Even at an hour and a half, it still barely scratches the surface. To get a little more understanding, go to (the late) Peter McWilliams book “Ain’t Nobody’s Business If You Do.” The chapter on drug prohibition in general and marijuana specifically will give you yet another perspective. And, if you really want to get pissed off, delve into the circumstances surrounding Peter’s untimely death.

Guys, I’m 57 and I’ve been both a heavy and casual cannibis user for nearly 40 years. I think I can state unequivocally that I started when I realized, after trying it, that I had been lied to. And I said, “What else have they lied to me about?”

Now, I realize how hard it can be to be an activist when you’re stoned. You just want to kick back with your Buds (all 3 kinds) and chill. And we certainly all know how hard it can be to stay on subject in a conversation when buzzin’.

But, I think there are a few simple things that can be done to further the cause of ending this prohibition.

1. Vote for Libertarian candidates for public office. I have never known one who wants marijuana to remain illegal. There simply aren’t any.

2. Get involved in, to whatever extent you feel comfortable, with a organization such as NORML.

3. Always keep a kean eye and ear out for the next round of lies.

Yours in Liberty,
Dan
