The *only* reason we had prohibition is because JD Rockefeller funneled ~$4MM to an anti-alcohol women's league to start a movement against alcohol so that people's only option was to buy his oil-based fuel products (yes, the original Model T ran on alcohol too, which also supplied most of the lighting before kerosene). With farmers free to make alcohol inexpensively on the farm, who needed oil? All other arguments about alcohol or marijuana are a distraction. We have been manipulated by people out to make mega-bucks at the expense of our lives and the heart and soul of our culture. Here's the solution: Renounce mega-wealth. As long as we each hold out for making our personal little fortune, we will never have a decent society. And quit believing what you read in the news. Even this article frames things in a way that paints reality different than it actually is.

Here’s the solution: Renounce mega-wealth. As long as we each hold out for making our personal little fortune, we will never have a decent society.

Marijuana is much safer than alcohol, chemicals, and many offerings from the almighty pharmaceutical industry. If the failed laws against weed were changed, billion$ would be saved, the cartels wouldn't own the market, and the majority of prison space would not be wasted on perps of victimless 'crimes.'

You don't just pop down to the local store to get your fix, you buy it from some very sketchy people, who are connected to a larger, more violent and vicious drug organization. That is unless you get your drugs from your Nana and her organic, fair trade weed consortium. Then I'm not talking about you. Everyone else however, including Miss Stone, are supporting people who routinely assault, terrorize and kill people to protect their trade and grow their business. Maybe some day you can buy safe, legalized drugs, but if you are buying them now, you are killing people just the same as if you held the gun yourself.
