I'm libertarian enough to favor legalizing marijuana. But the
"dispensaries" are a farce‹ways for doctors to advertise and get fees for
marijuana cards for "anxiety" and other light reasons, a blight to their
locations, mostly a phony way to get the drug to those who want it. It was
right of the federal government to enforce the law already on the books to
clamp down on these "businesses." The dispensaries are not the solution and
make a mockery of good health care. We who voted for the measure that
allowed them did not intend the result.
John,
I just finished your article and I also have another thought about drugs and what I believe to be their intended distribution. Have you considered how in the last twenty years, which goes along with the financial war being waged, the rampant increase in drugs that have sedated an entire population of young men who in more sober times would have been in a more revolutionary mindset towards all of the brazen political/banking corruption and the losses of liberty that cover present day America.
Mr. Rutherford,
Lo and behold there is a statement, a comment you quote for the Center on Juvenille and Criminal Justice..."California's Criminal system can be divided into two categories with respect to marijuana: one system for African-Americans, another for all other races". Why this statistic alone explains decades, centuries of a racial pecking ordering that even Winston Churchill describes in his biography with the African Negro and his descendants on the bottom of of it in his own
continent!..." The same man who would save Western civilization four decades later, writes Robert D. Kaplan in "Warrior Politics", writes about "brave and honest.....negroes as black as coal" who displayed the virtues of barbarism." He describes the Arabs as the "stronger race" that "imposed its customs and language (Islam?) on the negroes...the Egyptians were strong, patient, healthy...the negro was in all these repects his inferior"...and on he goes in infinite detail about this
dispensation of character as he saw it in all the races in order below the white male, of course. And if you saw Lena Horne's last interview you would have heard her rail at suggestions from Hollywood socialites that she try to pass as an Hispanic in order to have more success in her career and be more appealing to white audiences. And if you saw one of the ESPN specials you would have heard former Kansas Monarch's manager Buck Oneil testify that baseball owners in the National League sent a light skinned 'negro' to Cuba to learn to speak spanish so he could pass and be slipped into the major leagues in the United States in the late thirties before Jackie Robinson was even a high-school graduate!
So you see how one statistic like a good portrait is worth a thousand years of historical truth and in this case verification of the core and fiber of intent and purpose of american culture still deeply ingrained in the collective unconscious of our majority population!
staff,
kudos to the recent article on the failed drug war.
please, bring up this subject that i have never seen in the debate:
everyone says to legalize marijuana and TAX it. why should we PAY for freedom? why compromise? this mentality is far against the concept of Life. Liberty and Property and reverts straight back to over-taxation and promotes tyranny. make the tyrant happy by paying him off?
NO taxing freedom!!!!!!!!
Once again, a very good argument. Where are the teapublicans ? I thought they were all about state’s rights, government intrusion, freedom, economy, jobs and small business.
Thanks
