How dare Governments schedule the fruits of the earth, these plants that breathe, the ones born of the earth; these are not simply products invented in labs, birthed from materials constructed by humanity. Plants have been here since time immemorial & it is our lack of knowledge concerning the sacred medicinal, pharmocological & liberating properties of these plants that will surely be the greatest achilles heel to ever pain the intellect of man, & has been.

You see it's the 'drugs' that cause the most harm that are allowed to be used culturally, even for piece of mind; substances & drugs mind you, that are polluting our bodies & gaining more economical flow into the prevention of disaster that so haunts these substances that it's a wonder why nobody hasn't put the cap on this bastard of a paradigm & whisked it away.

All of humanity has the unprecedented right as a biological & living being to alter ones state of mind for purposes of self reflection & spiritual growth; the real shamans & psychonauts know that these sacred plants are not party drugs, are not about seeing a bunch of bright lights, they are the substances that blow away the confines of culturally sanctioned boundaries & allow you to question what it is that's on your television & in the media.

Whoever took the approach & thought that they were someone incredibly special to be able to abolish the knowledge of plants & the use of these archaic plants on a cultural scale is a complete arsehole.

Goody.

Well, that is the question, isn't it? The only Natural right we have is the Right to Try. Everything else is statutory agreement (contract) between individuals and society. Individuals agree to behave by the rules of society for the benefits of society, and society agrees not to kill the individual. Unfortunately, this became lost in translation, and people forget that both sides of the contract have responsibilities: the individuals must stand up for themselves or society rolls over them with more and more society until society runs out of resources and individuals to hold it together.

In other words, get your own mob, and you can do whatever you want.
It worked for Christ (assuming the whole resurrection thing as a story point here..),Calvin, Madison, Hitler, Hoover, Jobs, Reagan, Gates, Bin Laden, it can work for YOU!!
Find something for people to have complete and utter Blind Faith in, and you could be the next world-changing, dope-smokin' ICON of Leadership. How about 'Gray Aliens of Mellowness' or something like that?
