The Conformist Bigots of the Cannabis Lobby

I think it very funny that an unadorned recitation ('High and Violent', posted on Thursday afternoon) of a few factual stories from several newspapers over the last few years, the fruit (as clearly stated above) of a brief search, making no wider claims than that the image of cannabis as an invariably peaceful drug is questionable, should have aroused the excited storm of spittle from the drug lobby which we see here. Not to mention the curiously uniform references to 'reefer madness'. The selfish rage of the cannabis campaign is aroused by the mere existence of anyone who doesn't bow down to it. It would dearly love to censor and silence anyone who casts doubt upon its various self-serving beliefs.

While I'm happy to allow these people to post their drivel here about 'medicinal marijuana' ( I am sorry for them, really), they are genuinely enraged that I should dare to oppose them. Maybe they will succeed in their attempt to silence opposition. Let us hope not. But I think what we see here is a clear indication that these people, who (risibly) regard themselves as a liberation movement, are at heart intolerant conformists, who loathe dissent and hate dissenters far more than any suburban bigot ever did in 1950s Surrey. Not surprising, given that their drug of choice is one of the most powerful weapons ever placed in the hands of an authoritarian state - a substance which makes most (though clearly not all) of its users docile and conformist, and which does not even have to be forced into them, or secretly put in the water supply. They actually take it voluntarily, and enter their mental serfdom with joy and laughter. Oh Brave New World, that has such people in it ! But anyone who says this filth is not a poison should see what it did to Henry Cockburn, and then tell me with a straight face that it is safe.
