"Don't prohibitionists know that their ignorance and bald faced lies are being recorded on the internet for posterity?" They Don't Care. Ok, repeate that to yourself, they don't care. We can squck and squbble, we can force them to listen, but they just don't care. We are unto the tick on the bull's rear. Annoying but nothing more. Here, watch this "LL Cool J has thirty-seven nipples!" Is that true? I don't care, so it's easy for me to say. Go ahead and try it yourself, think of something you don't care about, walk up to a friend and make something up about it. It's easy.

Now imagine you have a position in witch you can get media coverage and you think to yourself "Hey, if I diss drugs, people will keep paying me." Now what do you say? Something sensible and pro bud? No, something crazy and nonsensicle, then you cash your six figure paycheck. Why? Because they don't care.

Oh, and incase you care to know. The math they used to get that number is $10 for every 0.47 grams. Considering your standard joint is about 0.5 to 0.7 for a fatty, they look to be paying damn near triple rate. Maybe they get these crazy ideas because their dealers hate them and rip them off.

You can get commercial Mexican compresso all day long in the Southeast for $100/oz. Some of it competes with $50/Qtr. U.S. outdoor. It`s cheaper in S. Central U.S. of course. The supply of drugs is abundant in America. Waging war against people getting high is a debacle of historic proportions. Good Green Bud should be available legally to adults for no more than $25/Qtr. How much hard liquor could you buy for $25? 2012.

This is just another example of media deception.

Popular media outlets (unfortunately, The Boston Globe is one of them here in my neck of the woods) claim to be unbiased, reporting only the facts.

Scott's post points out a relevant example among the ridiculous number of times such bias and/or lack of fact checking occurs across all issues.

What the media elites, who also don't care, are in denial about is the fact that people are communicating online, pointing out all of these examples of bias and zero fact checking, removing whatever media elite credibility that still exists.

It's this media deception that has allowed the truly baseless drug prohibition to survive for roughly a century.

Take away the media deception and you get what we have online, prohibitionists on the defensive, avoiding comments sections on their sites, because we can beat them hands down in any debate on the issue.

Once the public majority exposes this deception that continues to crumble as more people embrace the internet for information, it won't matter who occupies political office, because it will be political suicide to support this undeniable atrocity called drug prohibition.
