Kenny: The government raids people growing and selling drugs, and seizes thier assets. Then they say that we are 'losing the war on drugs' and lobbies congress to provide more funds to 'fight' the war. Meanwhile, the shadow government ships in the drugs and puts people in jail for using thier...

I see. I have experienced prejudism in my life, but I can't imagine feeling the way some of you have expressed in other threads. I hate to see a group or community labeled badly for a few people's intolerance. I don't want to personally be associated with prejudism because many hearing people...
