WIN/WIN
The so-called legal drugs that millions take ever day oxecodine, valluiem, codeine, vikadin, and many other are derived for the so called illegal drugs. They are stronger more addictive and harder on your body. Our leaders have voted to make these legal and allow the drug companies to charge what ever they wish 1000% mark up on some drugs. You can get opium and other synthetic drugs and they are working on a THC pill but we are still jailed for growing a weed. The legal drug pushers, in my town there is a drug store on ever corner just like your town, want you to only have access to the drugs that bring them billions every year. They are afraid if you could grow a weed that would replace 80% of the drugs they push they would lose billions. Our leaders are bought and paid for why else would they spend 100 billion a year and put 875,000 non-violent drug users with no prior legal problem in jail for using a weed? Even in states where the majority of voters have spoken and voted it legal the FEDS will still put you in jail, why pure greed! While millions take drugs ever day these so-called legal drugs kill 500,000 a year weed, grass, smoke, MJ, marijuana in all recorded history has killed not one person. Yet our so-called leaders continue to lie and enslave us for its use. It is time to stop this travesty against every Grown American that should have the freedom to decide for themselves what works and does not work for them. We are not children (I am 60) we are the estimated 75% of free thinking Americans that say end the War on US (drugs) stop wasting 100 billion ever year let the 2 million in jail out and repair their lives by removing the felony records so they can get a job. Stop the lies listen to the rest of the world and the research they are doing. Allow our people to live in peace as they were doing before you put them in jail and ruined their lives for greed!
