The USA-DEA Cabal: An Enemy of Reason

“… Despite the 1st Amendment’s legal provision for church-state separation, the U.S. government has never really abandoned the preposterous Puritan idea that the business of the government is to impose a Christian morality on the whole nation, to care for its ‘moral fiber,’ to eradicate sin as defined by the Bible or a Bible-reading politician. The war on marijuana and hemp is also motivated by a desire of the government to ensure moral standards according to the corporate and political interests of those who wield political power. Hemp was once considered very important for America, as for example in the ‘Grow Hemp for the War’ campaign during the Second World War. Then the government reversed itself, once the military threat was over, and banned hemp cultivation.

Likewise, marijuana was first feared and banned because of its presumed ability to induce violence in its user. When this became transparently untrue, public policy shapers came up with another falsehood, that marijuana would induce indolence and pacifism, as if being a pacifist was some kind of crime.” - YellowTimes.org - “The USA-DEA cabal: an enemy of reason”
