yo man I be diggin your rap and all but you have allowed your thinking to become uptight about all this. and more than a bit naive. yeah sure the war on drugs is counterproductive and creates criminals out of easy going hipsters wanting to use a mild eurphoric far less dangerous than alcohol. but man surely you must be aware of the highly lucrative prison industry - and the great political value of waxing righteously indignant bout drug use (all lumped together) as a way to change the subject and take attention away from the massive corruption in every bit of legislation these corporate slaves pass (and throw another bone to the religious wackos). this golden goose will never be put to pasture. surely you realize republicans and many craven democrats without morals care nothing about the human cost.

and another thing. dude, you are taking a valuable personal experience and making it a transcendent truth for all. I used a ton of pot at one time until I got into acid and after that a single toke makes me so paranoid and climbing the walls that I have to drink a gallon of booze to calm down. so your treatment is not for everyone and many people have this reaction to pot without the acid precursor. your campaign and purpose in life crusade is a bit warped by its assumptions that this will work for most or even many. besides, this cure has occured to most people. this is like a useful anecdote which may help those who are already inclined to such remedies. but as a larger effort against the war on drugs, I am doubtful - but supportive nonetheless.
