The worst thing about this is that laws in general were brought in to prevent harm to others. How does preventing possession/growing pot prevent harm to anyone?
By growing and possessing my own pot that I need for my own medical needs I help prevent the proliferation of of illegal gang activity. The government has created a new class of gangs by licensing these Legal Producers that are trying to dominate the production and sale of a simple herb.
By buying into the regulations our gov't has set up and purchasing anything from LPs we are perpetuating a new and gov't sanctioned gang culture.
This is no different that what has been going on for decades regarding any of the things that corporate interests have set their sights on to maximize profits. Oil, drugs, tobacco, pulp and paper and fast foods are just a few examples.
Every alternative to corporate interests is spun to be harmful by our own governments that are elected to protect us from harm. The US leads the world in protecting corporate interests over individual rights and has done so with millions of deaths for the last two centuries. Since the first explorations of Columbus if truth be told.
The New World Order, NWO, is not a conspiracy theory but the goal of most dominant governments today. Micro chips in your child, your medications, your sweat are already easily done. The cashless society is almost there to keep track of every penny you spend and who you spend it with, Pay with PayPal, credit cards etc? The NSA etal knows all about it. Doesn't mean that they are coming to get you but leaves a "paper trail" that they will follow should you ever come to their attention.
And for all you "smart phone" users that use them to upload pics to sites like this. Turning off your location/gps keeps that info off the pics you upload but it all goes into the "web" and can be tracked back by gov't services like the NSA.
I use TOR and anonymous email addys to hide my real identity so I can freely share my experience of 40 years of cannabis culture. I've been doing this for the last 10 years on a half dozen forums. On one I am an Admin and another just a Mod. I get not a dime from either nor accolades, but gladly donate my time and experience to promote Cannabis Culture and growing techniques to new growers.
I also have almost 50 blood donations under my belt so get out there and do whatever you can can to support your fellow humans in any way you can! Drag a homeless guy off the street and buy him a real meal. Pick up the crap your drunk-ass neighbour tossed around. Shovel the snow off the nasty old broad's sidewalk.
God is debatable but Kharma is a bitch. Stay on the good side of both by helping out out your fellow man/women/child in whatever little bit you can.
It's easy to be angry and offensive because you're butt-hurt but just look inside and deal with those anger issues so that you don't project that onto every interaction that you deal with in forums or in your real life.
Another dose of TMI.
