In other words, take away my right to free speech, or to own a gun, and those will become the center of my universe. It's all a matter of personal freedom, freedom from fear.

Criminalize basil, and basil becomes the center of my universe. It's just a fuggin plant.

I abused alchohol for years, very dangerously, finally waking up in the psycho ward one Monday morning, having slept for 36 hours straight. BA was 2.7, which is bad for my size.

I can smoke all the ganja I want, and never once lose control. Well, that's not true if I have ice cream in the house.

Anyhow, I still drink socially, once or twice a month, and can shut it off before I start stripping neked and running around trying to start shit on fire.

All plants should be legal for private cultivation. From opium to coca, to mushrooms and yage. If someone wants to grow a ten pounds and give five away to friends, this should be totally legal and non-taxed. The government has been and always will be the enemy of the farmer, especially the self-sufficient farmer. (Oh yer dreamin dizz,)

Whatever. The human mind seeks out altered states from the very begining (kids spinning around dizzy) to provide a dicotomy of waking consciousness. I'm high on life almost all the time, I use weed to get higher. 15 minutes of yogic breathing works sometimes too.

Although I haven't been able to for months, I smoke it everyday. One could even say religiously. Whatever. It's an arrogant
opression my basic human rights, and as long as the pressure is there, I will fight to completely legalize hemp and cannabis. I only hope that for every pot smoker who thinks criminalization is justified, 2700 others can relate to what I'm saying.

An example of what my argument for alcohol vs. weed. Good story, brother.
