AlterNet: end of the drug war in progress

If the Founding Fathers were still alive, they'd probably just be clawing away at the insides of their coffins.

if America's founding fathers were alive they wouldn't want drugs illegal, especially hemp and mushrooms-and ergot. The irony in the entire story is that the illuminati, the Sons of Liberty, and other foundations in American history have secretly tried to steer the course of our society into a psychedelic streamlined culture. Just imagine the fourth of July, and secretly what the celebration has meant to countless leaders-a pschedelic vision. We're going there I just think about Obama listening to Jay-Z and working out in the morning-thinking about weed and the struggles of the people. I love it a hip hop prez for real. Check it too he's really looking to Green Washington which we might as well start calling "Washington OG" as in DC. Quote me on that. Gil himself made a statement that was completely unbiased(the news media slanted it as negetive as they could) about teens using marijuana more than other drugs. He's overseen the largest Cannabis rally in the world, plus the largest event in Seattle, for years and everyone knows everyone there is stoned-even the cops who volunteer...that's why they volunteer;) Seattle cops aren't drug tested, and they are next to SF and the bay by far the coolest most real down to earth officers you'll ever encounter-it's been a complete tragedy to see the recent terrorism against the Puget Sound Police and the live lost and many hearts broken. Respect. I think what Gil sees at Hempfest is that kids might go there and get stoned in the summer, and afterwards everone goes home and downtown slows down. No arrests, fights, deaths, amongst teens or anyone else. Yet every year all across the country come graduation drunk driving fatalities amongst teens is always at it highest. Maybe this new group Moms for Pot Smoking will encourage pot smoking at graduation instead of alcohol:) It's 2010 peeps we're gonna turn this ship around. It's time for HEMP as it sounds like they're bagging corn and going for algae and "other crops" as they put it right now. There's only one crop that can do it all, right? HEMP- eat it for the best effects. Flowers and seeds.

I think anyone who thinks the sky is going to fall because drugs are decriminalized is not the type of person who cares about evidence or logical arguments

Terrific article. And I agree, 2009 will be remembered as a watershed year in Drug Reform policy.
