Demonizing fellow human beings over their use of plants can ruin their life and reputation. Prison is costly and cruel. Prohibition delivers the distribution of these substances to gangs, mafias, our gullible teenage children and corrupted police. People do have a right to drugs and plants of this earth, and they need safe, legal, and affordable ways to obtain them.
