A Pro-Marijuana Cartoon

"The Flower" is a short cartoon that pretty well sums up my feelings toward marijuana and it's prohibition. The scariest aspect of the war that has been raged against cannabis is that it serves as a glaring example of how effective propaganda truly can be.

How many people who vehemently oppose the use of this substance have never tried it or even been in the company of someone under it's influence? This animation, from blackmustache.com, effectively boils down a century-long mistake into three minutes of beautiful truth. High-ly recommended.

Californians, make history! Vote "yes" on Prop 19!

It's really quite a shame to see the cause of marijuana decriminalization linked to the state's desire for ever increasing tax revenues, and to state provision of services that ought to be left to other social institutions.
