CONSTITUTION DOESN'T BAR GROWTH, USE OF CANNABIS

The government has no business attempting to determine the course of
individual human lives. Personal choices exist for all humans and no
government can take them away. We have to respect one another's
private space and personal choices.

Our personal freedoms are of great importance and we must work more
earnestly to defend them. We no longer live in the Dark Ages, when
ignorance, superstition and falsehood crept into the consciences of
men. This is a new age, and if our nation is to prosper, we must have
pure freedom.

The U.S. Constitution holds precedence over all. If there be a law
which is unconstitutional, then we the people have the authority to
strike it down. The laws and principles of our founding fathers must
be the laws and principles of today. There is no need for one false
law that infringes upon the rights of the American people.

There were no false laws against cannabis at the time of our founding
fathers and there is no need for such false laws today. Growing and
using cannabis is acceptable under the Constitution. The implied
powers of the Constitution dictate that no one may infringe upon our
life, liberty or pursuit of happiness. Growing and using cannabis is
acceptable under the laws of nature and nature's god.

It is only the weak Tories who seek to take the American people's
personal choices and rights away. Let every American individual of age
decide for themselves. Let freedom ring.
