Freedom loving Ronnie escalated the War on Drugs using the death of Len Bias, the University of Maryland superstar, as a launch pad. People to this day believe that Len Bias died of cocaine, which is not true at all. He did use cocaine the day before his death, but if a cocaine overdose is going to kill you it will be the hour of ingestion and not the day after. Anyway, the autopsy/coroner did not cite cocaine use as the cause of death.
So, Nancy Reagan had three words that echoed everywhere when the politicos say so- "Just say no." It is the epitamy of thought stopping phrases. No matter how you look at, the problems of human addiction extend to everyone just because we are all linked as human and the human body is subject to addiction, be it sex, gambling, television, food, sugar, prescription drugs, or the demon drugs that get you thrown in jail, fired from your job, get your kids taken away along with your driver's license, and keep you from going to Canada and so on.
"Just say no"- what a sad joke. All in one statement we are to overlook tobacco that kills 5 million people world wide and 442,000 in this country and alcohol that was harmful enough to society to amend the Constitution. Then they give the woman the highest award possible, The Medal of Freedom, when really what she was doing was asking everyone to attack the principles of freedom. Lock'em up an throw away the key. Be tough on crime using our definition and outlook, but ignore addiction as the broad problem.
They give her a Freedom of Medal award for stopping thought, highjacking the country in the wrong direction, and making us all look like fools for following their freedom-robbing and corrupting ways. And again, America was launched on war (as the War on Freedom by using the drugs we say so as an excuse) by a lie, that the great Len Bias died of cocaine, and the lie and the War on Freedom it inspired continue to this day.
Just say know. Free Cannabis For Everyone.
