Reply #28: it's a huge part of a very complex puzzle

But some DUers can't get the connection.

They don't give a crap about the cost of the War on Drugs (which for the most part is a War on Cannabis) even though they say they don't want to pay for war.

They have no idea how many families are destroyed by the War on Cannabis, and they don't care. "They deserve it."

They have no clue that in LA, blacks are seven times more likely to be arrested for pot possession than whites, who actually use cannabis more than blacks, and they don't care. They don't care that the War on Cannabis takes black fathers away from their children. "They deserve it."

They don't care about the mansions the For-Profit Prison magnates live in, while the same fat cats incarcerate everyone else. "They deserve those mansions and big bonuses for locking up our fellow citizens - and for lobbying our legislatures to increase prison time for cannabis users! They sure have brainwashed us, so why not let them live in the lap of luxury off of other people's suffering!?"


Well, I suppose then that these people deserve the karma that will one day sneak up on them, when they might need the relief this plant provides.
