Most people do not have occasion in their daily affairs to worry about dealing with the law, but now, as the invasion of civil liberties is reaching a fever pitch for national security, people are being subjected to more and more and finally starting to see what peaceful pot smokers have known for years. The system is hypocritical, biased, selective and no longer representative of the people, or the ideals of this nation.
It is maddening to examine a vegetable, a plant that grew, and still grows naturally around the world, and then imagine a logical, reason how our system could possibly build a case to outlaw "it" because "we" can't be trusted of our own volition to be "allowed" to use it in any way, shape or form. This becomes a more ridiculous folly for those who seek logic, as they research and investigate the origins of its illegalization. The documentable proof, the "evidence" used to build its entire foundation was racism, fear mongering, and outright LIES. Its effects have been repeatedly proven to be nothing comparable to the "claimed" effects its opponents claim to be fact. This all happened in 1937, and here you can check out some excerpts from the major promoter of criminalization, Harry Anslinger.
The following are excerpts of Mr. Anslinger's testimony before a Senate hearing on marijuana in 1937:
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races."
"Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death."
"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."
"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."

The entire outlawing of a substance because intelligent people can't be trusted, is a flawed, nanny government ideology.
