The War On Drugs has elevated the price of pot to
the level where it has become the number one cash crop in America.
This is America, and like it or not our
world and Capitalist culture runs on money. Keeping marijuana illegal is
what fuels the insanity of what we call "The War on Drugs". It keeps prices high and crooks in business.
Look to those that fight this plant the most. They all have dollar signs
in their eyes and money dribbling from their overflowing pockets. Morality, fear and self righteousness spews and flows from their mouths.
Your Government
is at the head of the pack. The US Government garners the highest profit of all in the form of your tax dollars spent on the drug war. Taxes on a legal marijuana market would be chump change compared to what they make now.
Next
are the black market dealers.
The medical marijuana dispensaries, being the most vulnerable
to both of the above, fight for whats left of the dollars at the bottom
of the pole.
A plant is just a plant. There is beauty and hope in nature.
Profit
and Greed have made something ugly out of one of natures
greatest gifts to man.
