Diana - Yeah, David Knight brings this up constantly - They needed an amendment to the Constitution to ban alcohol, but they ban all kinds of substances as a matter of course. Where do they get this power from?

I will say that I've seen what heroin, cocaine and meth, and oxycontin (and other strong opiates), have done, and those do need to be controlled. Moist people can't handle them, they become heavily addicted in a short period of time, and those drugs have terrible acute and long-term health effects. Which the people end up paying the bill for, as well as the increased crime - thefts to pay for the drugs, and violent crimes. But getting an actual prison sentence for marijuana, there's no justification.

Maybe Cathy O' Brien was telling the truth about trauma-based mind control. She said that pot was the only drug the the sex slaves for VIPs couldn't have. It turns out that the native cannabinoid receptors are involved in the "extinction of aversive memories". Which wouldn't be a good thing for the slavers.

"What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see or take into my body as long as I don't harm another human being whilst on this planet? And for those of you having a little moral dilemma on how to answer this, I'll answer for you. None of your f***ing business." - Bill Hicks

JR - I can't help it, but it really pisses me off that the government thinks it should have control over a naturally growing plant and have the right to tax it's use.  It's the principle.

Of course, Diana. But, until the revolution comes, I'll take what I can get on this issue.

They need to decriminalize, not legalize.  Legalization means the government gets to control and tax the crap out of distributors.  "In California, a tax of $9.25 an ounce is levied on marijuana flower, along with $2.75 an ounce on cannabis leaves. There's also a 15% excise tax on the price of the product, along with state and local taxes. Altogether, this could work out to a tax rate of up to 45% passed along to the consumer. Mind you, that doesn't include the cost of licensing and permitting, rent, and other expenditures that the legal supply chain needs to abide by to even sell marijuana."   www.fool.com/investing/2018/09/16/black-market-marijuana-is-a-big-p...
