Both Prohibition 1.0 (Alcohol) and Prohibition 2.0 (Cannabis) are symptoms of the corruption of government(s) in their pursuit of tools to impoverish & persecute their own citizens, to the betterment of crony corporate special interests and the rise of the tyranny of the police state.  This "War Against People", which makes illegal a plant that has never killed a single person, creates a seemingly perpetual conflict between the powers of the state and those that would traffic in or use these proscribed products. Reality is somewhat different.  Prohibition(s) create an artificial distortion of the market valuation of proscribed products, while the corruption it engenders becomes rampant through every segment of society, including the government itself at every level.  The economic and political system(s) enhanced by prohibition(s) are called corporate socialism, aka fascism.  Millions of citizens have been thrown into prison, and many thousands more executed, across the globe due to these contrived legal boundaries on personal rights & liberties.  50,000 people, mostly innocent civilians, have been slaughtered in Mexico in recent years as government(s) seek to control (not eliminate) the illicit drug trade.When was the last time that the importation of Corona beer or a bottle of tequila from Mexico has spawned gun battles between importers or between importers and government forces?  --------  Prohibition 1.0.  The corruption throughout society became almost universal after only 10 years of Prohibition 1.0.  What is the level of corruption possible after 70 years of Prohibition 2.0?  I submit that it is rampant and universal, a mortal threat to populist representative democracy.  Re-legalize, regulate, and control currently illicit plants, and end the corruption & hypocrisy.  End Prohibition 2.0!

i hate my life

Oh!  The humanity!  What a shame, what a shame. 

You know how it works, the cops bust a guy with 10 pounds of weed, but
when it gets to court the prosecutor reads out, "And he would found in
possession of 7 pounds of weed", I've seen it happen a lot.  I wonder how
much of this "Vanished" before it got to court.  Remember the "French
Connection" in NYC, all of it vanished from the police evidence holding room.

The "war on drugs" is actually part of the governments (all governments that conduct this policy) war on its own citizens and their most basic personal freedoms! This plant (and all natural drugs) was given to us by our Creator for our betterment, those that make it "illegal" are in violation of His Will! You are without excuse!

annual deaths in USA

from alcohol - about 23,000 persons

from legal drug - about 20,000 persons -and always going higher

from "drug war" actions - about 5,000 persons

from marijuana use  - 0 (zero) persons

not only this fact, but marijana has many other uses, such as alternative fuel which can be used to power diesel engines, very durable paper products, clothing materials, even food, anti-cancer medications, etc.... (but the usual evil doers bribed the public servants (politicians) to ban marijauana as it competed with their business of cotton, oil, alcohol, ...)

while illegal drug dealers and the people waging "drug war" - make more and more money
