does any one here no the history of how pot became illegal in the USA? this is how it was explained to me:

first the gov't started taxing the farmers and the buyers to the point that it became unprofitable to grow harvest and sell there by making a plant only to be used by the "mexican and negros". that was when it became a racial issue and instepped henry j. bringing the whole thing to a head by making people beleive that they were going to be attacked and their daughters raoed by pot heads. then its made illegal.

in a nutshell

what im getting at is this it all started with taxation. last week a 65 cent per pack tax was placed on cigerattes. the end of the month LA congress is trying to put a 1 dollars sales tax on cigerettes that will make a pack of smokes here almost $6. now i know alot of people here may be nonsmokers and i respect that. but lets see this will be one more plant that is on its way to being outlwed by the feds. my mom dont smoke pot but she dont want it illegal either, get it.? if i want to have a cigerette by god i should be able to. but it all starts with a tax.

now let me ask this: right now taxes on cigerrtettes are almost $4 a pack say 1 million people smoke a pack a day. thats $4,000,000 a DAY in taxes. multiply that by 7 now multiply that by 52. what a little over $1.4 billion annualy and that only averaged at 1 million pack a day smokers. theres probly somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 million in the country.
now ask yourself this 300 million total, a huge tax burden taken on by only 70 million. when all of us decide that it to much to pay where will the gov't recoup its lost revanue?

get my point?
