you can blame the federal government (nixon's henchmen)for it's scare tactics and mislabeling of
pot as a schedule one drug right next to cocaine or heroin
that was based on pure fiction @ the time
and was done so in/ around the nixon era long before the current quality
was created and modified.... it was like HAY at that time ...
HAY!!!
and they wanted to keep the migrants (mexicans) out of this country
they didn't like what was happening in the black Jaz muscian scene where
"mota" was being used heavily pre bob marley...
but this prohibition thing...what it did was
it JACKED up it's VALUE to
unprecedented levels forcing it under ground and created the
black market
ALSO the persecution of people over it.... like the KENT STATE shootings
where the hippy's stuck flowers into their gun barrels
and the gestapo like tactics of enforcement kept increasing the fervor over it...
there is very MUCH FEAR created over
it with false propaganda (because of the gov.)
and that fear has
multiplied over time creating the situation we have today
there has been a trillion dollars spent on this and the prison industry has gone
out of control ....where we have more people in prisons than any other country on earth.....
and what is prison.... it's a rape factory where people get sent to be raped
repeatedly ,beaten, stabbed ...indoctrinated into GANGS ....
and these same people are then being released back into society when their time is up...
then they cannot get a job, or they can only get a minimum wage job
to satisfy the p.o. so they deal on the side because it's way to lucrative ...why? because the government made it that way....
they act all self righteous about battling the scourge of the drugs they made profitable in the first place.
they need to look in the mirror
=============================================
i'll never forget seeing unmarked camo cargo planes flying at tree top level right out of mexico
......that was the contra affair our own government getting "IN" on the action.... to produce funds for black ops....
they scraped the old oak tree's and messed up the driveway that i just finished cleaning with the backpack blower.... every week
none were ever caught
