MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGALIZED

Re: Marijuana has never been part of native culture

It is true that marijuana is not a part of traditional native culture,
but that is still no justification for a criminal prohibition.

Not only does marijuana prohibition subsidize organized crime and
cops, it also usurps people's natural right to do whatever they want
with their own bodies, minds, and souls.

If you accept that the government has any say at all as to what you
can and cannot put into your own body, then you must accept their ownership.

That means the government owns you -- like a slave, or pet, or cattle
- -- and that you have only the rights that they grant. If you accept
that, then maybe you deserve to have no rights at all.
