Cannabis and the illusion of democracy in the USA
Return to top.

It takes a two-thirds majority in Congress to override a Presidential veto. The U.S. is unique in this among Western democracies.

Most Americans want cannabis legalized. See the large timeline of polling below. But the USA is a 1% kleptocracy run mostly by corporations (who are now considered persons according to the law): Big Pharma, police unions, private prisons, prison guard unions, alcohol and beer companies. The Prison-Industrial-Complex and the alcohol-drug monopoly. The modern Orwellian mind-constricting security state started by Just-Say-No Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6). And are you still waiting for that Reagan-Revolution wealth to "trickle-down" from the 1%?
 * The Top Five Special Interest Groups Lobbying To Keep Marijuana Illegal | Republic Report. April 20, 2012 article.

The government is literally run by a 40% minority. It is not a majority-rule democracy. It takes 60% of the vote in the Senate to get past a filibuster. It is a self-imposed Senate rule not found in the Constitution that could be overturned at any time if the Republicrats chose to do so. Stopping the presidential dictatorship though would require changing the constitution to eliminate the Presidential veto that requires a two-thirds majority in Congress to override it. The only democracy left is at the state level, and it is in constant conflict with the Feds and U.S attorneys (who are independent players just like Supreme Court justices).

Hard-drug rehab costs money. All Western European countries have some form of universal healthcare. It gets better health statistics and costs less per person. Clueless Libertarians, Republicans, and Teabaggers are against universal healthcare because it is government funded. Even though most of these same Tea Party people would never want their Medicare taken away from them. Their stupid preference for private health insurance costs them far more per person, and so they must be basic-math challenged. So much for American brainpower. Obamacare is a middle ground between single-payer health care and private health insurance. It will not help poor people enough because the coward Democrats are also bought out by the insurance corporations. So tens of thousands of people will continue to die in the USA each year due to lack of money for healthcare.

Yeah, right on, Pat! Those conservative hippies were right after all. And that liberal, big-prison-spender, Nancy Reagan, with her "Just Say No" lock-em-up activism was wrong. And don't forget that liberal, big-prison-spender, Newt Gingrich and his drug war.
