THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

When our Founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States, they did so with the premise and belief that the Citizens should no longer have to live in fear of their government. Freedom and Individual rights represented the cornerstone of the new Country. 

Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding fathers, put it this way:

"WHEN GOVERNMENTS FEAR THE PEOPLE, THERE IS LIBERTY. WHEN THE PEOPLE FEAR THE GOVERNMENT, THERE IS TYRANNY."
Thomas Jefferson - 3rd United States President - 1801-1809

Think of the many ways in which the Citizen population once again lives in fear of its own Government. I would argue that as a Country, the Government has in many ways lost sight of the great principles upon which our country was founded. As many of you probably know, the Prohibition against Marijuana did not always exist. The Constitution was even written on paper made from Hemp.
Putting an end to the Prohibition of Marijuana, is truly an issue of restoring a Freedom that has been taken away by the Government.
