I posted this in another forum earlier, but I think it pertains to everyone, everywhere. Call it a 'nothing new rant.'
'Marijuana will be legal once the PEOPLE decide it should be legal. There's not enough support for it, given the excessive amount of propaganda that's pitched to the entire country, and all. Many folks think it's just the anti drug people who are trying to keep it illegal-- it's not. Look at big lumber companies, and you'll find they support anti marijuana campaigns in a major way. Why? Because they'd have some serious competition on their hands if hemp were legalized. But most people don't know that, and in the middle of this god forsaken country, people listen to the asinine stories that are used to 'keep kids off drugs.' The change is up to us... we just don't realize it, and THINK that it lies in the hands of the government. WE are the government. The people lead! I heard a quote yesterday that summed it up perfectly in a nut shell: Everybody is having an American revolution, and America is late to the party.
Make your voices heard. Don't stand down for your rights. And let's overgrow the government.'
the trouble is that, many people are simply used to listen to the rich penguins and fat suits.
potheads are losers, you dont listen to that, plus all that smoke damaged their head, everyone knows that.
rich people are smart, everyone knows that. junkies are dangerous. we gotta watch out for the children, save the children.
even though the latest generations, as is their wont, have become smarter and wised up some.
we are still talking about over 50 years of propaganda from just about every direction.
even if not only from the suits, then too from tv, movies and even as far as comics.
we´ve been the badguystupidlosers for close to 100 years. someone to avoid. our most vivid image has been through cheech and chong, funny, but not something to endear us to the mostly "money and image is all" crowd.
an example, grandma knows i smoke and why (bipolar) 14 years of tried to convince her, nope, still all potsmokers should be jailed, she angry retorted the other day, still worries and thinks i should go to rehab.
and she is a fairly "normal" case. in with her crowd and in with the politics.
knowing her and many others like that, i think its mostly an ingrown fear of not fitting in, the powers that be, say it is so and most everyone "normal" does so as well(that fits into the majorities idea of "normal)
selfpreservation instinct to some degree, its like the bully at school,people either join in or do nothing, afraid for their safety and wanting to fit in.
the thing about social animals, if you dont fit in, you are dead. (or at least quite miserable)
so, basically the reason, is that people are stupid unelvoved halfmonkeys.
operation out of fear and cunning or guile not out of true intelligence.
heart without a brain or brain without a heart. (semievolved)
more and more people have become more advanced though and thats why mj is heading towards freedom.
but the halfmonkeys wont listen till its socially acceptable.
(thats why they so readily embrace alcohol,despite its many dangers and healthrisks, its traditional, socially acceptable)
(choosing something worse for you, just to fit in, is nothing new, see primitive people and their "rites of manhood" whether its in the jungle or in a college dorm, its nothing new, but the idea is ridiculous if you have half a brain)
(its like mixing blood to become brothers, appealing to a kid or halfmonkey, but to anyone with a half a brain, its fairly obvious we allready all are brothers and sisters and dont really need that stupid shit (it hurts to cut and plus there are some diseases ya know lol)
