      You'd probabaly be surprised by the number of successful law
      enforcement officers, lawyers, judges, doctors, dentists, bankers,
      computer scientists, commodity traders, and NURSES who smoke pot now
      and then, for recreational purposes.
      Would you characterize them as irrsponsible ?   I don't think so.
      There's a lot of hypocracy involved in the demonization of certain
      drugs, because its immensely more profitable to people on both side
      of the industry: production and suppression.   Its ALL ABOUT MONEY,
      not morals, not justice, and not health.
      The prison industry is the MOST profitable industry outside of
      gambling - where the military industrial complex is shrinking due to
      the collapse of Communism, the slack is being taken up by the
      prison-industrial complex - the same one Eisenhowe warned us about.
      As long as we criminalize medicinal herbs, we can continue to fill
      jails with harmless lawbreakers.  Good for Wall street.  Bad for
      our health, as more and more natural substances are criminalized
      along with marijuana, mescaline, and other natural psychoactive
      herbs.
      Good for crooked crooks, crooked cops, and crooked bankers.  Bad for
      our health and the health of our children.
      Regards,
      Ty
