I like the hemp flag. The whole idea of drug laws is to protect people from themselves. I am sick of it. Trying to (unsuccessfully) save them is destroying my liberties. I will give them $1/day to go to a 12 step meeting. That has everything they need to get straight. Other than that, let them ruin their lives. I am done caring.

Marijuana was outlawed at the same time as Prohibition, all by the “we know better” abolitionists. Only true reason it wasn’t legalized with beer is that the distillers and bars had a much stronger lobby.

It is still illegal today because the states make so much money on seizing cars, money, homes without true due process, on the basis of drug money. Prosecutors can say, see, we’re tough on crime by sending pot users to jail.

Waste of taxpayer money.

Wrong...

Denying someone the use of their property is a taking of that property and violates the 5th Amendment.

You should be able to grow opium poppies if you want to.

Not directed at you specifically, but generally.

Supporting illegal drug use or taking no action (tacit approval) means the drug cartels are winning—this means supporting the vicious, brutal, cruel, murderous cartels. . .the cartels that bribe the meh-he-co army to escort shipments into the US (violating US sovereignty over 200 times in the last 10 years), challenging US Border Patrol Agents and sometimes attacking those agents (my son, a BP Agent, was attacked by drug smugglers in the desert and shot one of the smugglers. . .good thing the smuggler wasn’t carrying Arizona Tea and Skittles).

Point is, change the law first then have at it. Til then, any use and/or support for illegal drug use is brutally wrong.
