I hate how stereotypical everyone makes marijuana smokers seem. We're not recreational drug users, we're CRIMINAL DRUG ABUSERS. That alone makes it sound so horrible, as if we're smoking crack and heroin while sodomizing a 12 year old. And the government does everything they can to make it sound so horrible, that they basically try to ridicule people for smoking weed, for any reasons (including medical purposes).

My reasoning: I was watching COPS last night and it was a Hawaii episode... they spent hell of time and money (a full day) flying a helicopter around looking for outdoor patches of Marihuana. These beautiful plants were budding like you wouldn't imagine.. oozing with resin and tricombs. And the helicoptor came by and swooped down and the officer said "see this plant this is lots of bud, this is where they make their profit this is big money for them" and then they took the weed. then the cop said "this was a good day today, we seized all this cannabis and we ruined a few people's day". It sounds like these people are sadist assholes because to them it is a good day after having "ruined a few (marijuana growers) day".

I also hate everytime I watch something about medical marijuana on the news, they make up some cheesy catch line ... like "medical marijuana advocates campaign going up in smoke" , or something like that.

What I'm trying to say is that the people running this country are fucked up. The original patriots would probably tell you the same thing if they were still alive..
