Here is a flash cartoon about a stoner living in a world where the government has eradicated all pot: http://www.johnnyganjaseed.com

Anyhow, the War on Drugs is failing miserably. There is no possible way it could achieve its goal of rendering extinct the cannabis plant, because massive underground organizations and huge numbers of individuals are working diligently around the clock to propagate it. And as soon as one operation is shut down by the government, another one always pops up in its place because of the huge demand and the huge amounts of money involved. What is going on is that the government failed to learn from history (that is, alcohol prohibition) and hence our society has been doomed to repeat it. Just like alcohol prohibition, the immense difficulties of suppressing substances millions of people find desirable, combined with the huge amounts of organized crime prohibition creates, will force the government to give up its silly War on Drugs.

Think about it this way: what exactly is the ultimate goal of the War on Drugs? It is to rid society of all recreational drugs (except tobacco and alcohol, which have large corporations producing them that the government wouldn't dream of getting rid of, and have been the preferred drugs of rich white people for centuries). How could it possibly eliminate every bud, every plant, every seed, every last possibility of smoking pot? Has it made any progress whatsoever towards that goal? The figures show drug use is on the rise, so obviously it hasn't. We who break drug laws far outnumber those whose job it is to catch us (who also have to worry about other crimes), and we have found it not that difficult to maintain our lifestyles if we keep things on the down-low.

Tougher punishments won't cut it either. Tougher laws just don't stop people's drug habits. There are millions of us who smoke pot. The problem is that we have not organized to show our discontent with the status quo and have not set out to change it in large enough numbers. If every smoker took their stash to Washington and had a huge smoke-out protest until we saw legalization, they just might have to listen to us.
ermitonto Reviewed by ermitonto on . Weed gone forever? Do you guys think that one day Weed will be impossible to come by? I always worry about this. Because of the current War on Pot in the US, what if the US government takes it to a level of getting every, EVERY, country that even tollerates it to look at it the same way the US governemnt does. I'm not just talking about Amsterdam where it's legal to an extent, but places like Jamaica where it's not legal but so easy to come across. What if they take it to an extreme and make it where possesion of Rating: 5
