If you want to win, you simply need to bring more numbers to bear at the voting booth. Sure, state laws are one thing too... That's a start, but it's the federal drug laws that present a much bigger problem. Which of course, brings in the cast of characters listed above.

I don't smoke dope, I never have and I probably never will. I can't stand the smell of that shit. Hovever, I do object to the way that drug laws are enforced in this country... An unfair, racist and classist way. A way that's been in fact from the very beginning.

They provide fodder for the new slavery.

They're the biggest threat to personal liberty that's in existence today.
