HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 7, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think all drugs should be legalized then we could reduce the prison population by half. Whose body is it anyway? Does the State own your body. Should they be able to tell you what you can put into it? Alcohol is legal and we know it destroys lives, but Uncle Sam gets a "healthy" tax from it. Tobacco is legal and it kills but the government gets a big tax. Living in a police state is not all it is cracked up to be. Our founding fathers took opium when their backs hurt. Why not follow in their footsteps. If it is good enough for Jefferson, Franklin and Washington it it good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Government wants us all to believe we are their children; that we would be lost without their protection, so we allow them to rule us instead of serve us; we trade our freedom for the false security they offer; for no one but ourselves should govern our own body and soul. ~Wings USAF 1980-1986, 70% SC PTSD, 100% TDIU (P&T) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 7, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 7, 2008 Wings It is a false sense of security. Those who feel secure have just been lucky so far. The police state is here to protect those who serve it and benefit from it. The rest of us are just in the way. The security state protects the 5% that own 80% of everything.

william n Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I believe the officials would legalize it in a minute if they could find a way to Tax it...But when u can throw a bunch of seeds out ur window, so to speak, they have no idea how much ur producing and how to Tax that amount. Just my take. William william Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 8, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 8, 2008 It is easier to hide pot plants than to hide a moonshine still. You know a lot of the old moonshiners now grow pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infentrad Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 It’s a big business for Uncle Sam to keep drugs illegal. Half the DEA business comes from marijuana busts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
