Canadian Marijuana Party …

I will comment on your part I.

Of course I agree with your view that

… “prohibition does not stop drug use but
it does provide the impetus and financial basis
for organized crime.”

I think that prohibition is intended to do that.

I also agree with your critique of Libertarianism.

People need information to make good choices.

I agree with your view of current education:

“{drug education’ is a euphemism for an
incompetent, politicized, horribly biased,
farcical attempt at brainwashing our children.”

Again, I think that is deliberately being done.

The rest of your post indicates
how much you must hate pot.

I point out that there is no necessary connection
between marijuana and SMOKING marijuana …

Smoking is the worst way to consume cannabis.

The idea that people should SMOKE marijuana
is one of the side-effects of pot’s prohibition.

Good vaporizer machines
are many times better …

Eating cannabis cooking is good.

Also, there are the facts that
marijuana seeds provide the
single best source of food as
protein and oil, for humans,

and the fact that marijuana stalks
are a high quality fiber, as well as
a good source of annual biomass.

That marijuana is fun is actually
less important overall than the
facts that is would be a good
source of food and fiber too.

That marijuana is also good medicine
for some people is also significant too.

As for the Marijuana Party “whining”
about jurisdiction, I do think that is
a fair way to describe the real facts.

IF marijuana was not a Federal crime in Canada,
then it would automatically come under control
by provinces, and under that, municipalities …

That is the way the Canadian constitution IS.

The Federal Marijuana Party does not need
any policy about what provinces should do.

As the article you links to explains,
IF marijuana was not illegal, then,
the only thing the Federal power
could do is spend money within
the provincial and municipal
schemes to subsidize pot.

Now, for the bigger picture.

Your entire Web site is about

The War on Bullshit …

I think you should wade through
a lot more my blah, blah, blah,
about that in posting on our
forum, & party leader part
of our current Web site:

http://www.marijuanaparty.ca

I think you shall find a much deeper
understanding of the war on bullhsit,

And as to this “anyone who is against Ron Paul is against freedom and the constitution,” this is the kind of critical-thinking killing bullshit that has gotten the US into it’s current boondoggle. If you’d try to think for yourself you might be able to help your country out of this mess before the American Imperial Empire goes the some way as the Roman Empire.

Let’s not overestimate how much thought goes into comments like Jeremy’s. Puking up the “protection from oneself” litany is a lot like putting a patriotic bumper sticker on your car. Do we really care about “protecting” drug users or “supporting” our troops?

Or do we simply want to give the appearance that we care, while excusing ourselves from actually doing so?

There are lots of things that someone can harm themselves doing. Not just drugs. If every activity that could potentially cause harm to the one doing it (with that’s one’s consent and knowledge of the risks) we would have a very boring, police state world.

Bringing harm or threatening harm to OTHERS or others property is all the government has any right to intervene on. Anything else is bullshit.
