This
is a message from an Autonomous Individual to the President, members of the federal
government and state governments.
I find this bickering over whether it will be
federal “authority” or state “authority” that will decide whether the people
may use marijuana to be both ridiculous and insulting.
Let me clarify this issue for you, since the
issue itself seems to be lost in ego-posturing.
The people who have the ultimate authority to decide whether the people
smoke, ingest or grow marijuana are the people themselves. This is an individual choice, not a
state or federal choice. I find it both
ironic and suspicious that president Obama would claim to understand and uphold
the personal health choices of women over their own bodies and yet somehow not
do the same for all citizens.
I’m going to make this even clearer for you. Whether I partake in marijuana is my own
choice. I personally have taken this
choice out of your hands as you’ve proven to be unfit to make it. The people are not in your hearts if you’ve
chosen so blatantly to ignore their wishes.
Many others have taken this choice out of your hands, but you have
chosen not to hear them. You have chosen
to lock them up as if your own opinions on the subject were somehow more
important than their lives, families and freedoms.
To add insult to injury, it seems that your
friends in the United Nations are trying to convince you to continue your unlawful persecution of farmers and peaceful participants. If you would promptly tell them that the
individual people here are none of their concern unless we the individual
people actually ask for their opinions, I for one would greatly appreciate it.
I am going to let you in on something that I
don’t keep a secret, anyway.
I partake in marijuana. I am going to continue to partake in
marijuana. I am going to bake it into
cookies and brownies when I have enough.
I am going to brew it into tea. I
am going to occasionally smoke it with my friends, though I try not to smoke
too much. I may even grow it. And if I don’t grow it, I will certainly buy
it.
It is my hope that I and others like me can
buy so much of it, that we can support the market to the point that for every
cultivator you lock away, three hundred more can take their place until you
each finally realize who these choices belong to and until you finally realize
that no one is going to put up with your posturing on the issue any longer.
Sincerely,
An Autonomous Individual who no longer
consents to be governed by ego-centric, power-hungry strangers.
