Over the past several days I've been working feverishly on The Plan. In doing so, I've been corresponding with some of the "heavy hitters" when it comes to reforming current Cannabis laws. My frustration comes from those that advocate the current system. This frustration comes from state representatives, members of congress and graduate school professors. It becomes painfully apparent, after only a few messages, that the majority of these public figures do not possess the ability to think freely. All the responses seem scripted; even worse, these people apply them even when they are not applicable to the context of the debate. There are very legitimate concerns on both sides of the argument. Why aren't we "talking things out" with open minds instead of perpetuating a cycle of ignorance and lies? Why are these figures only familiar with the "facts & figures" that substantiate their beliefs and agendas? Also, how the hell is the DEA considered to be a "non-biased researcher" when it comes to marijuana figures? How are professors allowed to shape a generation of minds with their propaganda and no one is stopping their personal bias from entering the classroom?
Does the very essence of being able to "think outside the box" lie within Cannabis itself? Or is it the person that uses Cannabis, naturally more inept to think about the obscure angles? Either way it seems to present quite the conundrum. It frustrates me but does not deter me, it motivates me. As it should you, the time for change is upon us, what are you doing to be a part in it?
