The biggest mistake was creation of the Federal Reserve and Fema. Prohibition is up there but the drug version had to do with filling up jails and dumbing us down. The alcohol one was about making gas the official petro for automobiles and creation of ATF/FBI. There couldnt be any competition for big oil Rocafellar.

I don’t know what the trends are in the US but here in Canada it’s open market on activists.You may have heard about the 2010 Olympics and the goon squads following people and visiting them at home and office.Vancouver is a contrast in lifestyles.The homeless are currently being removed from venue areas and will no doubt be confined (using Olympic rules,of course).Protest zones(how sik is that?)are being set up and in the last several years the DEA and local cops have gone after advocates of marijuana reform with a vengeance.That the courts are being used to muzzle activists in Amerika is of no surprise.Obama has shown himself to be the worst kind of hypocrite,just like his predecessors.His Afghan policy has everything to do with the poppy crop as Helmund is where the plants are growing.This president has turned out to be another Bush and as far as drug policy goes,he’s worse.Bush eliminated the money for the flying drug squads that were responsible for so much of the true evil in drug policing,Even the Canadian border is like the Berlin Wall.Drones and roaming interdiction squads that will cost a fortune and be every bit as effective as those that came before them.Mexico is suffering setbacks in their shooting war and Amerika is glad to send them all the bullets they want.Amerika,with it’s unjust drug war is responsible for so much suffering world wide that a true christian would suffer the wrath of god.I don’t see anyone shaking.Just shutting up any voices of reason and lets not forget,the voices of the majority.Write to your people in politics,no matter how right wing and born again they appear.Shouting just convinces them that we’re all a bunch of drugged out wako’s.Keep up the pressure and try to be polite.I know it’s hard talking to closed minded ideologues.It’s necessary and it has to be done often.

Marijuana prohibition has been a total failure and is perhaps this country’s greatest mistake. Not only has it created criminals out of nearly a third of the country’s populace, it costs our society billions of dollars every year, creates a strain on our prison system, and has little or no effect on marijuana use in the US. In some cases, prosecuting marijuana use has turned non-violent, middle class kids into violent and unpredictable, career criminals. Once a person has a criminal conviction on their record, they are far less likely to find a good job and become a useful member of society. Other countries with more liberal drug laws have much lower rates of drug addiction among their people.
