CAGING POTHEADS IS THE LATEST SMUDGE ON HUMAN HISTORY

"Wanting to use cannabis (kaneh bosm) is a natural intrinsic response
within the brain that is a blessing from Christ God Our Father. Humans
are created with something similar to cannabinoid receptor sites in
our brain, waiting for THC to bind to, that do nothing else. Who do
you think put those there?"

Stan... truth and politics are two different things.

Rome persecuted Christians. Germany persecuted Jews. Washington D.C.
persecutes potheads ... over seven hundred thousand last year.

It seems to me that every society through history needs a
scapegoat/excuse for their woes.

Putting potheads in a cage is merely the latest fad that will prove to
be a smudge on the humanity of human history.
