Subject: Must reading for legislators
Subject: Must reading for legislators
If legislators care more about truth than about throwing minorities in jail, they should read this book. It's actually honest and fact-based -- as opposed to almost everything else written about drugs today, which presuppose all the lies that we were taught in grade school when we received our first teddy bear from DARE for just saying no to nature's godsend medicines.
Spoiler alert: the basic thesis of the book is this:
Billion-dollar agencies like the DEA hone in on a local drug issue and parlay it into a "national crisis" with the help of TV shows like 48 Hours. This keeps the DEA in business for life. Meanwhile, it publicizes the drugs in question to ignorant young people around the nation, increasing drug use, making the DEA still more relevant. Meanwhile, the DEA has no interest in teaching safe use. It's a multi-billion-dollar scam designed to throw minority voters in jail and to justify America's imperialist policies in Latin America and around the globe.
