"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. We want them broken". You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

THE WAR ON DRUGS FRAUD

The drug war fraud
by SHARON SMITH | August 31, 2001
RECENT STATISTICAL evidence gives the lie to the presumption underlying the "war on drugs"--that higher prison sentencing is a deterrent to crime. It’s about two decades overdue.
The war on drugs tripled the U.S. prison population since 1980--with the vast majority incarcerated for nonviolent drug-related offenses.
A Sentencing Project study released last week shows that California’s "three-strikes-and-you’re-out" law--one of the harshest imprisonment policies in the U.S.--has had no effect on the state’s crime rate in the seven years since it took effect.

There are always a few, better endowed than others, who feel the weight of the yoke and cannot restrain themselves from attempting to shake it off.... These are in fact the men who, possessed of clear minds and far-sighted spirit, are not satisfied, like the brutish mass, to see only what is at their feet, but rather look about them, behind and before, and even recall the things of the past in order to judge those of the future, and compare both with their present condition. These are the ones who, having good minds of their own, have further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had entirely perished from the earth, such men would reinvent it. For them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised.
--Etienne de la Boetie, The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

PREJUDICE: MARIJUANA AND JIM CROW LAWS

Poison Pot By Joel Miller
Source: WorldNetDaily
As the April 17, 1978, issue of Inquiry magazine pointed out, some of this nastiness no doubt came home to roost. It was estimated at the time that more than 50 percent of cannabis in the rolled paper and bongs of America's estimated 15 million marijuana smokers came from Mexico. In an all-new sort of Montezuma's revenge, the principal poison used in Mexico's herbicidal cocktail was paraquat, which, when ingested, causes irreversible lung damage.

EU Scientists Legalize Controversial Herbicide Paraquat



Brussels 10-06-2003 -- EU scientists agreed on Friday to legalize the controversial herbicide paraquat, to the fury of environmentalists who insist the chemical is acutely toxic for both humans and animals.

Paraquat became widely known when it was sprayed on Latin American marijuana fields in the 1970s as a defoliant.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH),
Facts About Paraquat

The extent of poisoning caused by paraquat depends on the amount, route, and duration of exposure and the person’s condition of health at the time of the exposure. Paraquat causes direct damage when it comes into contact with the lining of the mouth, stomach, or intestines. After paraquat enters the body, it is distributed to all areas of the body. Toxic chemical reactions occur throughout many parts of the body, primarily the lungs, liver, and kidneys. The actual mechanism by which paraquat damages the lungs is not known.

MT NORML Files Suit On Killer Fungus Research!

Fungus Causes More Problems Than It Solves!

Officials in Florida are planning to risk the future of the state's agricultural economy in the name of eradicating marijuana. Jim McDonough, the recently appointed head of Florida's Office of Drug Control, is planning to spread a fungus genetically engineered to kill marijuana over areas where the plant is suspected of being grown. Is marijuana such a threat to the nation that it justifies recklessly interfering with nature?

The only rational answer to this question, regardless of one's personal opinions about marijuana, must be a resounding "no." Of course, Florida anti-drug officials deny that their plans are reckless at all and insist that the fungus will be rigorously tested before it is unleashed - but history and common sense say otherwise.
