Shades of "Reefer Madness".
Decriminalize pot, they will smuggle something else.
I Agree with RawFoodLiberty: The Union
The Union is a documentary that askes and answers some very good questions about the war on cannabis.
This war on drugs seems to catch up with law enforcement repeatedly who throughout the history has found not just officers, but entire police departments, such as Rampart Street in Los Angles, corrupted with the officers being THE GANG controlling drugs, propstitution and arms dealing. In reading the story, my first thought, please forgive me, but my first thought is this is the work of the War on Drug authorities who are giving lessons, as if that is what drug cartels do as often as the police.
We have a MAJOR problem witrh police brutality and much of it has to do with how society is set up with this war on drugs, making police act like military, and citizens treated as if they are THE ENEMY, and when that ENEMY is making ALLOT of money off illegal d4rugs, which with 50 million users of marijuana, that's twice as many people on anti-depressants, we're talking about a HUGE HUGE market. No wonder the police join the crooks. What do they or anyone have to lose?
For these kids that were assassinated.. what is the message? Police catch you, they will shoot you, because they have NOTHING to lose, especially of some wetbacks from Mexico, when our jails are overcrowded, and here in CA, rumored jail conditions from overcrowding are below UN standards (that's shamefull!).
I think it's a losuy story, with a lousy message, and will not stop one kid from trying marijuana. It might encourage more violence, after all, that is what was really wrong with the picture. Marijauna does not cause violent reaction or action. Greed does. It wasn't amrijuana that got those kids killed. It was greed, hatred and having a war on drugs in the first place.
END THE WAR ON DRUGS DECRIMINALIZE NOW!
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul
I wish it were so easy LL
Thank you for the kind and generous comment. I'm sorry about my poor spelling.. I think of it as a trademark.
I have voted for Ralph Nader the past four elections, not because I agreed with him 100%, but because I saw his fight, as a citizen, a public citizen, an educated public citizen, against corporate and government corruption of the US Constitution.
People asked Nader frerquently why he didn't get into politics before 1992. He responds that he saw a need for a engaged citizenry.. for people to be organized. With that Nader established Public Interest Research Groups, PRIGS... Nader felt he would have been limited by going into government. He began running for president when he was told by the Federal Elections Commi8ssion that to count ballots, he must be on the ballot. You know, Nader established over 80 federal laws and acts without being in the government?
This has always inspired me, because I understand there is much I can do as a public citizen who is educated and engaged. Joining the rEVOLution has been a very interesting time, but it's very hard to open conservatives minds to the secular genius of Ralph Nader, as they are prejudiced from past MSM anti-Nader propeganda... of course these companies have all been bailed out now... which is not what Nader would have done.
None the less, If I had the money and connections, I would buy a seat on a board of supes of the county. I think that's where the real local action is and where a person can really accomplish something.
Thank you again for your possitive expression!
WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

The writer gives every
The writer gives every example of why pot and drugs should be legalized or at least decriminalized and then falters at the conclusion.
Just another lame blurb by
Just another lame blurb by someone who doesn't understand liberty and is too dense to see his example of kids being shot is due to drug illegality.

Documentary Review: The Union – The Business Behind Getting High
http://www.themarijuanaobserver.com/2009/03/documentary-revi...
(It's long movie 1 hour 44 minutes, but well done.)
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

Hey,
I watched that about a week back. Very well done, but no information that anyone involved in the legalization movement doesn't already know. On the other hand, it's probably good for a few converts.
Yes, a movie for "awakening".
It has history, and is very candid about communities that grow cannabis.
Do you have some suggestions for other videos?

Jeez. More doltishness in print...
By reading the comments on this one it is painfully apparent that the readers are stuck firmly in the nanny state mud. The author rails against marijuana as if the problems of illegality and black markets are the problems of marijuana itself instead of the economics involved with illegality itself. He believes and fears that legalizing it would only make these gang deaths more common place and endanger himself and the rest of us...
Looking at his picture, I can see that he won't be with us much longer anyways and it seems that his time would be better spent on the prohibition of hamburgers and donuts for they are far more dangerous to individual safety than people doing a few bong hits at the football game. They are certainly what will kill him...and probably soon.

Does he mean the...
consequences that were legal in America until the 1930's? I like how all this angst is laid out as if pot, or hemp if you like, never existed in society; as if this is some modern clash of man and drug (of course aren't all things drugs - chemical compounds and minerals in some arrangement) and not a relationship that is as old as recorded history itself. Yeah, man has a "new" enemy, his old friend, called "the twisted truth of things"
