A person who uses an illegal substance is a criminal only because that substance has been criminalized.

When people know that government propaganda exaggerates, and that the government is either lying and/or out of touch, they lose respect for the system. Tobacco smokers are beginning to feel what Marijuana smokers have been feeling for a long time.

When government wonders why youth is so out of control, it needs to re-examine its handling of the situation. The anti-drug hysteria is embarrassing to watch. When people see their government being so obtuse, they become a disaffected part of society.

The "War on Some Drugs" of the late 80's strengthened the factioning in our culture. James Madison says in the Federalist Papers that 'the key purpose of government is to prevent the factioning of society:' and this corporate-directed crusade-against-some-drugs does just that, factions, or divides society.

The government has been less vicious in recent years because of Clinton, but pressure from the anal retentives like Orrin Hatch and his constituents could change that, throwing us back to Reaganesque stringency. Now, even William F. Buckley thinks the 'War on Drugs is a stupid idea.

People will continue to smoke, whatever happens. But if people could have reefer as easily as they have tobacco, less of them would turn to the really ugly stuff, crack, junk, crank, etc. It would also calm them down. And it would pull the rug out from under the hard dealers, regardless of what William Bennett and Pat Robertson say.

Think of this:'Getting psychedelic is one of many forms of political activism.' It adds to the planet's experience of the light, heightening the morphogenetic field.
