Oregon Promotes Alcohol, Demonizes Cannabis

Funny, Oregon will promote one drug while simultaneously demonizing another. It's scientific fact that cannabis is safer than alcohol by every possible measure. Unlike alcohol, cannabis isn't addictive, cannabis doesn't kill brain cells, cannabis doesn't contribue to various types of cancer (it actually helps fight cancer), and it isn't a gateway to stronger drugs like alcohol.

Instead of wasting all these resources fighting against cannabis like we did with wine vineyards, breweries, and speakeasies with alcohol prohibition, we need to utilize, civilize, and capitalize on this market, this industry that will not cease to exist. The cannabis industry will only grow and prosper, providing the state with millions in revenue and taxes, along with thousands of jobs, like our flourishing wine and microbrewery industries have provided here in Oregon. At the same time, we'd be saving million of dollars currently spent on cannabis prohibition enforcement.

Information sources widely available on the internet, and other resources like Cannabis TV, channel 15 Wednedsays at 8pm, are helping educate people and dispell the propaganda and lies that have been fed to us by the DEA and other groups like the DARE program who tell us cannabis is deadly, addictive and a gateway to stronger drugs, all of which are scientifically and medically completely false. Get active in cannabis law reform if you don't want to worry about being "outed" for choosing a substance safer than tobacco, alcohol and caffeine.
