2020: The decade of prohibition 2.0? Only if we allow it.

Welcome to 2020, the age of regulatory America where you can sign up to kill people overseas at 18, be permitted to operate dangerous and deadly machinery at 16 but NOT smoke tobacco until you're 21 and god forbid you smoke cannabis in the wrong state. Are we any more independent as Americans now than we were in prohibition era 1920? After 100 years of seeing the negative effects of excessive regulation, we as the american people are still letting our policy makers get away with it.



With taxes in excess of 20% in some states and home grow rights still prohibited in most, can we really look back at the last decade and claim we've made progress? Cannabis arrests still continue by the dozens daily, families are being separated in custody court over a parents cannabis use and people are still unable to obtain access to certain job markets if they can't pee in a cup free of THC. Even within the industry the discrimination continues. Business owners in the cannabis space can not access federal banking or arm their security guards leaving their stores powerless in the event of an invasion.


Consider all the injustices,think about the last time you were excluded from an activity because of your cannabis use. Is this what you think we the American people deserve? DO you think that we the people are so powerless in this country that we have to accept it?


"well... at least it's legal now and people aren't in jail"


FALSE! There is 1 arrest every 50 seconds in this country for cannabis possession, where exactly is the legality in that?


"They should have been growing legally!"


Consider a home farmer growing tomatoes and selling them at the local farmers market. Lets assume they don't have their insecure in order with the state and haven't paid a capital gains tax. Is the appropriate response to spend tens of thousands of dollars in tax payer resources to send a swat team to that tomato farmers house? No... that person gets a notice to appear in court in the mail. Why is this different for the cannabis farmer?


In 2020 we all need to have 20/20 vision looking back and be sure we correct the mistakes of the last 100 years of prohibition. Join the revolution HERE for free, take the pledge and declare to the world that you are standing on the side of freedom in this drug war that none of us signed up for.
