“Marijuana: Making Criminals Out of Honest People Since 1937”
My Commentary: Kidnapped at gunpoint and locked in a cage for consuming a non-toxic plant? Seems legit!

“Hemp Returns to America for the First Time in 60 YEARS”
http://www.survivalandbeyond.net/industrial-hemp-returns-to-america/
My Commentary: It’s about time! So long as Americans don’t cave in to more pathetic “drug war” propaganda and lies, the timber, cotton and oil industries can say finally begin to say goodbye to their government-enforced monopolies over the vast majority of the world’s textile, paper and fuel production – which incidentally rely heavily upon a wasteful and obsolete business model of artificial scarcity and price gouging in order to continue reaping the enormous profits they have grown so accustomed to over the centuries, while also keeping them in constant receipt of corporate welfare (AKA “subsidies”), and unreasonably rewarding them for destroying the entire ecosystem! These are some of the same industries that have continuously lobbied for government-sponsored military intervention in those commodity-rich sovereign foreign nations that are unwilling to be subdued and imperialized in the name of “progress” and “industrialization,” both currently, and historically!
Hemp, for the win! It is a superior source for the world’s textiles, paper, and fuel. It contains more cellulose than both timber and cotton, it gestates in a mere six weeks, it does not significantly deplete the soil it grows on (hence requiring almost no crop rotation), it requires little to no fertilizers, it does not need to be sprayed with pesticides (since the negligible amount of THC within it deters insects, naturally), and it also makes for a great bio-fuel, along with a form of eco-friendly plastic, and even a type of “concrete” (hempcrete, which is vastly stronger than what we currently build with, now)! It’s time for some TRUE progress to take place!

Rayn: Just remember: No Victim, No Crime!
Stan H.: Are you referring to yourself? lol.
Rayn: I’m referring to ALL of humanity, myself included! 🙂
Stan H.: I was implying the hashish angle particularly, lol!!
Rayn: I’m not really a fan of hashish, but to each his own! 🙂
Stan H.: or her own. I thought you were because of that “valentine heart” you had up earlier.
Rayn: That wasn’t hashish! It was CANNABIS! 🙂 <3
Rayn: Hashish isn’t the rawness! It’s derived. 🙂
Stan H.: they are all pretty much the same to me
Rayn: I’m sorry to hear that. I can assure you that they are not the same. Cannabis is natural, and in the exact concentration nature intended it. Hashish, on the other hand, is a man-made derivative of cannabis, wherein the more potent chemicals within the buds are extracted, while the leafy portion is left behind, resulting in a much more concentrated substance with which to ingest or smoke. Can you understand the difference, now?

Mark Schmidter Receives 145 Days In Jail For Freedom Of Speech Due To Judge Belvin Perry:
[youtube_sc url=”CBeT4CWLN9g”]
My Commentary: Self-important scumbag judge, Belvin Perry, attempts to prevent potential jurors from understanding the concept of jury nullification through the issuance of two administrative orders against it, then imprisoning an individual for the “crime” of handing out pamphlets about the subject outside of “his” Florida courthouse… What a disgusting, miserable excuse for a human being! Why should his sickening f*ck-face see the light of day, while the victim of his pathetic, fallacious, arbitrary “order” rots in a prison cell for almost half a year? Let us all work to expose this TYRANNICAL LIZARD, and shame him back underneath the rock he crawled out from!
The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Be Kine to Your Buds!“…
Rayn: This Valentine’s day, make sure to be kine to your buds! 😉
Stan H.: What is that heart made of?
Rayn: Cannabis buds! 🙂
Stan H.: yum, j/k
Rayn: Yum! (serious)
Stan H.: bad Rayn! bad girl!
