    LOL

    BTW, I thought the war on drugs was started on the Mexican/U.S. border when the Mexican immigrants brought it over and used it after a "...long day's work in the fields. They saw it as a way to relax."
    One night in the city of El Paso, a bunch of white Texans were killed by a Mexican who was, supposedly, on the "killer weed." So, the El Paso City Council passed a low banning possession of marihuana, called the El Paso Ordinance of 1914.

    war on drugs

    Just want to say one thing about the laws and marijuana. If you say it'll never be legalized and do nothing about it, then you're right, it never will. Laws are made by people, and we, for the most part, are people, so laws are made by us.

    Once slavery was legal in this country. Eventually enough people got together and said it shouldn't be so, and after a long struggle, it wasn't so any more. Once women weren't allowed to vote. Alcohol was illegal for a while, and you know how that turned out. Why should this be any different? Is it because people who like to get stoned are too weak, too stupid, too disorganized to stand up for themselves? Hell, I hope not.

    Is it...Tomorrow....Or just the end of time?

    The reason I think weed will never be legalized is because the mafia will no longer be able to profit from it if it's legalized.

    You've got that right, RIP. I think one of the most formidible "vested interests" interfering with social advancement is organized crime, and crime in general. Though my Sicillian half cringes at the word mafia, I concede your point.

    Is that a good enough reason to give up though?

    Don't get me wrong man, I love the mafia. When the mafia ran South Boston, it was safe to walk through the streets.


    I'm not giving up, it just seems like you can't fight city hall these days.
