Well...for those of us who came of age in the 60's (sorry, Dave, you're not included), the idea that, 40 years on, such a benign herb as marijuana would not only still be illegal, but causing more and more human pain and suffering through its prohibition, was unthinkable.
Your efforts are exemplary in the extreme.
The recent sentencing to death in Indonesia of some Australians for smuggling "narcotics", while the perpetrator of the bombing deaths of (ironically) a dozen Australians at a Bali nightclub received a mere 20 years, is only one example of the insanity that was instigated throughout the world by the US so long ago.
The only way out is to stop the war on "some drugs", but sadly, that seems to be a long time coming. Keep fighting the good fight, my friend.
In the Tremendum,
Terry Peckham
