"Just the fact that cannabis is described by the Feds a a "narcotic" belies their unscientific prejudice. Opium and its derivatives are narcotics, marijuana is a cannabinoid. But whoever said the Feds believe in science." - Rachel Cogent

"And you can bet that Big Pharma hates what is happening. I would support any legislation to localize economies. In fact, let's have some state-imposed tariffs on luxury consumables like sugar and alcohol. Give the in-state producers some incentive." - Rachel Cogent

"Isn't there something in the First Amendment to the Constitution that prohibits this kind of Taliban style theocracy?" - Rachel Cogent

"I'm really hyped about this being a local sustainable "green" (LOL) economy rather than pharmaceutical dollars funneling to giant multinational corporations. Let's have more such legislation!" - Rachel Cogent

"Not too surprising really. The Census is a truly democratic institution that identifies minority populations and socialistically funnels resources to them. An accurate census has been the bellwether of democracy for generations of distrustful immigrants. In the historical past, new immigrants had to be lubricated with promises that the government had their best interest in mind, because immigrants had learned to lie to the government every chance they had. Bachmann's fear of census taking is a throwback to a century ago." - Rachel Cogent

"I sure would support any legislation to tax sugary products." - Rachel Cogent

"Heather Wilson is an expert on national security? A better description would be warmonger for the military industrial complex." - Rachel Cogent

"Well it's obvious, if you were an Indian working for some American corporation at the call center you would call yourself Patty instead of Padma. So this ex-Marine sees Taos as being colonized by himself. The foreigner works for him, so his name should be called Martin rather than Marteen. The 3rd world in being conquered by Texas. Just like Iraq." - Rachel Cogent

"Cool, tnx." - Rachel Cogent

"Someday terminally ill people will wax nostalgic for the good old days when cannabis smokers would just get thrown in prison and spend their dying days safely behind bars. I guess they will have to find another minority to fill our ubiquitous prisons with, and finally offer actual medical care to HIV patients." - Rachel Cogent

"Take the Railrunner and buy local food. We already have too much interstate commerce." - Rachel Cogent
