It seems to me that a great injustice is being performed. For us in the united states that is that I am speaking of. Not that other places do not have a simililar injustice performed on them as well. But as I am an american by fate i am inclined to speak of what I know or percieve to be true. It may not. it may be. I'm not going to give you the history of why marijuana is illegal because that you should already know. But realistically, many do not. But what you should know is that is agaisn't your constitutional rights for you not to be able to grow or consume marijuana. You see no one cares until their freedoms they enjoy are infringed upon. and of course this is only the start.
It all boils down to money and the united states politicians will do everything to get it. If crack and meth would make more money if it was legal it would be legalized in two seconds. with some excuse written in shit.
Ahh it is against our constitutional rights for bud to be illegal. read your history. they didnt even bother to make an amendment. Nixon just declared it. we all know how morally inclined he was. stop this injustice. the rights of marijuana use may seem trivial to you but it is only the beginning. they'll take away anything they want. rise agaisnt it. in any way you can. think about it they didnt need a constittuonal amendemnt to ban all drugs. sooner or later they wont need it for anything else. george washinton grew marijuana for its uses. I grow marijuana for its uses. and anyone who tries to stop me is an enemy of the real united states of america.

which one of the funding fathers said"if a law is unjust and infringes on the rights of the people it should be broken." my quote of what it actually says is probally off but it gives the general idea. wasnt it thomas jefferson?

Why do federal agents attack medical marijuana pharmicies in california?
Why? becasue it is illegal according to the federal government? who are these people? why is marijuana so demonized? that they feel like they are doing good? who in their right mind would attack a pharmacy? There is a lack of communication. and it will take you me and everyone you know to provide it. unfortionatly people who smoke pot are known as drugies and lazy pot heads, and all together dope heads who have no use to society as they know it.
but that is not the truth. people who use marijuanare some of the most productive self reliant people i know.
they dont only grow marijuana they grow vegatables, fruits what ever they want. but that doesnt matter the dea makes more money than marijuana being legal so who cares? its jus bunch of drugies. who will sooner or later steal and kill and cause havoc upon american society so they must be evul because the american govet says they are. who am i to doubt them

What these idiots don't realize is that the prohibition of mj is actually causing them more money than it is making them. Hemp was the #1 cash crop before the cotton gin. Hemp and cannabis was legal for over a 100 years when our country was founded.

Our founding fathers got it PERFECT

Ummm.... Nixon did not simply declare anything!!

The Controlled Substance Act was passed by CONGRESS into LAW in 1970. It wasn't an executive edict.

I of course strongly disagree with the act, but let's be clear about the facts.

Marijuana was made illegal when Nixon was 24 Years old.

The Controlled Substance Act of 1970 was passed 33 years AFTER the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.

Let's blame the real culprit Harry Anslinger.

But that wasn't law...just a tariff. Effective yes...but not the nail in the coffin.

I was basically responding to the OP saying "Nixon just declared it". Incorrect!

The only way to fix this is to fight fire with fire. Who's up for some good ol' domestic terrorism?

Oh, I got you. Much respect brother. I was actually responding to the OP. I love this shit and I appreciate anyone else that even has acute interest in this topic. It is such a crystal ball into our system. Learning the history of cannabis in America has taught me MUCH; including the darkness in our society and our government. I like to consider myself extremely knowlegable about the subject.

Don't kid yourself - it wasn't a tariff. The tax code was a means to circumvent the limits that the US Constitution places on the Congress. It was a tricky (and a rather genius-yet-perverse) method to overcome Constitutional limits of power.

You needed a stamp to posses - to get a stamp you had to posses. Which meant you had to break the law to obey the law. The stamps were never made /or meant to be distributed. It made Cannabis illegal for 32.5 years. The key part of this "circumvention of the Constitution" known as MTAof1937, about having to posses to get stamp was ultimately ruled unconstitutional by another beauty of our political system THE SUPREME COURT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The ruling rendered the act unenforceable because they now HAD to sell you stamps upon request. If they sold you a stamp, possession of cannabis with a stamp was now legal.

Lawmakers scrambled in the wake of this decision and gave us the CSAof1970. The real question isn't about legalization for cannabis, it's when the US Supreme Court will repeal of the "circumvention of justice" that is the CSAof1970. Which keeps our society to this day thinking that addiction can be cured or prevented by incarceration. The masses are slowly waking up and seeing that incarceration is not the answer to non-violent drug offenders. This law keeps our prison system FULL - SO MUCH SO that we now have corporations that run prisons for profit (this alone should disgust you). We say we are free. But The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the word.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States#cite_note-RoyWalmsley-3; we also have the highest total documented prison and jail population in the world.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States#cite_note-RoyWalmsley-3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States#cite_note-WorldPrisonBrief-6http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States#cite_note-USA-7

God damn did those founders come up with an AWESOME political system. Everyone has a voice - it may not be heard of felt immediately by society or congress. But it will be heard if you are passionate and persistent - whether it be by voting for officials that share your belief; chanting with a large group until lawmakers are forced to acknowledge you; or the one man that is brave enough to fight it all the way up to the Supreme Court.

AMERICA - FUCK YEAH!

I don't see the big deal here. Injustice? When I think of injustices I think of people living in 3rd world countries where their door gets busted down, their women raped and them enslaved etc... I don't think the government not "allowing" healthy individuals to smoke marijuana an injustice. Honestly I don't care weather or not they legalize* marijuana, I am going to smoke and grow it anyways. Just like when I was underage I still drank alcohol and didn’t give a fuck if they lowered the age or not.

How would you feel if one day you got caught smoking and was punished for it? You would feel like you had been done an injustice, right?

Not really, if I get caught breaking the rules well then I get punished. It isn't very hard to not get caught though.
