a plant can't be patented...and if xanax could be grown in your backyard the drug companies couldn't profit from it.
besides, since the lift of alcohol prohibition the US needs some kind of war to wage on it's own people. It'll never be legal on a national level.
I don't believe that. The world is changing, peoples attitudes are changing. Weed can save the world, give us cleaner air. People would me more chilled, crime rate would drop badly. Hey, if we legalised ALL drugs, the crime rate would be non-existent.
In my country if you are a heroin addict, they give you free, clean needles. Free methadone too. They'll even provide a clean place for you to jack up in. The help is not there for cannabis users because the government and medical profession do not consider it a dangerous drug.
Yet their own drugs, painkillers especially, kill thousands of people every year. I refused the MMR jab for my kids, all of them. But they still keep sending pushy letters. Why are they so desperate to give our kids these injections? Then you'll get a news report saying that measles reports are escalating because people aren't sending their kids for the jabs. How can measles be escalating, when before the jabs most people got afflicted while a child? Everybody got it. Now with the jab, the news report should say that less people are getting measles. They do it the other way in an attempt to control your thoughts, the media are constantly telling us what and how we should think.
Media is the biggest weapon on the earth. Recently in my country the media attacked cannabis, yes WE know its all bullshit. But everyone else started to actually believe that one toke of a reefer can and does damage you psychologically. There are certain people, my gf's family in particular, that think because they are controlled by the media that they know what the fuck they're talking about. I do not get on well with these people, they don't like to hear the truth. For one thing, they heard it on the news, right.
