Marijuana illegalized once again

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that state laws do not protect medicinal marijuana users from federal prosecution. Eleven states allow for doctors to prescribe marijuana as a pain killer for certain debilitating illnesses. Patients were permitted to possess and grow the drug for personal use. Now, the Supreme Court has come in and negated the current laws within these states.

Let me see if I can pick out the top five reasons for this activism:

• Keep the religious right happy
• The ever popular "we must protect our children"
• Dumb fucks who believe the government propaganda of the cult film, Reefer Madness
• Continue to erode civil liberaties and personal freedoms, just because you don't happen to enjoy the acts
• Keep our prisons full of lower class males in order to keep the Prison industry happy

It is currently unclear as to how much of an impact this ruling will have on the state laws, but I'm not optimistic. It continues our countries trend away from the "land of the free" and towards the "land of the regulated, heavily." As other countries are slowing de-illegalizing the drug, our government is strengthing its laws. Most likely so we can save the children. Fucking bullshit.
