I love Iron Maiden and mary jane! Oh, Michael Jackson. Yeah, he's cool. (I was just wearing my Trooper shirt last night!)

Look man, if you didn't want to get raided you shouldn't have been suspected of possessing mary jane.

I love a good ol marijuana arrest. It's been a while since I last put on the BDSM police cuffs. Read me my Miranda rights and I'll utter the safe word: GUILTY!

Treat me bad, sir. I'm sooooooooo guilty. I smoke mary jane to enjoy the brutality. Front row to the masters of the state.

The War on Drugs is a War on People... or quite literally, a War on Freedom.
Who else hates our freedom as much as the DEA?? Ask Daniel Chong... Bin Laden has nothing on what the DEA did to him.


I agree, but let me devils advocate for a second. Everyone has heard of sin taxes, extra taxes placed on things like cigarettes to discourage their use. These things fly in the face of freedom as well, they just don't send you to jail, just the poor house. The scary part about sin taxes isn't the tax itself, even though it is bad, but it is the justification it then grants the government in the matters of regulating what you consume. There is the FDA on the other side of that argument as well. Lets say Mary Jane gets legalized, you can bet your ass the stuff you grown in your back yard STILL isn't going to be legal. You are going to need some kind of licence, some sort of standardized testing procedure to make sure you aren't poisoning yourself...ect ect.

My point is, harping on the drug war is fine, and it is right to do so. But there are SO many different agencies and areas the government tells us what do and what not to do. IN that, the drug war is just an extension of those things. If you still want the FDA by the logic, that the drug war is a war on people, I don't think it will stand the test. Instead, you have to take a MUCH less ideological position of "more people want to do it than don't, so it is the exception in regulator matters". That is the problem you get into when you start trying to make everyone safe...there isn't such an actual idea as safe. Safe is a completely subjective idea...some people feel safe skydiving...fuck that noise.

As a crazy libertarian, I am fine with most government agencies shutting down. To that end, I do think life wouldn't change to much. The entities in the government evolved from our desire for them to exist. They would all most likely come to be in the private sector as well, a consumer reports of food, ect. And with places like the sift and redit, I do think the second age of the information age is going to place a LOT of pressure on governments and challenge their ability to deal with challenges. The internet might unlock a democratic meritocracy in certain instances, and for that I am very hopeful. </rant>

There is no evidence use would go up with legalization and, yes I would like for use to increase. Cannabis is good for your body and mind.
Also from what I understand while alcohol is in use today it was much more of a problem during prohibition.


Ya, the "more use" argument is a faux argument. You can't make the same argument for, say, baked turkeys. "If we legalize baked turkeys consumption might go up!" The logical response to this is...so what. Even IF mary jane was harmful, we are allowed to harm ourselves in other ways, like not exercising or eating to many calories. This has everything to do with enforcing a moral direction, much like all social laws, be in welfare or gay marriage; someone trying to force his version of "good" into law.

If not for the coffee, for the mary jane that led to this morning.


Heh, I was thinking, that place sounds like the "specialist" coffee-shops in Amsterdam.
