It's amazing how easily one stupid post can derail an entire thread.
Semantics, my dear Watson; just like calling it 'dope.' The dopers are the ones that keep blathering about how harmful and socially destructive such a theraputically beneficial plant it actually is, including being used as a more responsible replacement for alcohol, cigarettes, and a host of other legal and illegal mind-altering substances humans regularly use. Screaming 'the children' is a lame and counterproductive dodge that has been worn smooth.
It's supposedly an issue low on the totem for many; the same ones who are having their tax dollars spent on enforcement, incarceration, personnel, equipment, and a plethora of expensive resources used to fight this misdirected and expensive self-defeating War.
One would think with all this BLM rhetoric, that this series of laws which has been escalated to oppress blacks and hippies first by Nixon and most presidents and bureaucrats thereafter, would be expunged from the books - giving law enforcement the right to kick down doors and search citizens without warrant or just cause under the umbrella of 'drug suspicion' is just plain wrong.
IMO, without 'Schedule 1' and this bogus War On Drugs, we would not be having the issues with militarized, heavy handed, and out-of-touch law enforcement like we are suffering through today.
