Happy 4:20



Light em up. Smoke em if you got em.

One of the most rediculus wars being fought by the Conservitives is the War On Drugs.
A war that has raped the American people of the right to privacy. 30 years ago it would have been considered as unthinkable for a cop to be able to pull you over and make you piss in a cup in public just because that cop thinks he smells weed.
10 years ago random search and sezure of your person and property was considered unconstitutional.
The biggest problem with this War on drugs is the cost. To keep one pothead in jail for just one day costs and average of $250 dollars a day.
Now this money dosnt just magiclly appear. No it come out of the tax payers pocket.. Your pocket.. Yes there have been programs to try and have the offender pay for it. The problem with that is most people who are comeing out of jail have nothing.
Nor any way of getting anything. Just being in jail makes your ability to get a job far less likely.
So in order to continue liveing the casual drug user must turn to crime. And this is no help at all. It only makes matters worse.
So the end result of the War On Drugs is America's youth imprisioned for smokeing a little pot.
This despite what oppion you might have about drug users is a Major Human Rights violation..
Why?? Because in order to win the War On Drugs.. They must remove Civil Liberties Freedom and the Rights of Privacy of every American citizen.
Its time to end this Farce and find a new way to deal with addition.. THis way is not working.
