Title: The War on Drugs
Post by: Shyox on September 08, 2007, 02:27:16 pm
"DEA Success Update: Let's see. After 20 years of relentless federal Drug War activity, while the price of world-class marijuana has gone from $60 an ounce to $450, the price of quality cocaine has plummeted from $125 a gram to $30, and 30%-pure heroin has dropped from $700 a gram to about $100. Way to go, boys!"

High Times,
April 1995

"Marihuana influences Negroes to to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows and look at a white woman twice."

Hearst newspapers nationwide, 1934

"Marijuana is rejected all over the world. Damned. In England heroin is alright for out-patents, but marijuana? They'll put your ass in jail. I wonder why that is? . . . . The only reason could be: To Serve the Devil - Pleasure! Pleasure, which is a dirty word in Christian culture."

Lenny Bruce

"When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader."

Plato

"Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong."

Friedrich Nietzsche
German philosopher (1844-1900)

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear to me than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use. . . . Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana."

President Jimmy Carter
Speech delivered to Congress
1977

He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain. --

"Tom Sawyer," by Mark Twain,
Chapter 2, "The Glorious Whitewasher"
