Stephen Harper...Again!

FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU.

As a rule I'm going to begin each of my Stephen Harper rants with that. Jesus Christ, I am fucking livid. Fuck you, Harper, you're ruining this country. GET THE FUCK OUT NOW. Leave politics forever. Never come back. You're a fucking moron and I'll say it again, YOU'RE DESTROYING THE FUCKING COUNTRY. Ugh. I wish at the very least I could type in even bigger letters.

So what is this all about? Well, Stephen Harper, our "heroic" prime minister decided to take a 10 minute break from devouring kittens to pass legislation to hand out mandatory jail sentences to people growing marijuana. "Surely," you must be saying, "surely this is for people growing several hundred plants."

WRONG! It's a mandatory six month jail sentence for people growing ONE to two hundred plants and the jail time increases going beyond that. I'll say that again. ONE...to two hundred plants. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?!

Now we're in a situation where some otherwise law-abiding guy or girl can go to jail and quite possibly have their life ruined for growing ONE marijuana plant for personal use. This is completely god damned FUCKING looney tunes ridiculous.

Let's think about this. As it was, if you were caught growing you were taken to a judge who could, get this, JUDGE...and maybe let you off. But no, now it's wham, bam, six months right off the bat, possibly with more time depending on the circumstances. What, are we going to start releasing violent criminals because there is not enough room in our jails to hold the people who got caught with a damn marijuana plant?

Fuck you, Harper. I'll bet your idol George Bush comes over to your house every night and you two feast on kittens and then fuck each other in the ass on top of a pile of taxpayers' money and partially burnt flags. And here I was, stupid enough to briefly believe that our country was more progressive and reasonable than our neighbours to the south. What a kick in the nuts. Just when you think we're making some headway towards gaining back some of the freedom they're yanking away from us all at an alarming rate, they bend you over and anally rape you and set the country back decades.

It absolutely blows my mind how a group of people can decide for everyone that nature is illegal. For thousands of years people used marijuana for a plethora of different things and then a couple of assholes come along in the 20th century, spread outrageous lies, and outlaw it because it's "dangerous." It ruins lives, they say. Yeah, because you're fucking throwing people in jail for using a plant! The plant is not ruining anyone's life, your fucking lies and laws are!

IMPEACH THIS FUCKING DICKWAD RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW.

Fucking Stoners...

Damn it. I went into the store at 4:28 this afternoon hoping for this. Instead I saw this. It only happened to this one aisle too! They're like locusts.

Now the cashier is being treated for PTSD and I spent 3 hours slowly buying my munchies.

Sigh. Happy 4/20 everyone.

Obama Snubbing Marijuana Users

Before I get into the topic I had planned for tonight (slacking co-workers), I'd like to make a brief GTFOMO mention to Obama's handling of the marijuana legalization issue at today's online town hall meeting. I'm a bit hesitant because I did Prohibition recently and I don't want to turn my website into a regular commentary on the world of marijuana. However, this goes on the list because it's fairly big in the news today and it's not fair to treat the thousands of responsible, adult marijuana users of America who have serious questions about legalization in such a dismissive and joking manner.

The issue is not that he said no, he doesn't think legalization will help the economy. It's the fact that it really wasn't even treated as a serious question when it most certainly is. If he thinks legalization is not good, then fine, but the least he could have done was elaborate on why not and given the question the same respect he gave the others.

The good thing is, I'm not the only person upset about this. The internet has exploded with people commenting on the incident and most of them are saying what he did was wrong. It has gotten people talking and the more this is out there, the less he can simply shrug it off. If enough people are behind this supporting it, Obama will have to address the issue seriously.

I'm just sick of people thinking that everyone who uses marijuana
-is fat and lazy, no ambition
-is stoned all the time
-is hippy-dippy
-eats a bunch of crap, talks slow, and says "man" a lot
-can't remember anything

Look out your window and take note of the first 10 people you see. There you go, that's your average marijuana user. Notice how they're not all clueless hippies. It's time they were treated with a little respect.

Prohibition

I feel there's a vibe going around about legalization. It seems like it's closer than ever. It's been all over the news lately from Michael Phelps smoking to California introducing a bill to tax and regulate. And with Obama in office I'd say it's far from out of the question.

With the economy in the shape it's in and the huge profit to the government that legalization would bring, now is a better time than ever. NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, recently had a contest to produce a commercial promoting legalization and this one was the winner.

Unfortunately NORML does not have the funds to put this commercial on television where it would be seen by many, many more people. If you believe in the legalization on marijuana I encourage you to donate to NORML Canada.

Marijuana was made illegal in the 30s because of racist lies and propaganda. It is 2009 and we are much smarter than that now. Keeping it illegal is senseless and needs to end now. Prohibition, GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY OFFICE!
