Legalize it, and I will Advertise it - Peter Tosh
the problem with america’s economic bailout is that it’s not focused in the right areas of disposable income.
why do we say this..
Just take a look around you. Have the taxes on Cigarettes and Cigars increased; how about the tax on Alcohol ? not in this state just yet. these so called sin taxes when imposed helped to do a few things.
- raise revenue
- raise awareness
- cause changes in social patterns
the bottom line is this, if America wants to follow the real line of green commerce, it’s going to have to relax rules on certain crops and gain an advantage by doing it. simply because Americans will revolt if they can’t get their beer and smokes, plainly put.
Americans will also revolt if the government doesn’t come up with a less cash intensive way to create a boatload of cash, within the next year. theres’ no other way to look at it. we have to use the green to get the green. Hemp can be started today by the large tobacco growers, and as well the corrections farm systems.
that initial crop would help to start the re-greening of americas’ industry and economy.
Hemp was the original crop that produced the wealth of the young America. so much so, the British commonwealth demanded a supply be sent monthly as a tax payment. the crop grows wild, and requires no management by chemicals or soil enrichment. it will grow in the desert as well as the swamp.
This is what America needs.. a Green Rebirth
We as Rastafarian’s support the legalization of Marijuana for Spiritual and Medicinal uses. we do not support the legalization of Drugs of any form. Cocaine and Heroin are Drugs because they are Processed to become Usable as Drugs. Marijuana grows from the soil, drys and does not require processing to make it usable. as such it IS NOT A DRUG.
no doubt many of you want to leave comments trying to convince us otherwise, but listen to this - if God / JAH made it, then I support it.
As Our Spiritual Bredren Peter Tosh Says,
