THE CASE FOR HEMP
A Special "Reality Check" Report by Gozarks

1961 - 1962 Anslinger is forced to retire as the head of the Federal Narcotics Bureau (now the DEA) by President Kennedy after trying to censor the publications and blackmail and harass the publishers of Professor Alfred Lindsmith of Indiana University who wrote, among other works, “The Addict and the Law” (Washington Post, 1961). U.S. Medical research into the beneficial properties of cannabis resumes after nearly 3 decades of Anslinger’s prohibition.

Credible sources report that President Kennedy routinely uses marijuana to relieve his back pain and plans to have the drug legalized

1981 Petitions are circulated among “War on Drugs” groups calling for immediate Presidential clemency and aggrandizement as a “national hero” of Mark Chapman for his murder of John Lennon of the Beatles (because Lennon was an “evil man” who had “turned-on” the world to “illicit drugs”). Other “War on Drugs” campaign propaganda calls for the jailing of people who listen to or play any type of music that is not on an "approved" list. A covert censorship of television and radio programs begins, keeping pro-marijuana commentary, including sit-com jokes, off the public air-waves.

Drs. Ungerlieder and Shaeffer of UCLA study 10 of America’s “heaviest” pot smokers who have each been inhaling huge amounts of highly potent cannabis smoke daily for over 10 years. They conclude that there are absolutely no brain differences between the study subjects and non-cannabis smokers.

1982 Vice-President George Bush is ordered by the Supreme court to stop (illegally) lobbying the IRS on behalf of drug companies.

Noted authorities attest that if marijuana were legalized it would immediately replace 10% to 20% of all (chemical compound) prescription medicines. Omni magazine and other sources report that Eli Lilly, Abbott Labs, Pfizer, Smith, Kline & French and other drug companies would lose hundreds of millions to billions of dollars annually if marijuana were legal in the U.S.



DEA Success Update: Let's see. After 20 years of relentless federal Drug War activity,
while the price of world-class marijuana has gone from $60 an ounce to $450,
the price of quality cocaine has plummeted from $125 a gram to $30,
and 30%-pure heroin has dropped from $700 a gram to about $100. Way to go, boys!
High Times, April 1995

American High Society

Enlightenment, term applied to the mainstream of thought of 18th-century Europe and America.

The major champions of these concepts were the philosophes, who popularized and promulgated the new ideas for the general reading public. These proponents of the Enlightenment shared certain basic attitudes. With supreme faith in rationality, they sought to discover and to act upon universally valid principles governing humanity, nature, and society. They variously attacked spiritual and scientific authority, dogmatism, intolerance, censorship, and economic and social restraints. They considered the state the proper and rational instrument of progress. The extreme rationalism and skepticism of the age led naturally to deism; the same qualities played a part in bringing the later reaction of romanticism. The Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot epitomized the spirit of the Age of Enlightenment, or Age of Reason, as it is also called.

Just about everyone in Hollywood who hears about the Hollywood Blacklist of old declares, "If I had been there, I would have…" and then proclaims one bold and daring act of creative freedom-fighting after another. Some, especially those who were not there, have contempt for anyone who cooperated with the Blacklist in any way. But I’ll bet that even those who recently blackballed Elia Kazan from industry recognition because of his participation in the old Blacklist have knuckled under to the current Blacklist time and time again.

Yes, there is a Blacklist—a code of censorship imposed by Washington—that nearly everyone in Hollywood religiously adheres to. It is more insidious than the anticommunist Blacklist of half a century ago because no one discusses it. No one has to—everyone self-censors. The Blacklist is so ubiquitous that most people are not even aware of it any more. It just is.

It is Hollywood’s most revered sacred cow. What is on this Blacklist? The D-word. Drugs. Specifically, any mention of illicit drugs as enjoyable, productive, illuminating, or healing. These are precisely the experiences most people who take drugs have—that’s why people continue to take them. And yet, for more than a decade, Hollywood has willingly, almost enthusiastically, censored this simple fact of life, just as it censored other facts of life in generations past, generations we now laugh at for their foolish knuckling under to Puritanism.

The Clinton administration maintains that marijuana is illegal under federal law and has pledged to punish doctors who recommend its use. A key part of the federal plan was a threat that physicians who recommend marijuana to patients could lose their right to prescribe drugs, face cutoff from Medicare and Medicaid eligibility and be exposed to criminal prosecution.

Bush, Ashcroft Ask Supreme Court for Permission to Punish Doctors
Who Recommend Medical Marijuana 7/18/03
Since the laws in all nine states where medical marijuana is legal (Maryland, the ninth state, retains a token fine for medical marijuana users) require some sort of physician recommendation mechanism, an adverse ruling in the Supreme Court could effectively neutralize those laws -- if no doctor will recommend for fear of losing his prescription license, no patient can meet that requirement. At the least, it would have a chilling effect on doctor-patient communication about medical marijuana. "Doctors would begin censoring their conversations with patients,"

Censored Minds
A Short Outline of the Dope Wars (part 1 of 4) by Gary Stimeling

Today more than ever it is the duty of lawmakers and public officials to fight these poisons that are destroying our society, such as heroin, cocaine, and other narcotics. We must wipe out their sale and prevent their use in medical practice. The future health of our society diminishes as the number of physically ruined and mentally incompetent drug addicts increases. These are not the words of John Ashcroft or Barry McCaffrey. This hackneyed call to action was written by a doctor of the Third Reich in support of Hitler’s Rauschgiftbekämpfung , or War on Drugs

"I am opposed to any form of tyranny over the mind of man."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Hitler on Mescaline

"Hitler wanted to enhance his occult powers further. He had already used the meditation techniques that he had learned about while studying the Eastern religions. But that proved too slow for him. Earnest Pretzsche, a used book dealer, introduced him to a psychedelic drug containing mescaline. This quickly produced clairvoyant visions that led Hitler to believed he had tapped into supernatural powers he could use for his own purposes."

