That DEA head is talking about zeal and conviction being a good thing, he does not realize he is describing ignorance and blind faith, 1 perspective, 1 viewpoint, akin to Catholic Inquisition burning heretics at the stake, or Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists is the Middle East mass murdering civilians, what kind of an ignorant twit would use the argument that conviction and zeal are good for anything, it just fosters ignorance ,and ignores Science and facts.

It’s not equality to give permission for harmful poisons like alcohol and tobacco , and both are bad for our life and children too .
and … It looks like that some politicians attacked Afghanistan to have the best addictive drugs in the world (Heroin and opium) and those are very aggressive against anybody legalizes the competitiveness of there market share , specially you can’t find these dangerous drugs in the American soil only can buy them and of course from time to time they tell you they caught some bad guys in some drama scene to make you believe they are against them . anyway . the only way to legalize Marijuana for real is buy really cultivate people against Heroin and cocaine to let them suffer the loss of money of their global business in the world .

I mean (((a Global campaign against Heroin , opium and cocaine)))

This movie gave a great view from many sides. What struck me most was the explanation about the vases with the blobs. I think it is a perfect example of how the legal term Wednesbury law came about. I am fighting mal administration of the Controlled drugs and substances act in Canadian Courts which is a healthcare act. It is a fact that the most dangerous drugs are alcohol and tobacco, there are no exemptions under the act. The minister is mandated to keep the schedule current. He does not because the government misconstrues the purpose of the Act as a prohibitions Act which is politically inspired. This would not mean prohibition because the minister has the full power to exempt any users of any substances. The way the Act is mis constructed now arbitrarily divides the same class of people, those who use dangerous drugs, into two separate but equal groups deprived of equality under the law. Much like the Jim Crow laws of the 50′s and 60′s. They have been spouting this propaganda so long that the legal fiction “illegal drugs” appears in our latest Supreme Court decision. The law only governs people’s actions concerned with certain substances. By using the terms “Legal” and “Illegal” substances the person is equated with the object and loses all rights. The law is about treating like alike and unalike differently. If a person can manufacture and sell tobacco products to users who are of legal age and they can use them responsible the state has no concern legally although it is a government statistic that over 450,000 die from tobacco related illnesses directly and many are killed along with entire families in fires, misadventures driving. Alcohol is behind many murders drunk driving fatalities and adverse health affects. If people break the laws and put other people in harms way then the criminal law comes into affect. Under the principal of common law we are entitled to equality before the law. Unless we harm or put into harm’s way another person then we are entitled to use whatever diet we wish for whatever effects we choose. Treating like alike. In our law the minister must use their power to control and regulate according to the harm a substance poses to others. By that reckoning the most dangerous drugs are A&T, they can’t simply neglect to put them before parliament because it is a hard political choice. Once these are controlled the Act is given effect according to its purpose. The CDSA is actually a good act if it were used as intended: to control the use of all possible dangerous. This then takes it from the criminals hand and lets adults make their own choices on which state of mind the wish to peacefully access.

Whats keeping it from being legalized? Really? Well the main reason is that its a NATURAL PLANT! Which means Big Pharmacy cant PATENT IT! So if Big Pharm cant make money off it ….and they will actually LOSE money if MMJ is legalized. There lies the problem with Legalizing Marijuana! If big Business or a Big Corporation sees a threat to thier Profits… THEY WILL ELIMINATE IT! Its just that simple! Like they say… “Ya cant fight City Hall” …especially when it is lobbied… and bought and paid for by Big Corporations.We dont OWN our politicians… Big Business does!

the point here is that enjoying the comfort of being healthy literally blinds people from the reality of the dept of misery that millions of sick people are stuck in. if certain research has identified cannabinoid as incredibly useful in alleviating the misery of many, why do we play hypocrisy and sycophantic politics rather than saying “wait a minute” let’s come together and take a closer look at this. perhaps the already made “Heroes” in the war against drugs would utterly reject this… i think that we are being unnecessarily difficult in this situation…. this in my opinion is as simple as “alright let’s give this a chance” and carefully legislate on the regulation to avoid misuse…
Like i said, some people are just bubbling in good health and HAVE NO IDEA WHAT People are passing through health-wise.

It is past time for cannabis to be legalized. What is going on in America. What is it that keeps this plant illegal? The seeds won’t stop the birds from singing. Hemp will not even get you high.Cannabis is medicine. For a policy to have its start based on racial bias and misinformation it is unbelievable the U.S government would want to keep it illegal even though almost all scientific studies shows it should be decriminalized. What is the hold up?

The problem with really informative docs like this one, is that opponents of mmj, will just change the channel without giving it a chance. What we need is to sit the politicians down in a room and FORCE them to watch these things. How would they be able to see the mother with that stutter, or the vet with ptsd, or the woman with MS, SEE the change in them right after smoking, and then STILL deny that it works? They wouldn’t be able to deny it. It’s the closed minded, reefer madness mentallity that is holding us back.

Where are your facts to support your argument??? You probably grew up in a conservative, republican, christian home/community. That is why you have been brain washed your whole life. Just a guess, I may be wrong.

Do a little bit of research; you’ll be surprised what information you find on the positive effects of marijuana. Yes, some of the methods used for the act of smoking marijuana is bad for you. BUT, there are still NO recorded deaths as far as marijuana use goes.

Too many benefits to write down here. Do yourself a favour and do a bit of research on vaporizers and cannabis oil, just to name a few ways of healthily administering marijuana.

Watch the documentary ‘The Union’ with an open mind and then reply to this post. I mean this in a purely diplomatic sense.

Its criminal for this plant to be illegal.

I have AS. I have known the agony you are experiencing and I can now ride a bike. For the first time in years I am off the drugs that were wrecking my stomach. Two things have helped me. The first was to find out what things cause me to “flare”. For me an elimination diet revealed that I couldn’t eat potatoes without flaring. The second was discovering cannabis. I eat it before bed. I never experience a high as I sleep through the “high”. I can now move nicely. I get up most mornings without pain and it has helped with the insomnia that came with AS. Also, I have more energy and am no longer constipated from taking Iron for anemia. I finally have quality of life… did not have it on “legal meds.” I am once again a productive member of society. While disabled I felt like such a failure.

Very good post, I was really searching for this topic, as I wanted this topic to understand completely and it is also very rare in internet, that is why it was very difficult to understand.
Thank you for sharing this.
