"Drug" is a word that carries too much political baggage, and besides, using one politically-framed word to describe these substances is like calling all ocean life "fish."

Our American season is one of political oppression under the War on Drugs. Individual lives are being ruined, families broken apart, property seized, the unwanted and the mentally ill incarcerated, while liberty is slowly and deliberately suffocated. All because of a series of bad ideas that result in the War on Drugs. The 1969 Controlled Substances Act is a body of distorted scientific data that has no Constitutionally reasonable basis. Yet, it persists still to this day. The government will not correct itself anytime soon. Correction is the job of We The People, and We must be heard.
