The whole war on drugs is a war on personal freedom, government doesn't give you freedom, freedom is a natural instinct and the constitution respects this. However, so many people now ignore the constitution that they forget we don't get our freedom from the government, but that we get freedom naturally and our government has no authority to take away our freedom. That is what the constitution is, our defense of freedom and the war on drugs is a war on our freedom.

If you don't understand how the war on drugs is a direct cause to the problems associated with medical marijuana, then you will never be able to change things for the better. The reason there are problems is because nobody is standing up for personal freedom, and we think we need a law telling us what drugs are legal and what are not. The reality is that all drugs are legal in a truly free society, and it is up to our own free will to decide for ourselves what we should or should not consume.

The government has no place in making personal decisions in people's lives, that is not what a government that preaches freedom does, but this country preaches freedom at the same time they take it away, and people like you don't even think it's worth pointing out the hypocrisy, rather, you support this corrupt government dictatorship with the false flag of freedom draped over the cover.

I firmly reject any such ideas as any true patriot should. Live free or die baby I swear I'm going to steal that state motto from New Hampshire and make it California's. Too many damn socialists in this state, need some true patriots to fight back!
With all due respect,
What about my freedom as a small business owner or for that matter as a c.e.o of a fortune 250 company. It's my business, I own it, I make the policies. That ruling would be exactly the government legislating my personal freedom to it's death. Taking it away. Your personal liberties and freedoms cannot infringe on the rights of others, that is in the constitution.

Fact is, we don't live in a "truely free society", fact is no one on earth does. America is far from perfect. Full of contradictions, I am a great example. I believe in my heart more than anything on this earth that marijuana should be free and legal for anyone that wants to use it for any reason. I am sure that is a shared belief by many here. Wouldn't that be perfect! Fact is, we live in this world right here right now. We have to work within the confines of our actual world! No matter what we think. And while I think that marijuana should be free and legal for everyone, I do not think that cocaine, heroin, or any other drugs as currently defined by our society should be. Yeah idealy that would be great, and I agree that people should have the right to be as stupid as they want, and if they want to smoke crack everyday then let them. I would love that. But that will never be reality. We have to accept what we are facing now and find a way to work with it. I have a deep fundamental promblem with anyone that is going to infringe on someone else's rights and not bat an eye. Whether we like it or not we live in the "gray". Our society has already established the things that it does and does not accept, and to simply say that society or the government if you will is taking away something that I feel is a right, so I am going to do the exact same thing to someone else? That is not the right thing. No the employers can determine any standards they want, luckily we are free to choose which employers we want to work for, or if we want to BE the employer. No one is "entitled" to a job. You can have a job if I want to give you a job, and if the government is going to tell me different, then I believe we have a serious promblem with losing liberty.:thumbsup:
