Sea Change

Well, in keeping with the drug theme of the past couple posts. This bit of news probably stands as one of the bigger drug news stories since Carter’s nearly successful attempt to decriminalize marijuana in the late seventies (before the drug scandal… see a classic episode of Benson for a sitcom interpretation of the events to a degree)

So here’s the news, Mexico set to decriminalize some drug use. This legislation would turn Mexico into a premiere college vacation destination at least. It will definitely throw a monkey wrench into the attempts at the U.S. to prop up our imposed puritanical prohibitionist schemes south of the border. Perhaps the kids at CU Boulder need to try going there next 4/20. Here’s a question regarding the CU Boulder, do you get $50 if you turn yourself in?

Up next post, a recount of my trip to Manzanar (Japanese Relocation Camp) yesterday with Tim. Just in case anyone has unflagging faith in the U.S. gov’t to Do The Right Thing (TM)… the fact that nearly every Japanese/Japanese-American became an alien after an attack scare in LA and were forced to move into hastily constructed army barracks in remote locations throughout the U.S. should serve to make us think twice about trusting everything our system cooks up. The tyranny of the majority and mob psychology make for some pretty disturbing things.
