Best price I ever got was $4200 USD per pound of primo BC organic TimeWarp. Fed the kids, paid the bills. No glamor, just a good job with good people.

And mine actually was organic. Chicken poo FTW.

I really have no problem with organized crime. I do have a problem when I see people taking other people into slavery.. Or providing them with fake goods for a fucking profit.

I hate to say it because I know a good amount will disagree. But I see no difference between a person pushing Homeopathy medication. And a person replacing cocaine with baking soda and trying to sale it. In the end its swindlers trying to make money off the ignorant.

As for the *crime* element. As far as I can tell the only reason it`s a crime is because.. Basically a group of people are saying to the rest of the people that they cant do something. I could care less about the person trying to sale weed or any other drug to make some money. I do care about people taking advantage of other people. whether it`s through ignorance or brute force. That is the true crime.

I totally agree with you about homeopathy, that`s why I think we should outlaw it just like fake cocain. The implication of course is that you INlaw normal cocain, prostitution, banking. Why are we constantly at war? why does terrorism exist? How does trillions of monies disapear? It`s all organised crime. The great crime families of old were a kind of community enforcement program, policing what the police would not police. There was romance, even honour among theives. Consumerism has fixed that, where is the honour in a society that would eat the very ground from under it`s feet?

One problem with this guy is he tells us all the problems, but does not suggest any solutions.

His point about all the other `Madoffs` out there suggests regulating banks, it that`s possible. He also pointed out that we need to change our laws regarding narcotics. let`s start with legalization and then see where we are. I`m tired of wasting money on this war on drugs.

The real problem human nature. It`s like telling a kid to not eat a bowl of icecream that`s on the table and then leave the room.

Deregulation, deregulation, deregulation. The problem is there are people who seem to think by signing a piece of paper into law, they could control the population for the good of society. Well the ever growing black market disagrees. Legalize prostitution, all drugs, abolish all tariff.
