Does it really take a genius to figure out the much of the "terror" of the world is funded by the illegal drug trade? Does it take a genius to figure out the much of the reason for the corruption is Mexico, Central, and South America is funded by illegal drug trade because if the market was controlled by legit companies the degree of profit would not be there, money would flow over the table instead of under it, and because companies not guerrillas would manage the industry?

"Preaching to the choir" is a term that I can relate to. I talk about the drug war to a wide variety of people and have found that a wide variety of people agree that the "War on Drugs" is not the right strategy to take. I was talking to some workmates the other day and they were making comments about how conversations change when people find out that the person they are talking to is a police officer. I made the observation that when I learn that someone is in the law enforcement business, I almost immediately begin talking about drug policy.

Twas way back....Mr. Wizard...68' and my young drug using career was being tutored by another young hippie but husband and father of two. "Butch" was also a junkie and he warned me to never try heroin. Said I'd like it too much and I shouldn't end up like him. Advice I also took seriously. The thing that really bothered me at the time was something he said about herbs and hallucinagens. He told me the government was lying about the effects out of fear that we would "become awakened" if we all used them. Odd words but it made sense more and more as the years have gone by. Still to this day the government still lies and changes facts at will. But it was this original lie that led me to question everything and not to take their word on anything. Butch also said uppers and downers would hook and kill me just as quick as horse but the government wants us all hooked on their man-made drugs so they could profit. They could still chase hippies around and blame all the crime on them.

Take the pledge to help change drug policy in America.

Just putting up a test blog entry to watch what happens. If you want to see my main blog, go to http://writch.com/blog

helicopters over America. Yes, the time for the annual outdoor marijuana harvest draws near, and newspapers from Kentucky to California are full of stories about cops flying out to spy out the pot fields, rip up the crops, and bust the farmers.

The ATP conglomerate (alchol,tobacco,pharmacutical) is spending millions ie.partnership for drug free America..How do the logical, intelligent, compassionate majority counter this Refeer Madness mentality with deep pockets??

Hey people. Well this is great!!! I spend a good amount of time at www.atwatchdog.org (a pro methadone site) and a very good one at that --- but this is something new and I am really looking forward to checking this out and watching it grow.

I decided to start a blog. I have for over sixty years objected to any regulation of drug use, including presriptive medicine. The greatest misuse of drugs is by the medical profession and is completerly legal. The manufacturers of food subject the American consumer to products that often do much more harm than so[called illegal dtugs. The public is often forced to use drugs without its knowlege nor consent. I avoid as much as possible any processed food and water poisoned by water districts in a devious effort to purify the water and the processing of milk and wheat that deprive them of the ability to be utilized effectively by the consumer. If the use of drugs were to be declared unlawful, the dairy industry would not longer exist and nearly all foods consumed by the public could, perhaps for the better, no longer be consumed by the people..
