Sepp MEDICAL POT SHOT DOWN IN US JUNE 6, 2005. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government can prosecute a person who uses marijuana for medical purposes---even in those states that have passed laws allowing such use, and even where the pot is not crossing state lines, and even if the pot is grown in the patient's back yard, and even if no money changes hands. The thinking of this august bunch of legal goons has several vectors: growing free pot for medical purposes could (COULD) LEAD TO wider use and sale of the plant; people might say they're sick and need pot, when they aren't sick; in a state like California, where a referendum was passed permitting medical use, referendum was somehow less substantial than a law passed in the legislature would have been. This all adds up to a blow against pot, against free choice, against states rights vis-a-vis the power of the federal government---and perhaps most important of all---against the inherent power of the people to defect from and opt out of treatment with pharmaceuticals. Because surely, this decision of the Supremes is a tip of the hat to the legal drug industry. " Our drugs, not your drugs. " Many so-called " states-rights conservatives " (who actually stand for their own peculiar brand of federal power over the power of the states) are haunted by dreams of people holding a joint in their hands and smiling---these upright conservatives would rather picture a person zonked on a tranq watching TV game shows. That's much more American. Well, compare the effects of pot versus the effects of the recently withdrawn Vioxx, the painkiller that was causing thousands of heart attacks and strokes. Booze, too, is much more American than pot. Booze is good. It conjures up pics of hard-charging businessmen checking out of their brains in hotels all over this great nation. Booze is associated with work; pot is associated with slacking. With pot, you might actually entertain a thought that is out of the mainstream. With booze, you're safe. You're still in the trap. You're part of the herd. You're up, and then down and out, in the same framework. You don't move off center. Face it. Lawmakers and " good Americans " everywhere are terrified of individual choice. It wobbles the great ship of state. It suggests that the rabid consumer culture might not be the greatest thing ever invented. DUI and vehicular homicide are American. Smoking weed and not leaving the house are criminal. I offer this: in every industrialized country in the world, people continue to find ways to destroy their own lives. These ways are too numerous to mention. But most of them are legal. They're acceptable. For example, a parent can have a doctor inject a vaccine loaded with mercury and aluminum and various germs directly into his/her baby. This is good. This is right. This is playing the game according to the rules. Autism is politically correct. But when an adult smokes a joint, he is going outside the consensus story artifically told by our magnificent leaders. That's a five-alarm fire. That's a nightmare. That's a terrible threat. That's worse than murder. One poke on a joint deserves a death sentence. Quick trial, no appeal, and then lights out. Then we can get back on track. Fill up the churches. Vote for the Republicrats. Wave the flag. Support our troops. Watch The Price is Right. I never liked the medical marijuana stratagem. It was a detour all along. If free choice by adult citizens across the board---for any reason---was going to be approached like some Everest by devious means, it was bound to fail. You can have actual freedom or you can have actual slavery. Choice, no choice. Which is why I want to see a list of every chemical substance ingested by each Supreme Court justice. Each drug, each type of booze. Daily dosages. Let's see what choices they're making. What's Bush dropping? And Kerry, Gore, Clinton, Frist, Ted Kennedy? Is there a Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil in the crowd? Feel safe, citizen. Feel very safe. Don't worry, be happy. Codex is trying its ass off to destroy the nutritional supplement industry. Thank God. We need more Prozacs and more Paxils and more school shootings. School shootings and the media-covered grief follow-ups are truly American. Some dude wandering off to look at a stream with a joint in his hand is the bane of us all. He is an infection, a germ, and we must destroy him. He is ANTI. He is a foul worm in the body-dollar-politic. Thank you, Supreme Court. Thank you Eli Lilly. You light up my life.
