Yes cannabis laws are unjust and counterproductive, I think we of all people here realize this haha. But keep in mind, we have the authority to change these laws....
The statement I put in bold sounds ridiculous to me...to state that that is the Gov. goal is an extreme exaggeration of reality. Remember that our country was founded on the idea of the freedom to be as rich or as poor as you choose..and to spend that money as you please. This type of victim mentality you exhibit is exactly what we need to separate ourselves from. It isn't the Gov.'s job to take money from the rich or give money to the poor or vice versa for that matter. Besides, I would hardly call our current tax system a "break for the rich"...as you move up in tax brackets, capital gains tax ect. the Gov. is not treating the rich and the poor equally....but I suppose the money has to come from somewhere to support all of our pointless Gov. funded programs...but that's a whole other story right there.
Peace
P.S. There is a difference between pro-America and pro-Gov.
You need to study the way the tax laws really are and I am not feeling like a victum I haven't been arrested or had any problems but am speaking from what I have seen happen to other people I worked at a courthouse once and obviously you have no idea what really goes on!
