Petra Crete The systems regarding prohibition around the planet is not archaic, but something of rather new date. A 100 years to be exact. Some religious lunatics wanted to ban weed in a conference around drugs in Egypt in 1913. Fact is, it was "banned" by mistake. Harry Anslinger became a character in all of George Orwell's works, and started a war on minorities, freethinkers, and jazz musicians in the 30's. I would call this system Orwellian. It's also a legacy from a time when Christianity - religion in itself started to become lord over people's bodies and minds and dictated what we could put in our bodies, what we could think, and what we could read and write. A time when doctors were priests and vice versa, and the only allowed medicine was prayer and wine.
Perhaps you're right. The systems around the world is still archaic. Progressive in many ways, but regressive in other ways. And arresting people for smoking weed is like sending people to GULag for saying the "wrong thing" about Stalin in the 30's.
And to even entertain the notion that also I was filled with propaganda astounds me.
If anything, weed creates paranoia among old whisky drinking, religious zealots who have never tried weed, and don't want you to smoke it either.
Weed creates paranoia among prohibitionists. Not me. Just had a joint. Going out to do some fotball betting. Hope to win. Could use the money. Have been lazy with my job lately.
HA!
