Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com) and Flex Your Rights (www.FlexYourRights.org) are the true patriots.

Barry is informing people to give up their constitutional rights.

Please check out the organizations above! Flex Your Rights is coming out with a new movie in January called “10 Rules for Dealing With Police,” which you can pre-order here: http://www.flexyourrights.org/10_rules

Enjoy!

i believe in the idea of forming hubs of critical mass of support for crucial causes like drug legalisation, and california is about the best place to gain such a stronghold for that i agree, but the pacifist shit really offends me. which is ashame because i’m from there and it’s where all my best friends are as well as all the promoters i love to spin for (FnF, SisterSF etc), but if i move somewhere for political reasons i’m leaning toward NH for the Free State Project, which is pro ALL civil Liberties and doesn’t cherry pick them like some so-called “liberal” areas like cali (i don’t thinkk they should use that word if they’re not pro-all liberty but the word’s gotten co-opted by socialists, i see nothing at all liberal about gun control).

but there’s nothing like the raves in the bay area, *wistful sigh* .. i miss them so.. i also miss Dennis Peron, for whom i spun many beneift gigs to get Prop 13 on the ballot back in the bad old days when the market st dispensary was still a city-sanctioned act of civil disobedience.. i still remember the DEA thugs milling about outdside with the mayor holding them at bay, and “we are NOT getting busted” scrolled on the menu board :) ah.. i’m so proud of what you gys have accomplished ou there, Tommy, and proud that i was a part of setting it in motion.

give ‘em hell, Tommy!!

Mike: spot-on re: vaporisation.

Noah, way to be open to truth, Sir! if you go to RonPaul2008 dot com to support Dr Paul. we’re not getting the brokered convention we were hoping for since Romney withdrew, but this campaign has always been about the message and the movement and there’s still some valuable publicity to grab and haearts and minds to win, and as Paul pointed out, Ron is also defending his Congressional seat, which we can all help with. welcome to the rEVOLution!

i would say based on Paul’s story, though, that even though pot is benign and nicotine literally malignant, this is an issue of self-ownership and self-determination, and although there is a powerful harm-reduction argument to be made for re-legalising not just pot but all drugs, the bottom line is it’s not the government’s job to protect us from ourselves, even in cases of ectreme risk.

to that end, though cigarettes make me nauseous and i’d like nothing better from a personal standpoint than a nation of smoke-free bars and restaurants, i nonetheless spent a pike of my own money, and donated even more of my time, to the campaign to keep tobacco smoking legal on private property in DC, at the discretion of the bar/restaurant owner, because i didn’t feel i had the right to tell people how to run either their lives or their business, and i think our Patriotic friend Paul would back me on that, and accepts that his condition was the result of a decision that was no-one’s affair but his own. right Paul?

this week for the first time, the Drug War Chronicle included a category for “tobacco”, which is quickly becomoing the new front in the Drug Massacre, with our own (totally true) “tobacco is more harmful than pot” argument being used to point the State’s guns at folks like Paul now, and i’m sure he’d be the first to declare that the last thing he needs right now, on top of everything else, is to have his door kicked in cuz some cop smelled cig smoke coming out his window, or have his kids incarcerated in some orphanage. right Paul?

and not to be outdone, Mississippi now has a bill on the table to bust restaurant owners for serving obese folks. this is all evidence of the obsessive and *unhealthy* nature of the Prohibitionist mentality, and what happens once we set the precedent that we want the state to be responsible for our health.. “first they came for the heroin addicts..” etc..
