The US Government, "Mother of all Religious Prohibition" where it concerns the worship rights of people whose spiritual life includes the sacramental use of Cannabis, Peyote, Ayahuasca, Psilocybe and other Mushrooms, the Lysergics, and all other Entheogen plants and chemicals, has had the audacity to include the Republic of Vietnam on a blacklist of countries which supposedly do not allow enough spiritual freedom.

Within the US there are more than two million people in prison, and altogether, around seven million people held within the combined "correctional" institutions and bureaucracies under custody, supervision, home arrest, parole, etc. The largest percentage of these people are targeted for illegal substance- related cases, and the vast majority of them are caught in the system for marijuana- related "crimes".

The entire network of friends of Cannabis within the US is forced underground. According to the US Government itself, the National Institute of Health, there are about 100 million users within the US - all underground, hounded, hidden. One hundred million.

The same policy - systematic Religious Prohibition - is extended by the US abroad, exported to the whole planet.

The US Government has instituted regimes of religious intolerance all over the world, which it maintains in power with a mixture of lies, lethal force, interventions in electoral occasions and by other political machinations, in order to serve as extensions of itself, as local variants of the global US Imperial command structure.


**** It's about drugs evidently. The ones the pharmcos can't control. We need reasonable decriminalization. And stop haunting the planet with narrow minded, robber barron mentality.
Stop the Madness. Just say "nope".
