Then, Portugal legalized EVERYTHING. Causing FEWER addicts, millions saved on enforcement and prisons! FAR fewer gangs and thus drug related violence! PLUS when a person gets through (lower cost) treatment. They can get decent jobs (as they aren't listed as criminals)! HOWEVER, OUR "Government" says to stop the "criminals" we MUST crack down!! Portugal is simply "lucky" to have had it turn out that way!!:wtf:

Does this tell you something about OUR "free" country??

It blatantly shows me something, that should start to become more obvious to people. That is,... Your government thinks you can't control yourself, you have NO ability to live without being told HOW to live! The U.S. Government has determined that American citizens are not as smart or self regulating as the Portuguese!! (Now THAT is FREEDOM!!:stupid

BUT!!,... What our government really knows (and is acting on) is something else:wtf:. Our government is fully aware of the PROFIT involved in drug criminalization from THEIR standpoint. The FDA would make very little from legalization. Where as the DEA will continue to take BILLIONS per year. The Federal prisons ALSO take in BILLIONS per year FROM the Fed. ENORMOUS amounts of those billions of dollars, are then paid to the politicians by lobbyists (owned by the banks, who own the private prisons, AND printed the un-backed "debt" money) to "crack down" on Drugs. This all adds up to TRILLIONS of Dollars spent each year to combat drugs. While making the Banks, Private prisons and Politicians richer, AND at the same time RACKING up National debt (owed to the Bank, who lobbied for the laws in the first place!!)!!:S1:

(This isn't how JUST Cannabis(or Drugs) work either, it's almost everything!!)

Eventually (just like most countries involved in the "World" banking cartels), The banks call in the Debt!! On EVERYTHING!! (This IS where we are headed). When they (the banks) decide "collapse" is inevitable!! They call in the loans! As it says in ALL loan agreements. The Bank reserves the right to call in all debt immediately (look at your loan agreements if you don't believe me).

Federal law states you can not be imprisoned for your debt.

BUT,.. They ARE lobbying to change this law as we speak!!

I know, I know. It's all just :

An evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.
OR:
A combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose.
OR:
Law . an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.
OR:
any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result.

Also known as a conspiracy (as the above, is the definition).

Only issue with this being a conspiracy "theory" is that it's all public record and law! Thus completely eliminating the word "theory" from the equation!! :beatdeadhorse:

I can only hope people start looking at the S?1T we're walking in, and stop listening to the "officials" who lie, cheat and claim we're walking on flowers.:thumbsup:

Continuing to act as though nothing has changed in the workings of the fiscal system. They claim we are now recovering by continuing to do the same things that caused the "recession" in the first place. What you and I should do is Spend, spend , spend:wtf:! Create more debt, take out loans, and DO WHAT YOUR TOLD!!

Family farms are on the "lame duck" chopping block next week with this :

S. 510, (the so-called "Food Safety Modernization Act")
