If you are under 30 years old, THESE ARE YOUR PARENTS. OH MY GOD!!! THEY SMOKED DAK!!! Yes Johnny and they still do!!!
Our Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 had been in force just 4 years when this 60 minutes program was made. Our prohibition continues with the same draconian law in place even though ‘these students’ are our political leaders with families of their own. Go figure.

In what can only be described as major departure in the so-called ‘war on drugs’, the Obama Administration is issuing a new three page memo this morning mapping out the federal government’s new guidelines for states that have laws protecting medical cannabis patients.
In February Attorney General Eric Holder indicated in a press conference that the Obama Administration–which favors physician-recommended access to medical cannabis–would abate from what had been an aggressive law enforcement (and propaganda) campaign against medical access to cannabis.
Today’s memo from the Department of Justice formalizes these changes and is a MAJOR victory for citizens who support cannabis law reform!

What happens when you decriminalize all drugs?

This is a video I was linked to in an email I got today. It is about Portugal, where all drugs have been decriminalized.
Although we are only pushing for Cannabis to make the list, it shows the effect of decriminalized drugs as a whole. Lets hope that the world can really take notice of this, and start to follow Portugal’s lead.
Sadly the videos we had linked to this article have been removed from Youtube

Why is Cannabis Illegal?

from http://marijuana.drugwarrant.com/
Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.
The actual story shows a much different picture.
New Zealand blindly followed the prohibition propaganda of America.
Those who voted on the legal fate of this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You’ll see below that the very first USA federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate.
You’ll also see that the history of marijuana’s criminalization is filled with:
* Racism
* Fear
* Protection of Corporate Profits
* Yellow Journalism
* Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators
* Personal Career Advancement and GreedThese are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal.
