Cartels would have no customers if the customers had liberty to garden. It's lack of liberty in the U.S. due to prohibition that causes the so-called drug problem, which is really a prohibition problem. Prohibitionists would have you believe that God made a mistake when He created the psychoactive plants. Behold, its all good.

What about hippies? What human rights do hippies have? They are excluded from labor markets, so they can't provide for their families. They can't practice their religion, which is to get high, without exposing themselves to arrest.

No, the destruction of Mexico is not by drugs, it's by prohibition. Cartels would have no customers if U.S. consumers had liberty to garden and share nature's bounty. Molecules don't cause crime and violence. Only prohibition does that. Prohibitionists would have you believe that God erred when he created the psychoactive plants, and the human wiring and plumbing to appreciate them. Behold, it's all good. Lack of liberty in the U.S. has caused the problem. Liberty and free markets would quickly cure it.

One need not travel to China to find indigenous cultures lacking human rights. America leads the world in percentile behind bars, thanks to the ongoing open season on hippies, commies, and non-whites in the war on drugs. Cops get good performance reviews for shooting fish in a barrel. If we’re all about spreading liberty abroad, then why mix the message at home? Peace on the home front would enhance global credibility.

The drug czar’s Rx for prison fodder costs dearly, as lives are flushed down expensive tubes. My shaman’s second opinion is that psychoactive plants are God’s gift. Behold, it’s all good. When Eve ate the apple, she knew a good apple, and an evil prohibition. Canadian Marc Emery was extradited to prison for helping American farmers reduce U. S. demand for Mexican pot.

The CSA (Controlled Substances Act of 1970) reincarnates Al Capone, endangers homeland security, and throws good money after bad. Fiscal policy burns tax dollars to root out the number-one cash crop in the land, instead of taxing sales. Society rejected the plague of prohibition, but it mutated. Apparently, SWAT teams don’t need no stinking amendment.

Nixon passed the CSA on the false assurance that the Schafer Commission would later justify criminalizing his enemies, but he underestimated Schafer’s integrity. No amendments can assure due process under an anti-science law without due process itself. Psychology hailed the breakthrough potential of LSD, until the CSA shut down research, and pronounced that marijuana has no medical use.

The RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993) allows Native American Church members to eat peyote, which functions like LSD. Americans shouldn’t need a specific church membership or an act of Congress to obtain their birthright freedom of religion. God’s children’s free exercise of religious liberty may include entheogen sacraments to mediate communion with Him.

Freedom of speech presupposes freedom of thought. The Constitution doesn’t enumerate any governmental power to embargo diverse states of mind. How and when did government usurp this power to coerce conformity? The Mayflower sailed to escape coerced conformity. Legislators who would limit cognitive liberty lack jurisdiction.

Common-law holds that adults are the legal owners of their own bodies. The Founding Fathers undersigned that the right to the pursuit of happiness is inalienable. Socrates said to know your self. Mortal lawmakers should not presume to thwart the intelligent design that molecular keys unlock spiritual doors. Persons who appreciate their own free choice of path in life should tolerate seekers’ self-exploration. Liberty is prerequisite for tracking drug-use intentions and outcomes.

These people may be guilty of trespassing, but what damage did they do? It only harms society itself to go after harmless people. How much money will it cost to flush their lives down expensive tubes?

Morgue (MD) - I meant that the anti-Vietnam war students (new left) were a specific target in Nixon's analysis motivating him to come up with the CSA in 1970.

EdSki, It's OK if you don't get my analysis of the garden of Eden. I'm glad we agree about the rest of it.

Limits of one ounce and 25 square feet for gardens are unrealistic numbers. A year's supply, which varies from person to person, might serve as a bare minimum, but any limits are as bogus as prohibition itself.
