THIS ARTICLE that was just published in the New York Times speaks so much truth about our failing drug policies.
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of our country declaring war on the intangible: terror, drugs, and yes, drugs are intangible when used in this way. They become associated with a narrowly-conceived ideology, so the "things" drugs are really just representative of the IDEA of drugs - the WRONG idea. One of the many reasons a "War on Drugs" was a disaster from the beginning.
For fun, I've put together a list of other stupid things against which the United States would wage war, if our former President George W. Bush were still in office:
"I wont all y'all to know that Me and my staff have a strategery for winning this war on..."
Hurricanes
Reading
Green
Confusion
the sound of nails on a chalk board
Wildfires
anti-Jesusers
Relaxation
dreams that seem so real that you think they happened but they were actually just dreams
contagious yawning
thrifting
burnt muffins
deserts
Isn't it nice that people are beginning to come to their senses?
If you are a young, intelligent, hard-working stoner, please tell the people around you who recognize your character that you also smoke marijuana, and it has never affected the person you are, the work that you do or the life that you lead. The more people who realize that they (no matter how free-thinking they might be) have become victim to conservative propaganda, the closer America comes to making worthwhile progress.
