A fucked up society

Politicians making laws what way adult people can have sex. In some states in the USA it is illegal when 2 adults live together and have sex without being married. In some states fellatio and cunnilingus are illegal, or homo sexuality. Smoking pot or growing pot can put you to jail for many years.

WTF! Since when do we have religion in politics? Weren't we all told that there is a separation of church and government?
So how the fuck did find oppressive religious views their way in to politics.
" Marijuana is bad for you " most politicians say. Really! Since when have become politicians doctors? Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is bad for you too but nobody goes to jail for that.
Doctors opinion or recommendation ( don't smoke tobacco ) becomes neither law nor does anybody go to jail for not listening to the doctors opinion,
So who are those politicians who make decissions on medical matters without being doctors or conulting doctors or medical scientists?
One research after another has shown that alcohol, tobacco, sugar, fat, prescription drugs and aspirin are far more dangerous than cannabis. To die from cannabis an adult would need to smoke his own body weight of cannabis within 24 hour. Nobody so far had died from the use of cannabis alone. 400.000 people die anually in the USA because of tobacco related sicknesses and 80.000 because of alcohol. ZERO from cannabis. Prescription drugs kill 3 times more people than all illegal drugs ( crack, heroine, cocaine, metamphetamine etc. ) combined.
So what is this obsession with cannabis?
"It's for you own good" politicians say. Well so says my doctor but he does not put people in jail for not listening to him.
Nixon ordered a cannabis investigation in the 70's and the scientist told him that cannabis was harmless but Nixon didn't care of science and facts nor do the politicians of today 40 years after Nixon.
The WHO organization considered cannabis less harmful than tobacco and alcohol and the UN health report recommended to stop violating the rights of people who use cannabis and that cannabis is a health issue and not a political issue and should not e criminalized.

    More Than 13.2 Million Americans Have Been Arrested on Pot Charges Since Congress Rejected 1972 Policy Recommendations

    Washington, DC: Friday marks the 30-year-anniversary of a 1972 federal commission report advising Congress to remove criminal penalties on the possession and nonprofit distribution of marijuana. The National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (a.k.a. "the Shafer Commission"), appointed by then-President Richard Nixon, formally made its recommendation on March 22, 1972.

    "Neither the marihuana user nor the drug itself can be said to constitute a danger to public safety," concluded the report's authors, led by then-Gov. Raymond Shafer of Pennsylvania. "Therefore, the Commission recommends ... [the] possession of marijuana for personal use no longer be an offense, [and that the] casual distribution of small amounts of marihuana for no remuneration, or insignificant remuneration no longer be an offense." According to a December 2001 Zogby poll, 61 percent of voters agree with the Shafer Commission's conclusion that responsible marijuana smokers should not be arrested or jailed.

    Despite the commission's recommendations, Nixon and Congress ignored the report.

Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis

Prof David J Nutt FMedSci a , Leslie A King PhD b, Lawrence D Phillips
PhD c, on behalf of the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs
Summary

Background
Proper assessment of the harms caused by the misuse of drugs can
inform policy makers in health, policing, and social care. We aimed to
apply multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) modelling to a range of
drug harms in the UK.
Methods
Members of the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs, including
two invited specialists, met in a 1-day interactive workshop to score
20 drugs on 16 criteria: nine related to the harms that a drug
produces in the individual and seven to the harms to others. Drugs
were scored out of 100 points, and the criteria were weighted to
indicate their relative importance.
Findings
MCDA modelling showed that heroin, crack cocaine, and metamfetamine
were the most harmful drugs to individuals (part scores 34, 37, and
32, respectively), whereas alcohol, heroin, and crack cocaine were the
most harmful to others (46, 21, and 17, respectively). Overall,
alcohol was the most harmful drug (overall harm score 72), with heroin
(55) and crack cocaine (54) in second and third places.
Interpretation
These findings lend support to previous work assessing drug harms, and
show how the improved scoring and weighting approach of MCDA increases
the differentiation between the most and least harmful drugs. However,
the findings correlate poorly with present UK drug classification,
which is not based simply on considerations of harm.

LONDON (Reuters) - Alcohol is a more dangerous drug than both crack and heroin when the combined harms to the user and to others are assessed, British scientists said Monday. Presenting a new scale of

I've worked in law enforcement for 35 years, including 15 years as the police chief in San Jose, California. Over my career, I have seen firsthand how misguided our marijuana policies are for our state and our country. That's why I narrated the Yes on 19 campaign's new TV ad.
For 70 years, we have prohibited marijuana in this country, each day expecting different results. But as William F. Buckley once said: "Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."

We spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year arresting people for marijuana possession, sending them to trial, and incarcerating small-time offenders.

And yet, despite our war against it, marijuana is so freely available that anyone who wants it in California can get it.

Today, because it is illegal, teenagers have an easier time buying pot than beer. For any high school student, trying to purchase a six-pack without ID means being turned away by a liquor store owner who is concerned with losing his license. The same can't be said for drug dealers who exploit prohibition to profit off our kids.

On my watch as police chief in San Jose, the city was named the safest large city in the country, despite having the fewest police per capita. That's because we policed intelligently. And between smart policing and sound policy we can make our streets safe, instead of paying lip service to the failing war on marijuana.

California cannot afford to continue the same failed policies of the past. We need to pass Proposition 19 to tax and control marijuana like we do alcohol.

Controlling and taxing marijuana will generate over a billion dollars in new revenue every year, in contrast to the current $14 billion criminally-controlled market for marijuana, the largest cash crop in California. This money will go to local communities, allow police to focus on violent crimes, and put drug cartels out of business.

Proposition 19 will take marijuana out of the hands of criminals and put it into the hands of licensed vendors. That way, it will be easier to keep it away from our children.

That's why I am asking you to join me and many others in law enforcement by voting YES on Proposition 19.
