Potheads are GOOD for the economy!
First I want to state that one of the most fundamental differences between the HAVES and the HAVE-NOTS is that the people who have money and power generally ONLY know how to make money from war and violence, division and conquering. The corporate interests that are pulling the strings in Washington D.C. have failed to understand that it is the PEOPLE that make this nation what it is... NOT their plethora of worthless crap like Nike shoes that are made in sweatshops overseas. No, no, no, silly rich people.
Those of us who do NOT have a silver spoon in our mouth are generally accepting of what is going on in the world and most of us are still willing to KEEP BUYING your shit... WHY you may ask?
Well... considering that the United States has very little actual manufacturing of its own now. We depend heavily on foreign interests to stock the stores of Wal-Mart with cheaply made junk that is INTENTIONALLY made to fall apart after a short period of time. Our nation is locked into a perpetual cycle of having to keep re-buying all this crap that keeps breaking. Rather than STOP buying or at least RECYCLE the things we waste (AS WE SHOULD BE DOING!!), we just throw it all in the trash and pollute Mother Nature... hmm....
For the sake of this blog, I will try to stay on topic. The reason I brought up the above paragraph is to illustrate that Cannabis smokers are keeping the economy in this nation alive. It is the smokers who go out late at night and buy Taco Bell and other fast food. Potheads buy video games, dvd and blu-ray videos, books, food and many other consumables. It is potheads that go to work at shitty jobs waiting tables, mowing lawns and other yard work, working at these fast food jobs, service industry workers that are the lifeblood of this country. The "WAR ON DRUGS" is a war against the very citizens of this nation that fight every day to keep this "American dream" alive. I for one would like to see the people of this nation truly liberated from the hateful and anti-American laws that are being passed by the corporate lapdogs in congress, the Senate, and the White House.
I truly believe it is possible for EVERYONE in this nation to live together in a positive manner. I know it is difficult if not impossible to make all citizens happy at any one given time, but could we at least try. I mean even in this FAKE democracy that we live in, it would be NICE to at least give the people some sense of power and give US what we want ONCE IN A WHILE. I do NOT want them to make cocaine, heroin, or meth legal because those drugs really FUCK WITH your life and those around you. Cannabis smokers in general, do NOT commit violent crimes. They are NOT out killing one another for the next hit from the bowl. MOST potheads are MORE THAN WILLING to wait for a Friday night with buddies to smoke the sticky green herb. As I stated in my morality police blogs, who are we as individuals to say what should happen behind the closed doors of someones home when they are not committing crimes against other humans, especially children. Marijuana is an adult choice just like tobacco and alcohol are. Rather than treat users like criminals, if it is that big of a deal, why don't they open up MORE intervention steps to rehabilitate and help people get off of drugs? I personally can see a far greater danger posed by the continued legalization of alcohol and tobacco than there EVER has or will be from Cannabis.
Here's the thing for those in POWER that they need to understand:
I can say pretty positively that Americans would love to have a wider variety of products, including Cannabis, grown and made locally HERE in the United States. This is a two sided coin, so listen up people. On one side we have the production and manufacturing of this product, Cannabis, that is in such HIGH demand. Wouldn't the millions of smokers in America feel better if we were getting the plant grown locally and NOT have to pay super-inflated prices to absorb the costs of using petroleum to ship the commodity from another country? The price goes up even further when you think about the inflation caused by our criminal justice system as judges and lawmakers have been BRIBED into passing legislation against a plant that grows NATURALLY from the ground... ALL under the pretense of FALSE information.
