An Essay About Mass Fear
By The Nimbin BullDozer
It is a statistical fact that 1/3 of all adult
Australians at one time or another of their life have taken
the step of consciously choosing to defy the law, and tried
smoking “pot”.
That is over 5 million people in rough terms,
but probably more.
The Hunter Research Institute tells us by survey
analysis, that 750 thousand (750 000) Australians currently
smoke “pot” at least once a week!
That’s a lot of people that have also chosen
to take their chances and risk the purportedly serious physical
and mental health ramifications, to satisfy curiosity.
So serious is the purported problem, that every
citizen is totally banned from even possessing it. Yet having
smoked it, life seems to carry on for those millions, regardless…..Hmmmmm.
Basically, as everyone really knows the only thing
drastically wrong with it is that it is “illegal”.
If you get busted, you have to pretend remorse and suffer sham
social shame, promising not to do it again, in order to lessen
the negative impact on you and your families lives.
This scenario, to which stupendous numbers have
been subjected over the decades, is not the legitimate function
of law in a free society.
This is called INTIMIDATION and SUBJUGATION.
Whether politician or pauper, Magistrate or mugger
(yes, the Bulldozer is aware of two Magistrates that smoke “pot”),
all are subject to this outdated and ossified legal oppression.
Politicians that have smoked pot, when confronted
by journalists with pointed questions about this, immediately
find themselves in a quandary.
If they don’t admit it, someone might come out of the
woodworks and start a very public bum- fight, thus endangering
the public position. If the do admit it, then they still have
to run a gauntlet. What to do, and often a split- second decision
is required?
The softest option then is to admit, in as credible
manner possible. And so it sounds quite that, Malcolm Turnball
only smoked it as a foible of “use”, Julie Gillard
“didn’t like”, or Nathan Reeas” only
that many times” (holding up one hand, indicating a number
of digits’, and hope like hell that journalist interests
wanes).
Of course, there is a school of thought out there,
that the smoking of Marijuana distorts one’s mental process,
possibly leaving a life long residual affect.
That is, I believe, the reason why it was made
illegal in the first place.
Does this therefore mean that the admissions to
smoking marijuana by those who now occupy some of the most senior
and responsible positions in hand, now possibly subject the
nation to a residual drug affected decision -making process
by those senior executive, to which we are all dependant for
sound judgement?
Is this not a logical line of thought, if one
were to consider the legal context, and its reasons for establishment?
Should, in fairness to the common man, ewe have
all those in parliamentary positions (law makers) who have admitted
to “smoking pot”(law breakers), removed from office?
If these instances are admitted in public, it
might be that our parliament across the nation may be riddled
with clandestine pot smokers, both dormant and active ( the
iceberg effect).; maybe our forbears were right in banning marijuana
to protest the nations mental health, in those years that ultimately
lead to the “McCarthyism”
Era.
Plan “A”’
In the interested of nation security, I now propose;
That a solemn commission of enquiry be set up to root out those
parliamentary pot- smokers that flout their own laws with impunity.
The best candidate that sprouts to mind at head
of such and enquiry would be none other than the Federal Environment
minister, the honourable Peter Garratt M.P O.A (ex rock band
“Midnight oil” front man).
That way, the common man could be assured that
the governing executive has his best interests at hear when
passing laws of prohibition, to further a victory in “The
War on Drugs”.
Plan “B”
Of course, there is an alternative and preferred
suggestion:-
“Overhaul the drug laws”
“ Legalise bush pot (and hash)”
“Restore out Rights”
