Council members- STOP IT!
It is time to stop the marijuana war that is a railroad to the world's g`r"eatest prison
system. Its continuation is a fraud. It is based on a lie- as most wars are. It is not a
dangerous drug. The DEA's own administrative law judge, Francis Young, testified that
"cannabis is the safest therapeutic agent known to mankind." This Federal agenda does
not rest on the consent of the governed. It destroys the consensus of trust necessary for
an open society and free institutions to exist. It enforces eradication upon a plant that is
not the problem and genocide is not an option.
We can begin now by refusing to fund Green Harvest. No longer can we continue
to deny the truth. Marijuana is now widely recognized as a legitimate medicine that
effectively treats many maladies of modern life. These maladies are common in our lives
and will affect many of us in the "normal" expression of our lives. The experience of its
active ingredients is the feeling of well-being that initiates healing.
The experience of Green Harvest is Lethal Force and oppression. It is a
dangerous gateway that has made the ice epidemic and a working class of alcoholics.
Beer is not the wisest bud! It is involved in most crimes and accidents and is the largest
single cause of domestic violence. It's legal but what choice is left to the working class to
handle the stress of a life in the fast lane?
There is a great denial when school children must be dosed with anti-
depressants to succumb to such a bleak future. Teen suicides are like clear-cutting a
forest. The stumps don't lie. Teen deaths are now commonly suicides. Our scientists
now are predicting millions-billions of us will be starving and poisoned off the planet in
only decades of this life ahead of us. Is this the legacy you want to leave us?
Vote NOT to approve the Federal funding that is becoming nothing but a war
upon your constituents. Respect our lives and the futures of our children. Let love be
present and let its light wash away all anger, fear and hatred from our deliberations on
governing. A fear based belief system is what now rules this Federal agenda. Problem
avoidance does not solve problems. It creates insanity. Love is the power that
overcomes by facing fear. The Drug War is a recognized failure with a horrible record of
creating crime while destrcying the Constitutior. and worsening the drug scene in every
street in America. PAU.
Sincerely,