Now on the other side of that coin, I am highly confident that Americans would take the Pepsi challenge and buy local, organic cannabis, if regulated properly by the Feds, and would be willing to pay taxes on said commodity, just like they would for any other consumable. I believe that people WOULD indeed feel safer about this product if one could go down and buy a pack of "marijuana cigarettes" at Walgreens rather than from some skanky drug dealer named Jose, who is trying to sell you cocaine and heroine also. Not only that, but the HEMP industry alone would thrive greatly in this nation once again if allowed to flourish as it had been back since the dawn of time before the petrochemical revolution that has destroyed the planet and our very essence of humanity.
policement of this commodity, the brownouts caused by power grid draining and failures...It is NOT just California either! Many other states in this Union are going bankrupt trying to enforce and incarcerate the very citizens that are KEEPING their economies afloat. Cannabis dealers and users are re-investing the money back into their product, but also investing money back into their economies as well. Look at the Emerald Triangle up in Cali if you need proof. Many cannabis smokers who DO own homes are turning their homes into cash cows of profit and feel FORCED into a life of a "criminal" like the t.v. show "WEEDS". It is tragic that when people are forced out of jobs due to the greed of the elite, that when they chose to be NATURAL and do organic gardening or hydroponic growing, this lifestyle is considered... ALTERNATIVE??
WHY is living off of the Earth and actually wanting a sustainable lifestyle an alternative?? An Alternative to WHAT??
I personally do NOT want to live in a giant LANDFILL of trash, waste, and garbage that this planet is so rapidly becoming. It is shameful and sinful how we treat this land, but what do we do about it? The government locks people away in FOR-PROFIT prisons. There are MORE prisoners in this nation than there are actual FARMERS that are tasked with feeding the hungry masses. THIS is a shameful statistic and the people up in Washington need to pull their heads out of their collective ASSES! There will be NO country left for you and I to fight for, to live for, to die for IF they keep going at their current rate of business as usual. ANYTIME there is a FOR-PROFIT system such as this one we live in now, there will ALWAYS be those who must be the SCAPEGOAT to THEIR crimes against HUMANITY.
Potheads are WILLING to keep this economy afloat. THEY are WILLING to buy the crappy manufactured bullshit... ALL they ask in return is for the chance to have some REAL CHANGE. We are TIRED of the LIES, the CORRUPTION, the BRIBERY, the TWO-FACED POLITICIANS that are serving their slave masters: the CORPORATE ELITE and NOT serving us, the people. The constitution of the United States says "For the people, by the people..."
WE WANT OUR RIGHTS! Free speech! Freedom to peacefully assemble! Right to bear arms! Right to trial by jury of peers! very importantly is the 4th amendment:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Potheads are NOT criminals in general. I will admit that there are some people who "happen to smoke pot" that are flat out bad people, but the MAJORITY of Cannabis smokers are peaceful, GOOD people that just want to be LEFT ALONE rather than constantly being persecuted, especially by the many alcoholics and tobacco smokers. Once AGAIN, Cannabis is NOT the gateway drug as it has been wrongfully labeled as. The REAL gateway drugs for youth are CAFFEINE, ALCOHOL, and TOBACCO!!
In recapping the ideas from this blog, I want to emphasize the importance of ALL, potheads or not, to LEARN your Constitutional rights, less they keep being taken away from you. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest of our founding fathers supported the use of Hemp and Cannabis as part of the American culture. They also wanted for the citizens to QUESTION the government and the establishment. They did NOT want corporations and BANKS to control this nation, but the PEOPLE to police themselves and regulate their own business. That is why they wanted to have the STATES control the issues, so as the central U.S. government not growing too fat and greedy on its own power. How far we have fallen since the times of our founding fathers. And what have we gained from this loss of rights? A policed state of constant surveillance that doesn't actually stop crime, but it rather encourages people to act like "criminals" as daily human behaviors are criminalized.
This has been the Quiet Mouse once again. Peace be with you my friends and loved ones. Keep LOVE alive in your hearts. Love is a much more powerful emotion than the FEAR and HATRED that THEY want us to live in. As I have stated before, I AM a patriot to this nation. I do NOT condone violence, but DO encourage peaceful assembly, awareness, and the natural way of farming, sustainability, and organic pesticide free living.
Peace. Love. Sustainability. Organic gardening. Recycling.
