So it seems that once a month I feel the need to spout off about our bullshit “Drug Control Policies” here in America. Of course there are bad drugs out there causing harm and some people should be locked up for selling and distributing them but the hypocrisy of calling Marijuana a class I felony on par with cocaine and heroin is fucking preposterous. Especially when I can go to the store and pick up a bottle of grain alcohol and a pack of cigarettes that’s the real crime. What else? …It’s treating a symptom and not a cause… it targets blacks… it puts non-violent offenders in a dangerous environment where they learn to be criminals… one dollar of treatment saves 7 in the penal system… it ties up our courts… it has made drugs more potent and increased violence and decreased the price… get it?

Now that I’ve got that out of the way, A GLIMMER OF HOPE! Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) and 6 other Reps have recently introduced H.R. 5843 known as the Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults which would make it federally legal (as opposed to our lovely Cali freedom) to possess up to 100 Grams of Marijuana for personal use.

Actual text:

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no penalty may be imposed under an Act of Congress for the possession of marijuana for personal use, or for the not-for-profit transfer between adults of marijuana for personal use. For the purposes of this section, possession of 100 grams or less of marijuana shall be presumed to be for personal use, as shall the not-for-profit transfer of one ounce or less of marijuana, except that the civil penalty provided in section 405 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 844a) may be imposed for the public use of marijuana if the amount of the penalty does not exceed $100.

To me this seems like a GENEROUS amount of weed. 100 grams is about 3.5 oz, or just under a QP. But I guess they needed a number large enough to last through Bonnaroo or something?

Well I’m all for it and I’m planning to write my senators in Nebraska asking them to support it. (And you can too). Our current system imprisons 800,000 people a year, most of them non-violent “offenders”. According to CNN someone is arrested for Pot every 38 seconds. This shit can ruin peoples lives, and over what? A drug that has never, ever killed anyone? A personal choice? YOUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS!? Weak.

Now trip balls on this 70s Hanna-Barbera anti-drug spot!

Hippie New Year everybody. I missed 4:20 today. Cause I was working… on a Sunday. I’m in California, it should be a state holiday. This makes weed nun very unhappy.

Here is a link to a previous Weekly Trashing about Pot. I’ll spoil it for you. It should be legal.
