People who support marijuana prohibition have a form of hate in their hearts for potheads. This hate shares the same space as racism, culturalism and sexism. Such hatred is learned, it is taught by people who hate and want others to hate too.

People didn't hate marijuana users until the government started pushing hate during the Thirties, the Sixties, the Eighties, and in Canada more than ever since 2005. The Nazi's are possibly the most well known hate pushers, passing laws and propagandizing against people who didn't fit in their concept of an ideal society.

The Sixties was a very special time in history when practically the whole world started demanding equality and justice. Stephen Harper is fighting a battle against a liberal Sixties Culture, a group of people who dared to stand up and ask for the injustice to stop, shame on him.

The Conservative and Liberal governments are actively pushing for prohibition, and are trying to wipe out an entire culture from their society. Please don't let the culture die and help end prohibition.
