The goverrnemnt is discriminatory against many groups---hookers, gangbangers, terrorists, drug dealers/consumers, white collar criminals, etc....yes, the governemnt discriminates against criminals. Why would we expect otherwise? Until marijauna is legalized, anyone who uses it is a criminal. I'm not saying thats RIGHT, but only a fool would expect equal treatment as a non-criminal under the law
Actually, what I was referring to minorites meaning race, religion, sexual orientaton, "racial orientation" (a term i made up for people who like to consider themselves a race they arent lol), OR people who choose a Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation!

But what i was really trying to say is that it gives me the creeps to see the government treating prejudice towards the cannabis community as a good thing, meaning it endorses the persecution of stoners

and...I was just saying its only natural for the governemnt to be biased against a group who participates in illegal activity routinely. Theres absolutely no way the governement's perception of postsmokers will change until we have enough influence to change the laws. I can't see how anyone thinks its odd the governement iis prejudiced against people who disregard their laws, or in many of our cases, law.

The difference between being Hispanic and a marijuana user? One CHOOSES to smoke weed. You can't choose your race or skin color.
