Feds Plan Policy to Restrict Discussion of Illegal Drug Activity Overseas!

Insanity is our most exported commodity- I doubt you'll ever be able to completely escape it

 

"To amend the Controlled Substances Act to clarify that persons who enter into a conspiracy within the United States to possess or traffic illegal controlled substances outside the United States, or engage in conduct within the United States to aid or abet drug trafficking outside the United States, may be criminally prosecuted in the United States, and for other purposes."

 

This is such bullshit, talk about over stepping boundries, trying to enforce laws on our citizens while they are outside the country is so far gone its insane. Dont we already have enough people locked up in our over flowing prison system? For fucks sake

 

So, the deal is currently this:

The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill yesterday that would make it a federal crime for U.S. residents to discuss or plan activities on foreign soil that, if carried out…

They voted and it got out of the committee. Cool.

Wake me up when it passed the full house. Gets passed by the senate. And then gets signed by the president.

Skip.

Let me get this straight.

I can talk all I want to about doing drugs within the boundaries of the U.S.
This is still Okay. Right?

But I would break a Fed Law is I talked about other people in other nations using drugs.

Is this the way that it works???

Answer???
Comments???

:sunny:

 

Thank god I'm not in America! Although the UK's slowly spiralling out of control the more they listen to the bunch of fuckwits that call themselves the EU...

Anyway there's no way it'll get passed. I hope for you guys anyway, haha!

 

I think I'll go to Amsterdam, get married again, and smoke a huge bowl.

Got that, "Uncle Sam"??

 

It's Uncle Sham as far as I'm concerned.

 

This is crap. Even if this passed, theres absolutely no way this could ever hold up in court. How could it ever be proven? How could the charges be brought against someone in the first place? Entrapment, involving a DEA agent disguised as a bridesmaid? Illegal wiretapping on a three way call between a giddy bride and her two best friends, excitedly planning to get fuuuucked up in Amsterdam?

What the fuck, American lawmakers?

Nothing about this bill makes sense.

 

The voices in my head tell me otherwise...

:reddevil:

 

exactly. it doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it. which makes me wonder if it isn't an indirect attempt at something else. since there's no logic to the bill, there's gotta be logic to proposing it.

 

To give conservative and religious Republicans an erection and further the myth that they are 'looking out' for them. That's the Republican form for some time now - pass all the legislation that deregulates, cut taxes for the rich, and then every so often throw a silly, useless bill out there that gets the religious vote. (Why the religious are so against marijuana, I really don't know. I think they vote Republican because of abortion and then just say, "Fuck it, I might as well go all the way.")

 

It could be used as a precedent to give the government broader powers to invade on freedom of speech.

 

Ain't that America, home of the ..., Maybe one day people will wake up, band together, and take our Country back!
In the mean time, you don't have to have a law degree to know this is unconstitutional, but what the hay, there aren't more important issues at hand anyway!!!

 

The sad thing Skip is that the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, it's all washing away. In less than 45 days Congress & Obama sit down presumably with the Governater to recriminalize marijuana for medical purposes, which sadly shouldn't take place according to the Declaration of Independence, for it clearly states, "We the People." That statement so simply illuatrates Once Upon a Time... U.S. citizens were an integral part of the Federal Government: if that were true, we here at Hip Forums, as a collective of, in part, The People, i.e. a part of the Feds (in theory) like we Californians, should make proposals to appeal this Draconian bullshit and be taken seriously.

I do not intend to discontinue chatting about Schedule X, I, II, III, IV drug activity with Mr. Writer, a Canadian, nor with p0ly, a Brittain.

I propose the web's most notorious free speech website team up with the ACLU, avaaz (sp?), Democracy Now, and Fresh Air and perform civil disobedience by "defiantly" fighting back in an era of cowtowers.

P.S. One way to solve this here at HF is switching to darknet tactics; but that seems like a weenie move for a site dedicated to free speech...I sure hope Shroomery, Bluelight, DMT Nexus, and so forth consider it though. But then erowid, sigh. Or SoS or pillreports. These sites discuss facts, not future plans so much. Where does the ball drop on the likes of them for discussions of past in vivo reseaech/usage & sales/distribution?
P.P.S. Who is stealing my thunder with "peace, pot, and microdots"? I don't really care yo, just bustin yer chops, heh. Namaste amigo!

 

if the gets passed then it is really a sad day for freedom of speech and democracy,

 

I HIGHLY doubt that this kind of law will pass. At least i would hope not.... It is a BIG step over the line for the American government///

 

US citizens, in the broadest sense, were never an integral part of the Federal Government. Sure, when colonizing a piece of land, especially without a centralized power structure, the system will of course be inclusive of a wider range of people, thoughts and ideas, but the goal has always been the same, all the way down through the worlds recent history.

The American people have been spoonfed the largest amount of propoganda, with its 'common citizen' still arguing in favour of the most ridiculous absurdity created, the consititution. Not only that, but the mythical idealogies that this country waves as its globalistic, sovereign flag, has spilled over into every corner of the rest of the world.

But its not only America, the majority of civilisations/peoples/power structures the world over are all guilty of the exact same thing.
