That’s the title of this delightful read by Steven Kotler at Tru TV.
Nothing really that new to those of us who know the history of prohibition and the forces behind keeping it prohibited, but still nice to see someone else talking about it.

Popular Mechanics-February, 1938
Nixon’s lumping Medicinal and Hemp into the mix after the 1937 Marihuana Tax Ax was overturned kept crude oil, trees, cotton, booze, pesticides, plastic and wars protecting the pillages free to profit, without competition. Just a coincidence? Nixon did what the international banksters and corporate status weird said to do. Nothing about law and order. Law and odor work for big biz the same as the Washington politikons.
Al Capone and Watergate were red herrings to divert the countries attention from the Fascist acts of eliminating competition. Booze/Ethanol or Ganja//Hemp.

Who Is Secretly Working to Keep Pot Illegal?

Sometimes they are physically unpleasant.
Cannabis too has discomforting side effects,
but these are not physical they are political”

TOBACCO USE AND IMPOTENCE
If you smoke tobacco, you’re playing Russian roulette with your sexual function.

There’s absolutely no question about it. It causes it very commonly.

Dr. John McKinlay, New England Research Institute
Smoking is clearly hazardous to your erection.

Marijuana and Sex
Ancient tantrists and modern researchers agree:
pot and sex are two great things that go together
“Pot arrests are at a near-record high.”
That makes me feel like such a failure. It makes me feel like a failure as an activist. It makes me feel like a failure as a human being. It makes me feel like human society is failing at being the best kind of human society. Still.
If I thought like a prohibitionists… I’d be thinking it means we are really winning because there are more people unjustly arrested and processed through the system than ever.
Prohibitionists are able to think it’s good that a bunch of people are hideously and barbarically killing each other because of the outrageous profits caused by prohibitions.
As a society… how can we prevent the worst of it? How can we keep it from getting worse and worse?
More “Casualties” means we’re winning? And so much “Collateral Damage” is just part of it? I think not.
What is the cause of the violence? What?
Are we better off, as a struggling grass roots movement, as a gathering of reformers, as a vocal “Resistance” than we were ten years ago? Yes. I believe we are.
Have we found relief for the unjustly persecuted yet? Maybe some. But it’s not widespread.
“More arrest than ever.” That’s just sickening.
