you are right...but I fear it would be like herding cats. one difference is that methadone is a desired drug in that it makes one unsick...psych meds often have unpleasant, significant side effects. or people ignore their meds because they just like being manic.

No, it's not. I was just making an exaggerated point using humor. And last I checked their fusion sausage roll had not explicitly shown racism to anyone. Give it time... While Colonialism had many negative (and I do not under estimate how negative those things are) aspects, I hardly think a fusion cafe based on th...

The US Supreme Court ruled against you in the last decided case, and apparently so did the Alaska Supreme Court. You're a loser on this issue.

You didn't answer my simple question, and I never once remotely called you a name. You keep avoiding the irrefutable facts, pot was legal for 450 years in this land, and was mandated by federal law farmers grow it. It is irrefutable fact the founding fathers of this country not only grew marijuana, they smoked it. It i...

yes, it does. You keep avoiding the fact they reclassified pot as a narcotic more dangerous than heroin. This is blatant perjury. yes, opium was banned, the Chinese smoked it.

"By what right and by what authority has the federal government criminalized marijuana based on blatant lies".

When Bush showed up there were no "protesters" because he was able to get only to supporters. Trump has a desire to have "protesters" as they fit the meme. And free media! In reality he's a drug for the masses, much like Rush. They like to feel powerful in his presence. Really scary!
