ヘンプと自由

Lumping recreation and religion in a museum room is arbitrary, but in many ways this might be called the freedom room. The reason we have a hemp museum separate from the rest of natural history is that hemp is prohibited, illegal, and maligned as few natural living things have been in history. I have been branded a criminal for doing what is my inalienable right to pursue, my inalienable right to happiness.

George Washington had the right to both smoke and grow hemp. Now ask yourself where that right went.

It seems that there was a law passed in our land which our government had no right to pass. To usurp our right to agriculture, the right to smoke and grow hemp, the United States Government passed the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. It was and is unconstitutional by U.S. v. Leary, in 1969, but would not stand any judicial scrutiny today, as The Marijuana Tax Act is full of lies, misinformation, deception, and a total disregard for the law. The law that was violated was the U.S.Constitution. From U.S. v. Butler, 1936, this part bears repeating here. This is the Supreme Court of the U.S. speaking:

"...another principle embedded in our Constitution prohibits the enforcement of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The act invades the reserved rights of the states. It is a statutory plan to regulate and control agricultural production, a matter beyond the powers delegated to the federal government. The tax, the appropriation of the funds raised, and the direction for their disbursement, are but parts of the plan. They are but means to an unconstitutional end.

From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from as such are conferred, are reserved to the states or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition,otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden.

It is an established principle that the attainment of a prohibited end may not be accomplished under the pretext of the exertion of powers which are granted...

The power of taxation, which is expressly granted, may, of course, be adopted as a means to carry into operation another power also expressly granted. But resort to the taxing power to effectuate an end which is not legitimate, not within the scope of the Constitution, is obviously inadmissible." (Emphasis the Curator's).
