Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells, save the lives of countless epileptic children, treat PTSD, heal bones, treat brain trauma, and a slew of other uses science is only beginning to understand. And yet, the only thing dangerous about this seemingly miraculous plant is that police will kidnap, cage, or kill you for possessing it. In spite of some form of cannabis being legal in some fashion in 23 states, the government still violently and with extreme prejudice continues to seek out those who dare possess it. If the CDC calculated the number of deaths inflicted by police while enforcing marijuana laws, that number would certainly be shocking and could even be deemed a risk to public health. Marijuana is, indeed, dangerous, but only because of what can happen to you if the police catch you with it. Nothing highlights the hypocrisy, immorality, and sheer lunacy of the drug war quite like marijuana prohibition and the only ones who continue to enforce the immoral and tyrannical act of marijuana prohibition are those who profit from it. Below is a list of the top five industries who need you locked in a cage for possessing a plant in order to ensure their job security. Police Unions: Coming in as the number one contributor to politicians for their votes to lock you in a cage for a plant are the police themselves. They risk taking massive pay cuts and losing all their expensive militarized toys without the war on drugs. Private Prison Corporations: No surprise here. The corporatist prison lobby is constantly pushing for stricter laws to keep their stream of tax dollars flowing. Alcohol and Beer Companies: These giant corporations hate competition, so why not pay millions to keep a cheaper and far safer alcohol alternative off the market? Pharmaceutical Corporations: The hypocrisy of marijuana remaining a Schedule 1 drug, “No Medical Use Whatsoever,” seems criminal when considering that pharmaceutical companies reproduce a chemical version of THC and can market and sell it as such. Ever hear of Marinol? Big pharma simply uses the force of the state to legislate out their competition; that happens to be nature. Prison Guard Unions: The prison guard unions are another group, so scared of losing their jobs, that they would rather see thousands of non-violent and morally innocent people thrown into cages than look for another job. The good news, however, is that people are rapidly waking up to the war on weed. Even idiot politicians who still think it’s dangerous are being enticed by the lure of tax revenue generated by ending prohibition to dig them out of budget shortfalls. Perhaps one of the most telling signs of change is the fact that the anti-drug propaganda group known as D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) has not only removed cannabis from its list of gateway drugs but they have stopped lying to children about its dangers. For more three decades, cops would fear monger about the dangers of marijuana to children who had never even heard of it before. “One hit and your life is over,” they would say, instilling this false fear in America’s youth — luckily, most kids never bought it.............

Good for them.
Good news, thanks.

Glad it's of interest, gang. Of course DARE is said to be another exercise in meaninglesness, in that it's not found to cut down substance abuse rates. Hope that's wrong and it does so. (Great literature, huh -- at least in Florida it was leftist propaganda. Been down there and watched people hand-make cigars, toured Ybor City etc.)
DARE was always suspected of propagandizing kiddies to rat out their parents.
DARE got more kids on drugs, than they every got them off drugs. Another fedgov scam.

A guy who worked in a nut house once told me they were trying to stop the inmates from having sex with each other. They tried showing them specially prepared films aimed at making it perfectly clear what not to do -- and guess what happened :-x
Boiiing! WTH did they think would happen. The people who conduct these studies/seminars/etc are pretty warped pervs in their own right. imobservation.

I knew a guy in Florida that would smoke weed to help his eyesight. I think he had glaucoma. ;)

Yeah, glaucoma has been the #1 medical use claimed for a long, LONG time -- 40 or 50 years. Wonder if there's any truth to it.
No idea. It's likely been since about 2002 or 2003 since I've seen those people in Florida. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
