Come on 60 minutes7 CBS? the boob tube?
Perpetuation of the propaganda that keeps pot illegal. This benign substance actually, compared to alcohol and nicotine, the 2 largest legal KILLERS.
Wake up and smell the buds, stick in your pipe.
It's not going to kill you to smoke all you can and pass out on the couch. You won't even wake up with a hang over.
100+ new drugs readily available from the DRUG store. Hello? Vicodin?
What we need is truth not the same BS sewn in to the same old fabric of lies.
There was a bounty on hemp set by the King of England over the colonies, to control the much need plant. The King asked why there was none forth coming?
Ben Franklin told the king there wasn't enough to satisfy the colonies needs.
The war on drugs is over. After eight decades of interdiction, prohibition and punishment, the results are in: There are now more than 330,000 Americans behind bars for violating drug laws. We are spending over $20 billion per year on criminal-justice approaches, but illegal drugs are available in greater supply and purity than ever before.
Cynical phrases such as "zero tolerance and drug-free society" substitute for thoughtful policies and realistic objectives. It's time for a change.
The drug war has been most efficient at filling up the country's prisons and jails: In all, there are 440.00 prisoners in locals jails, 840,000 in state prisons and another 87,00 in federal prisons.
(Add to that 2.7 million citizens on probation and more than 500,000 on parole.)
This represents by far the highest proportion of the American population incarcerated in our history, as well as the highest population incarcerated of ANY country in the world.
Who kidding who about who's making money of the the continued policies? let's get real.
