A question about Civil Disobedience
Most likely, most are simply afraid.
I've been thinking recently about the alcohol prohibition... its kinda funny actually. Alcohol makes people dumb and violent, and the alcohol prohibition was ended BECAUSE of dumb violence (well, one of the major factors anyways, I'm sure there were others.) I just wonder if the government realized that the reason they ended it was because of the same reason they started it (because alcohol makes people violent.)
So, on the other hand, BECAUSE all us pot smokers are laid-back and generally don't give a fck when we're :stoned:, we don't do anything violent and the government figures that it must be working.
Ironic, unfortunately...
Alcohol, legal because people kill for it.
Weed, illegal because people don't.
(Now if I could only shorten into a slogan form...)
Hmm... s'pose I got a bit off topic... but I guess mainly just cause marijuana makes you want to NOT resist, hence our not resistingTyPR124 Reviewed by TyPR124 on . A question about Civil Disobedience Why wouldn't activists simply declare a day where they go out and disobey the law openly? Many speak as if they are oppressed by the criminalization of cannabis, however the obvious choice to me seems to be the tactics that activists like Martin Luther King Jr. learned from Ghandi. Why don't people who feel the criminalization of cannabis is oppression of their liberty simply gather and disobey this in a civil manner? Rating: 5
