Legal Cannabis In Canada - Over-Grow The Government!

Before we all start jumping up and down and celebrating the "legalization" of cannabis, let's look at some of the facts of the matter together and take a look at this from a holistic perspective. To me cannabis has always been a God-given right, something the stroke of a pen could neither grant nor take away.

One of my favorite quotes regarding cannabis legislation (or any other natural substance regulations) is from the late Bill Hicks, who said:

“Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?”

Criminal Law

There may be those of you reading who still believe in the legitimacy and false authority of government, out of love and respect I would like to point you towards my short essay on The Applied Philosophy Of Anarchy.

The fact of the matter is that every single government on the face of the earth is guilty of, at the very least;

  • Embezzling money
  • Poor management (not doing the jobs they are getting paid to do)
  • Lying in the course of duty
  • Corporate favoritism, choosing profits over people
  • Implementing health practices that harm citizens (fluoride in drinking water, dangerous vaccines, unhealthy food and drugs)

Even when discussing issues with supporters of government (statists) I find that all of the above is common knowledge. What is disturbing is that a statist somehow accepts all of these things as part of necessary reality and looks at them as something we need to vote away, as if the same entity that created and profits from the problems, can somehow be petitioned to reconsider our best interests. A statist will also deny all of the following facts;

  • Governments are not here for the best interest of the people. They are here to control. In Latin, the word government literally translates to mind-control. If you think this was done by accident when developing the English language you are most definitely mistaken.
  • Every consumable industry under the control of the government does more harm then good. Think of pharmaceuticals, health-care, food, tobacco, alcohol. These industries, under the regulation of government, are killing our societies.
  • Governments are the main cause of death on the face of the Earth consistently throughout history.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
-Aristotle

Many don't see the totality of this statement. As the sentence itself deals with the positive accepting many have come to understand this as being able to consider an idea you are presented with without accepting it. But read the quote again. What he is saying is you need to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Please recognize that your thought could be inclined towards acceptance or rejection of an idea you are presented with, it is this thought of which he speaks. It is in this spirit that I would like you to consider all the facts presented about government above.

If any of the above be true and I will state it is all fact, the governments are run by criminals. Just let that sink in.

Yay Legalization

With the consideration of the above facts, are we really convinced that control and regulation of a natural healing plant that is responsible for zero deaths and has no independent clinically proven negative health effects, is in safe hands with these criminals? Are we going to see death and disease related to cannabis becoming prevalent? Of course this would relate to higher costs, more taxation and further control of cannabis. It's happened with everything else, but nah, it can't happen with cannabis! There's that government (mind-control) kicking in...

The truth is, legal cannabis will be most or all of the following;

  • Expensive (costs of store fronts, distribution, taxation, fancy packaging, etc)
  • GMO (already in the works)
  • Irradiated (I know at least a couple licensed producers follow this practice)
  • Not organic (just like at the grocery store you will have some organic options)
  • Produced strictly for profit (these companies are worth billions and are traded on the stock market. If you don't know how the recall process for contaminated and deficient products for corporations such as this works, I suggest you look into it)

Take a look online at the recalls of medical cannabis and lists of chemicals approved for use by licensed producers in Canada. But we can trust them...

Overgrow The Governments

Growing your own, or knowing the grower personally is the only way to really know what is in your cannabis. I highly advocate producing your own cannabis, fully recognizing we are under adverse societal conditions not allowing this to be practical for everyone. I would love to see any who are willing and able to start planting seeds! Cannabis Growers of Canada is an organization passionately fighting to protect the industry from these corporate criminals who are stealing it from the very people who built it. They also work to promote craft cannabis producers in Canada. Check out their website! By growing our own and supporting local craft producers we have a chance of beating these criminals and OVER-GROWING THE GOVERNMENT!
