Pot Smokers Are Violent, Dangerous Criminals – Just As Mickey Mouse Is

Yes, we are all violent, dangerous criminals. At least that's what Pontiac police would have people believe. The Superdome in their city is scheduling the First Annual International Cannabis Convention for October 29-31 (everyone should attend!) and the police department is up in arms about the whole thing.

"My concerns are the law has to be followed," said Police Chief Val Gross. As if weed smokers are felons who often break the law (well, unjust laws are made to be broken...). But of course all laws will be followed. People with medical marijuana certificates and doctors notes will probably be lighting up, following the law. The police will of course be following their own law and arresting them anyway, because they think they are the law and that Pontiac is the Wild West.

He also went on to say, funnily, that he is "always concerned about what type of crowd does it bring." Then he admits: "I don't know."

Well let's educate him a little bit. Quotes from The Benefits of Marijuana, by Joan Bello.

"The simultaneous opposing action of marijuana is akin to balancing our entire system." Weed balances our bodies. If we are depressed, it livens us up. If we are agitated or hyperactive, it will calm us down. "The net effect is a highly functioning, yet relaxed, system with better fuel." These sure sound like descriptions of "the crowd" the police chief is thinking of.

"Since marijuana works on both sides of the brain, the most noticeable effect, in our fast-paced mind set, is one of slowing down..." A person who is constantly slowed down is not the type of person who is going to rob a bank, mug a jogger or murder. We all know that smoking makes you mellow and relaxed. It makes you forget conflict and love your neighbor. Folks, here's a little secret. If we all love each other and get on happily because we're high all the time, they can't steal your money to pay for wars to steal poor people's oil and then sell it to you while taxing you again.

To further prove this, "Marijuana resolves conflict by de-emphasizing extreme aggressiveness." A person who cannot be extremely aggressive will also not be able to drop bombs or shoot other people. This is precisely why the anti-war protests since Vietnam have often been associated with hippies and pot-heads. They're terrified of us. They're terrified that we'll conquer all their hate, empire and slavery with love.

"Participants ofen become quieter, since internal silence predominates." The book also says. "Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.", goes a Buddhist saying. Imagine a society made up only of the constantly stoned. Always silent, peaceful, calm, broad and expanded mental capacities. Everyone would like weed so much they'd all be growing it in their small houses or farms. Soon they'd realize that they don't really need to go shopping any more because they can grow their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. Soon, they'd realize meat was way too expensive anyway and start eating only hazelnuts, walnuts and peanuts from their gardens instead. Their heightened state of love would make them love every human being, animal and plant on this planet. We'd all return to a farming lifestyle in small communities, have no need of some massive government besides the elders of our local communities. We'd be content and happy with where we are and build up and honor this ancient, beautiful blue sapphire in the bleakness of the void with our diligence, integrity and humanity. Imagine this and now you know why they are against us.
