FREEDOM OF CHOICES

Dean Kuipers's "The Strange Seedy Case of Marc Emery, Canadian" [Cover story, Sept. 22] illustrates the inquisitorial quality of our government's global crusade against God's cannabis plant and its users.

I recall another instance when a government similarly sought to render its self-proclaimed "justice" upon persons outside its jurisdictional bounds, and that was when a churchgoing German one did that to non-German Jews. The Rome-based Inquisition was another extra-national adjudicative effort conducted under the guises of "honorable" and "legal" proceedings. Similar forces dispossessed and murdered our own falsely maligned peace-pipe-sharing Native American forebears to reservations, Indian gaming, riverboat casinos, multi-state lotteries, and incessantly televised celebrity poker contests. The same antinomians literally enslaved our similarly maligned American black citizens, before subsequently "gracing" them ( and us ) with segregation, lynching, disenfranchisement, unequal opportunity, and a judicial swap of Clarence Thomas for the late and honorable Justice Thurgood Marshall.

And the same proselytizing forces rehearsed for this cannabis prohibition by falsely maligning and then prohibiting the moderate, personal, and private cultivation and use of God's opium poppies. I'm just saying that there was nothing wrong with grandma making you a little homegrown opium tea when your pain, insomnia, or creative whimsy required a little amelioration.

Such tender loving care enriched humanity and culture for millennia before the Roosevelts, Bushes, and overwhelming Christianizing media machines dictated that they and their pharmaceutical trust fund selves knew better.

The prohibitionists disingenuously blur the notions of unreasonable abuse and reasonable use in order to propagate the outrageous lie that there is no difference between the use and abuse of cannabis. But, there is a difference between the use and abuse of cannabis, just as there is a difference between the use and abuse of discretion, process, power, firearms, matches, forks and knives, solvents, privilege, religion ( including Christianity ), alcohol, free time, fatty foods, antibiotics, steroids, coffee and chocolate, opium poppies, sweeteners, over-the-counter and prescription medications, salt, and so on. Each of these entities can be abused. But that fact does not justify prohibiting the use of any one of them.

History and reason, thus, also serve to illustrate that our "American" government's unconstitutionally sought extradition of heroic Canadian Marc Emery reflects the extent to which the cannabis prohibition is immoderate, inherently wrong, and outright evil.

[Sir Les]

Let us not forget the cigarettes they sell and tax for a gain!
The lies they tell to get what they want, control of the other nations!
By opressing them and taking away their right to a healthy landscape!

Marijuana is a filtering agent! (living entity)
It needs to be planted every so often to restore to the soil needed nutrients, and mycelium when composted!
Thus we will eventually find the natural way is best for all nations!

It needs more research?
I think enough truth has been brought forth to defend the plants benefits!
It makes a peaceful vibration in my closet, but I want that outside in nature, where it belongs!
