I was just watching a video on YouTube, a news piece from (I think) Canada reporting on marijuana smuggling.

The blatant lies and scare tactics that are used to keep marijuana illegal at first made me mad. Mad that people could be so ignorant or greedy or corrupt as to prevent the lawful use of this plant for medicinal or recreational means.

Then I stopped feeling mad and just felt overwhelming despair over the whole thing. To think we have come so far as a species to this point, yet somehow managed to be ass-backwards in recent years.

I am more and more considering the desire I feel to live in another country besides America. The fascism of the new millennium.
