I'd like to talk to those of you who regularly use hemp for its psychogenic properties. I'd like to talk not like the fork-tounged weasels we call politicians but like a depolitician, a Libertarian. Libertarians, unlike certain famous radio personalities, are in relentless, and I mean relentless pursuit of the truth. The truth is that people who ingest psychogenically active substances must be willing to take responsibility for their actions. If so, consider that libertarians support freedom in both areas.
Freedom is a two-edged sword.
With every right to ingest chemicals comes an equal and opposite responsibility to bear the costs of that behavior. Now I'd like to talk to those of you who are parents of impressionable children. Perhaps you'll have to have the courage to face up to the truth that the drug war isn't working any better than the war on poverty and that they're both dehumanizing our neighborhoods and our children. Finally, I'd like to speak to you media people and the politicians you support with your subjective reporting. A real change this time.
