The U.S. federal drug policies supported by Clovis Mayor Pro-Tem
Robert Moreno and other like-minded politicians are fueling the
largest contraband black market in history, filling our now
private-profit prisons with non-violent drug users, including numerous
sick and dying citizens; corrupting and degrading our democracy,
police and judicial systems; involving our banks in a lucrative
money-laundering business; and enriching U.S.-backed
narco-dictatorships by filling our communities with artificially
profitable, black market drugs.

An added bonus for the people of New Mexico is that cannabis hemp,
the world's most useful, beneficial source of medicine, food, clean
fuels, tree-free building materials, environmentally safe paper,
plastics, and yes, recreational and spiritual products, is banned.

This they support, while most of Europe and Australia are legalizing
the growing and personal use of marijuana.
