We are all born free these rules are just a fabrication. Philosophy aside, these drug laws are designed to strip you of your freedom, you smoke a joint, realize you're being fucked, then all of a sudden your busted, and now a felon who can't vote.

They can take your kids, your car, your home, and even shoot your dog. All for a plant, I agree with you it hardly feels free. Right now democracy is broken, and whenever the war on drugs ended it will be considered a dark age equal to alcohol prohibition.

Weed is infact illegal because it grows everywhere. Even in closet in Siberia, so of course they can't make much profit on it. An ounce of weed would be so cheap without the schedule I classification, which likens it to heroin.

Want the laws changed? Get involved in politics, even on a small scale it'll help. Find out who represents our cause in your state and work for them. We have to get these bastards out of office if we want to make any difference. Get the lesser criminal elected.

It's obvious this administration does not care about protests, and it doesn't mean we should stop. However, I think more can be done from the inside and getting the right people elected will certainly help. The DEA is fucking with voters in Colorado, and all kinds of facist shit.

They want you to feel hopeless in the system so they can finish destroying it. Don't let them turn us into China, because this barely feels like America anymore. No we don't have conscription or harvest the organs out of our prisoners, but give them time.

They already use US prisoners for cheap labor like sewing jeans at 45 cents an hour. Imagine a lot of non-violent recidivist potheads sewing jeans for spoiled rich kids, because it's a reality.

Join NORML. Do something, because bitching on the internet doing nothing is exactly the problem. I'll admit I was never to active, but the more I learned about this war the more I had to be an activist.

Soon the war on drugs and the war on terror will be one, and people will still just be bitching on the internet on how much shit sucks. Meanwhile the wealthy 1% get their jeans and made cheap, and pass a little profit to the politicians and prison contractors.
