1) Why is it STILL illegal?:
The official answer: Because you shouldn't use it.
You can't use it because it is illegal, and it is illegal so
you can't use it. You should not use it. It is illegal.
It is illegal so you should not use it.
The manic-depressive answer: It'll never happen. People are
too unorganized/stupid/disempowered. It's just futility.
Try, but don't expect to get anywhere. I won't get my hopes
up.
The paranoid-schizophrenic answer: Don't you SEE?!?!? The
guys at the top have it SEWN!! They own everything.
They'll never let it happen. I shouldn't even be talking to
you, but let me give you some advice!! listen... you
shouldn't mess with THEM, THEY know everything. THEY are
practically psychic, see? And the only way to get it to
happen is to become one of THEM. You'd better watch it, or
THEY will come and take you away -- THEY do that, you know.
It's all a CONSPIRACY!!!
The neurotic answer: Marijuana? Eeek! Don't you know that
stuff is dangerous? People don't make laws for no good
reason, you know! Where did you hear about marijuana?
Wait! Don't tell me, I don't want to know. If anybody even
knew you thought it should be legal -- well -- they'd never
talk to you again! Don't you know that marijuana this...
marijuana that... ... ... ...
THE REAL ANSWER: Marijuana is still illegal because enough
people have not yet stood up together and said:
`` THIS IS STUPID!!
I WANT CANNABIS HEMP LEGAL!!!
FOR PRODUCTS;
FOR MEDICINE;
FOR FOOD;
FOR FUN;
FOR GOODNESS'S SAKE! ISN'T THAT WHAT LIFE'S ALL ABOUT ?!''
Without large-scale grass roots support, marijuana will
never be legal. Every person that stands up for
marijuana/hemp legalization makes us that much stronger, and
our voices that much louder. Believe me, we appreciate all
the support we get. Almost as importantly, it makes it that
much harder for people to say ``that's a stupid idea'' or
``nobody really believes that.''
If you aren't convinced yet, Or if you are having trouble
swallowing any of the answers given, I encourage you to
learn more about the issues. Try the sources listed at the end.
If you're with us, let us know! Let everybody know, unless
it will get you canned or arrested, but most importantly,
keep an eye on what's going on, and try to lend a hand when
you can. Also, know your stuff, so if you have to, you can
convince a friend or loved one that *you* are not nuts --
the rest of the world is."
