"The crusaders against weed constitute a long list of suspiciously self-interested folks. Lobbyists work hard to secure for police departments millions of dollars in federal grants towards eradicating weed. Pharmaceutical companies compensate leading anti-marijuana researchers in order to keep their customers on painkillers over cannabis, which is cheaper. The prison-industrial complex would like to keep making money on building more prisons to fill with non-violent grass-smokers. The alcohol and beer industries have also lobbied for years to keep marijuana illegal because they fear the competition that legalized weed would bring. Howard Wooldridge, an anti-drug war activist and retired cop told the online publication Republic Report: “Marijuana and alcohol compete right today as a product to take the edge off the day at six o'clock.â€" Isn't that a bitch ?!
We need to understand theres more to this issue than legalization of cannabis. We must be aware of foods that we eat. A lot of products may look harmless with animal mascots but they are packed with poisons and massive amounts of sugar, chemicals. All commercial babyfood is basically poison I shit you not, please research GMOs. Aside from just GMOs we must pay attention to technological advances the government may use on us. Everything that appears safe is harmful. The material and dye on your clothes can seep through your skin on a tiny scale, shampoos we apply directly to our scalps! All the litter in the ocean seems to be of no concern, what about the animals and plants we are "murdering" Care for the planet and each other, don't just fight for the right to get high.
Things like this is why I really don't like the American government. It's not even the "American" people's government any more, the corporations run this country now and have for a long time.
It does suck that our government is not interested in what we think. Its also pretty damn scary how far we are into nazi state an most people have absolutely no clue. Im personally not interested in someone deciding whats best for me. Scary, scary shit man
