doors and ask questions later. Just Medical is not enough. Letting the same f@cks decide whether or not I am "sick" enough to use cannabis, as have criminalized a plant is preposterous.
The presumption that legalization/decriminalization would mean we could no longer grow is incredibly short sighted, and really does this make any difference? We grow in spite of the law.
Beer was once under similar prohibition and I legally brew my own beer. The only restriction being that I am of legal age and do not brew too much or sell without a license.
I have said it before: THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM THE CONTINUED PROHIBITION OF CANNABIS ARE CHICKEN SHIT PIGS, THE PENAL SYSTEM, AND GREEDY DRUG DEALERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can justify your reasons to encourage the continued prohibition and the incarceration of our brothers and sisters all you want...for what ever your reasons are...Does anyone REALLY believe that after legalization, we will all be misty eyed when we look back on the good ol' days of Cannabis prohibition and mandatory minimums of victimless crimes? Please!