Bushit Rumcheney Cocktail:Fascist Nationalism and MKULTRA

For many Americans, the 1950s were a docile decade. In U.S. history books, the period is mostly portrayed as a mellow, orderly one, especially in light of the social upheavals that followed in the 1960s. But for the CIA, the I Like Ike years were packed with adventure and action, much of it conducted outside of the public's view. Few programs were sheltered with more secrecy than the Agency's mind control experiments, identified together with the code-name MKULTRA.


During World War II, methamphetamine was used to keep soldiers fighting. It was used by the Axis Forces, but Amphetamine was used by the Allied Forces. The Allied Forces used a pharmaceutical grade of Amphetamine manufactured in chemistry labs. The Axis Forces used Methamphetamine manufactured using a method that Hitler discovered (Nazi Method) that was manufactured in make-shift labs. Hitler himself was a Methamphetamine addict and the Japanese Kamikaze pilots used Methamphetamine before almost every flight because it made them more alert and they could fly for longer periods of time.

ACLU Urges Federal Court

CENSORSHIP
How the Evolution of Censorship Reflects our Changing Interests as a Society...
This site is dedicated to understanding censorship and how it has affected our culture. In the past, the written word was extremely powerful. Because of this, the government and different religious groups felt it was necessary to keep control over the people by limiting what they were reading. This limited the influence of controversial books. Books were seen as controversial if they addressed the misconduct of the government or a religion. Today, we are a more fast paced society. We are constantly bombarded by music, television, movies, and the internet. Because these forms of entertainment and information are so prevalent, they are strictly censored.

The Slippery Slope of Self-Censorship

Hatch-Feinstein Act Tramples First Amendment!
The agency's data indicates that almost 70 million Americans have tried marijuana at some point in their lives and 18 million have smoked within the past year.

Given this data, one must ask "what are some in the government trying to hide?" The Hatch-Feinstein bill is trying to put an end to the already one-sided debate as to whether some or all drugs should be illegal.

Since it is evident that Americans are not listening to what their government says about at least some illegal drugs, the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act has been drafted to just shut dissenters up.

As with all laws that attempt to regulate the Internet, the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act will be impossible to enforce universally. Still, the law could be used to send certain high-profile dissenters to jail and strike fear into anyone who wants to distribute information some kinds of drug-related information.

The government's War on Marijuana Smokers has created an atmosphere of self censorship--speaking of hemp in a positive manner is considered taboo.

Moldenhauer argues the fests are designed only to promote the benefits of hemp -- the plant from which marijuana is derived and to educate people about the government. He said police quashed Saturday's fest, not because of its hemp theme, but because they wanted to censor his views.

"They intended to shut it down primarily to silence me," he said.

Indian Hemp Drugs Commission Tod H. Mikuriya, M.D
Centennial Thoughts
This monumental study exposes the overriding and pervasive powers of contemporary collective denial and moral failure underpinning policies of cannabis prohibition. Motivated by convenient moralism, questions are repeatedly disingenuously raised concerning the harm of hemp drugs, cannabis, or marijuana. The engine of agitprop bureaucratic ire fires up. Hearings are scheduled, witnesses heard, proceedings transcribed, summarized, presented to the requesting organization, discussed, filed, and forgotten. The prohibition policies go on. Enforcement, corrections systems strain under the demands of majoritarian magical beliefs in coercive powers of Government; promoted by continuing self-serving Government misinformation and censorship. From the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission's policy perspective, today's drug polices would be unthinkable.

Censored
As long as humans have sought to communicate, others have sought to prevent them. Every day someone tries to restrict or control what can be said, written, sung, or broadcast. Almost every idea ever thought has proved objectionable to one person or another, and almost everyone has sometimes felt the world would be a better place if only "so and so" would go away.

Perhaps because of their ubiquity, books, especially public and school library books, are among the most visible targets. Books are hardly the only target of would-be censors, however. Free expression is constantly challenged in the arts, in broadcast media, and on the Internet.

A Drug Warmongers Toll on the Americans

Officially GOPerverted

* On the Larry King Show in late 1989, then drug czar William Bennett, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2000, said he had no moral problems with beheading drug dealers -only legal ones.

"If we are surrounded by the trivial and the vicious,
it is all too easy to make our peace with it."
*William Bennett

Bill Bendit's Bad Bet: The Bookmaker of Virtues Excerpts

Bennett's gambling never hurt anyone else. This is, of course, the classic libertarian standard of permissible behavior, and I think it's a good one. If a hypocrite is a person who says one thing and does another, the problem with Bennett is what he says—not (as far as we know) what he does. Bennett can't plead liberty now because opposing libertarianism is what his sundry crusades are all about. He wants to put marijuana smokers in jail. He wants to make it harder to get divorced. He wants more "moral criticism of homosexuality" and "declining to accept that what they do is right."

In all these cases, Bennett wants laws against or heightened social disapproval of activities that have no direct harmful effects on anyone except the participants. He argues that the activities in question are encouraging other, more harmful activities, or are eroding general social norms in some vague way. Empower America, one of Bennett's several shirt-pocket mass movements, officially opposes the spread of legalized gambling...

Even as an innocent hobby, playing the slots is about as far as you can get from the image Bennett paints of his notion of the Good Life. Surely even a high-roller can't "cycle through" $8 million so quickly that family, church, and community don't suffer. There are preachers who can preach an ideal they don't themselves meet and even use their own weaknesses as part of the lesson. Bill Bennett has not been such a preacher. He is smug, disdainful, intolerant. He gambled on bluster, and lost.
