A representative from LEAP, (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition,) spoke at the Frederick Secular Humanist meeting Sunday in Frederick Maryland. It was an interesting talk. He pointed out that control, as in how we control liquors, will eliminate the severe problems we’re having with drugs while not increasing drug usage.
He also pointed out that our prohibition is fueling the terrorism that we’re experiencing, and that if we only placed marijuana on the same list as wine, we’d eliminate at least two thirds of the drug problem (because if the people can obtain marijuana like they can obtain wine they won’t want to bother with an illegal drug. Some would, of course, but only a slight few.)
The spokesman also pointed out that our prohibition on drugs has given North Korea, an impoverished country, enough money to produce an atomic bomb. By prohibiting drugs we are helping the terrorists.
We are fighting a war on terror. We are losing it. If we lift the prohibition on marijuana and replace it with controls similar to wine controls, we will eliminate almost all of the money the terrorists use, and that will almost eliminate them.
The government has admitted for at least ten years that the only thing “wrong” with marijuana is that it is illegal. If we make it legal we will cripple terrorism and give our farmers a cash crop they can sell like the wineries do. It will make them more proud of their work and keep them on the farm, while we will take the wind out of the sails of terrorism.
