Common Issues, Enemies!

I fully realize that all Kentucky farmers are not advocates of drugs, and I completely acknowledge and respect that. The purpose of my message is to point out that the enemies of hemp reform and the enemies of cannabis reform are the same and the ``me no marijuana'' position means less than nothing to them.
It is because I have the greatest respect for the farmers' movement and a greater resolve to further the cause of both of our movements that I send my message to them.We share common enemies. They are many, and some are well-concealed. Their motives are among the most evil and sinister imaginable. Not only do they not give a tinker's damn about hemp, they think nothing of letting thousands of sick and dying people linger in pain and misery, or of incarcerating 700,000 people a year, mostly for simple possession, while these same people lie, cheat and steal to maintain propaganda and profits of prohibition. They care nothing about environmental benefits or groundwater pollution or THC content, much less suffering and death. The alternative to prohibition, which is legalization, will not be as profitable for them as the present corruption, bribery and forfeiture policies are. And that includes hemp, like it or not.Our causes have more in common than meets the eye. We share more similarities than differences. We share common enemies. Sensible alternatives are not an option to them.Myron von HollingsworthAugust 5, 1999Founder, The Body Shop
