A person convicted for possession of marijuana can be sentenced up to 30 years in jail. The real danger to society as well as the thousands of individuals comes from the law that is so seriously out of touch with reality. The law contains an even greater evil.

00:00:18.940 - 00:00:40.130

It encourages the most outrageously discriminatory type of law enforcement. If the lawyers, doctors, advertising men, teachers, and political officeholders who use marijuana for arrested today, the law might well be off the books before thanksgiving, but the police in making arrests prefer to concentrate on individuals who

00:00:40.130 - 00:00:58.580

00:01:52.940 - 00:02:06.460

people who are exploring new ways of living freely. The largest society has classified and categorized them into a myth of the hippie, the long haired dropout who performs his exotic writes for the convenience of visiting cameraman.
