Legalize the Ganja

I did predict the legalization of marijuana would happen in the next 5 years or so, and I sincerely believe it. Lord knows it wouldn't hurt the economy if marijuana and hemp were utilized for their properties (hemp is a multi-use bad a-- that can do wonders for our energy needs alone).

Representatives are speaking out now in favor of responsible cannibus use:

The U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users, Rep. Barney Frank said Wednesday, announcing a proposal to end federal penalties for Americans carrying fewer than 100 grams, almost a quarter-pound, of the substance.

Current laws targeting marijuana users place undue burdens on law enforcement resources, punish ill Americans whose doctors have prescribed the substance and unfairly affect African-Americans, said Frank, flanked by legislators and representatives from advocacy groups.

“The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government’s business,” Frank said during a Capitol Hill news conference. “I don’t think it is the government’s business to tell you how to spend your leisure time.”

It's about damn time. Seriously. Marijuana has been proven to be non-addictive, and does little more than slow people down. More importantly though, the government needs to be less involved in the personal lives of citizens with activities that aren't dangerous, and those who find marijuana medically therapeutic should not have to suffer needlessly.

Red does it again.






Red is a fool. Much respect. The satire is neverending, and the lyrics remain legendary. I was just talking to my peoples about Dare iz a Darkside and Muddy waters a few days ago. Synchronicity strikes again.
