Favorite saying

• ""Well, as I understand it, the main supporters are beer companies and the pharmaceutical companies. I'd like them to show me the dead bodies from marijuana. But they can't because there aren't any." ~ Jack Herer "Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner Harmonica." ~ Abraham Lincoln "If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then The Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on." ~ Terence McKenna "They've outlawed the number one vegetable on the planet." ~ Timothy Leary "Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." ~ George Washington "I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the Government the right to say that God is wrong." ~ Willie Nelson "If the people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." ~ Thomas Jefferson "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." ~ Thomas Jefferson "Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." ~ Thomas Jefferson "Hemp can save the planet." ~ Jack Herer "A Prohibition Law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." ~ Abraham Lincoln "I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during an H-Bomb blast." ~ Ronald Reagan "It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics, dope, and all that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend." ~Louis Armstrong "I never heard of anyone beating on their wife or kids after smoking pot." ~ Bing Crosby ""
