It is quite clear to me, that if our Congressmen and Senators all sat down , read, and understood the Constitution of The United States, that the war on drugs would be over in a matter of days.
 After all, federal laws against drugs are totally unconstitutional. That is a State issue, if you read and understand the constitution. If that happened, our Government would be building rehab centers instead of prisons. Our schools would be teaching our children the truth instead of the lies they are teaching now. Then kids wouldn't have to go out and try drugs to learn the truths about which ones they were lied to about. Policemen, when called by parents concerned over their kids using drugs,  could help get kids to doctors for help when bad drugs have been used.
If our elected officials were that smart, then drug use in this country would go way down for sure.

JUST SAY NO !
As an Ordained Minister and a patriotic American, I say it is time to just say NO to the war on drugs !  Yes, drugs are bad and hurt lives, but the truly bad drugs should be a health issue, not a legal one.
As a minister, I have been told by several people with chemical drug addictions, that they would try to get help if they weren't afraid of being arrested. But as for the legal side of it, the war on drugs is unconstitutional. The men that wrote the Constitution of the United States were  an extremely intelligent group of men.  They wrote it the way they did so that our government could never have too much power over the individual states or our rights as Americans. After all, to form this government, they were declaring war against their existing government of Great Britain. The Constitution clearly states that federal law covers this, that, and the other. ALL other laws are to be made on a state to state basis. drugs... are not covered in this, that, and the other.
So by our constitution it is clear that our Government had no Constitutional right to make federal laws against drugs. Hemp, nowadays more commonly known as marijuana, and a big part of the war on drugs where I live, is what was used to make the paper that the Constitution of the United States is printed on. It was also used for the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson risked being beheaded by going to China and smuggling hemp seed out. Benjamin Franklin started the first paper mill in America, and it was all made with hemp. Our forefathers saw it as the most important plant on the planet. Yes, including all 56 of the men that signed The Declaration of Independence. Without it, we never would have won the war against Britain. Wars were fought over hemp, I was taught about it in school and you probably were too if you were listening. The first hemp law in this country did not come in the 1980's with the war on drugs.  The first laws on hemp in this country were passed in 1783. They were 'must grow' laws !  If you were a farmer living in this country and you didn't grow hemp, you would be jailed or kicked out of the country as a non- patriot.
In fact, hemp was legal tender ( Money ) in all of America from 1631 through the early 1800's. Learn about these and many other hemp facts by reading  the book " The Emperor Wears No Clothes " by Jack Herer, a book about American hemp history. ( or online at:  jackherer.com)  I bring this up now because on 9/4/2002, I was the victim of a terrorist attack !   The terrorists were ALL New York State Troopers. The troopers were well aware that I am disabled. They were also aware that pulling into my driveway with more than one police car, would set off my disabilities in a heartbeat.  That said, an out-and-out terrorist attack is the ONLY reason that they were there. I am still trying to calm down enough to figure out what to do about this attack. It has made me very sick and I have been unable to leave my yard ever since for fear of being attacked again by the terrorists on the road. ( Update ! I have figured out what to do, stand proud as an American ! I was in the right that day. It was the police in the wrong ! ) My land was invaded, and there was NO reason for police to have been at my house that day. I don't grow hemp and hemp growers is what they were looking for. I saw more laws broken by state troopers that day, than I have broken in the last 41 years by far ! ( I am 41 year old ) They broke trespassing laws, civil rights laws, Federal Aviation laws,  twice state police slandered my name in front of witnesses.  The list goes on... but I am stopping here.  The only New York State Trooper that wasn't rude to me or my family of all of the ones we talked to that day, was Officer Van Zandt.  If it wasn't for him, I would have NO respect for any state troopers at this time in my local area. So to Officer Van Zandt, I am sorry if I was rude to you !    So America, ..... It is time to just say no to this 20+ year long war against God and the American people as a whole. You know the God, it is the one on your money.  

Genesis 1:29
"And God said behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon all of the face of the Earth, and every tree with seed in it's fruit; you shall have them for food."

Not only does hemp have seeds, scientist say that hemp seeds are one of the two most nutritious food sources known to man !  So be an American and, or a true Christian, and  just say no to this war against our Constitution and God !

Since this attack I have been asking local people this question:  Have you personally felt more terrorized in your life by Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, or the New York State police ?  The responses that I have received at this point are 50+ people said,.. state police. One said none of the above, and one just wanted to talk about all of the law the police break. So far, no one that I have talked to has named either of the other two men when asked that question. That to me is sad, living less then 300 miles from where the Twin Towers once stood.  So America it is time to take our Great Nation back and give it back to the people and just say no !

Click here to learn about the 56 men that signed our Declaration of Independence. There story is on my page about terrorism. After all, if you believe in what our current Government is doing, than those 56 men were all terrorists. I personally think our current Government is in the wrong, not those 56 men !  Without the 'Hemp' plant ( put here by 'God' ) and those 56 brave men, The United states of America, would not be here today.

Please remember, America will only be free for as
long as American citizens will stand and be brave.
 

  ( Side note: I use the word 'Hemp' in this story. To those of you that don't know what hemp is, it is what the police and law makers call  'marijuana'.  I don't call it that much because  'marijuana' is a slang word,  the same way 'Pot' is used as a slang word for hemp now here in America. The word 'marijuana' was never used in this Country until the 1930's, started by an organized crime mentality for personal gain. They did this to get laws passed against the #1 plant in the country 'Hemp'.  At that time, hemp, or the cannabis plant  ( hemp and cannabis are the same thing ) was in 80+% of ALL human medicines.  FACT ! To learn more, please read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", a book on American Hemp history written by  Jack Herer.  found online at:  jackherer.com After all, laws against 'Hemp' are 100% UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This side note is for those of you that didn't know that hemp, marijuana, cannabis, and pot, are all the same thing.  I bring this to you because, my socials studies teacher told my class that 'Hemp' and 'marijuana' were totally different plants.  He lied or was misinformed, they are one in the same. )
