at least take comfort in the fact that we are part of a revolution,working around the powers that be....this is something i will tell my grandkids about... that being said the war on drugs is bullshit and immoral

HA HA HA, IN YO FACE!! how'd that work out for you, Gubmint??

oh, drugs. wait. um...

until drug prohibition stops being profitable (see for-profit prisons, the litany of agencies tasked with the Drug War, and big pharma), there will always be drug prohibition. Silly rabbits, don't you know they only want you to get hooked on the drugs THEY sanction (read: profit from)?

"The Act's applicability in prosecuting doctors who prescribe narcotics to addicts was successfully challenged in Linder v. United States in 1925, as Justice McReynolds ruled that the federal government has no power to regulate medical practice."

Those grug laws saved countless white women from brutal rapes and mueders. Its common look knolwge that rhe darker races after consuming a reefer their baser instincts take over and go on multi day rape and murder sprees. Life was good for the neegro, private restrooms eating establishment. But it wasnt food enough theybhad to get high playjazz and rape and murder white women. Our drug. Laws are.the faultn of black and brown people
