To a good home....
This article certainly highlights the trend towards medical fascism in our society.
We can't have people making their own decisions about which medicines they take can we? Oh no, that's just unacceptable!

BREAKING: Uruguay legalizes the sale and production of marijuana
“This is an attempt to bring an end to the illegal drugs trade by identifying the market and bringing it into the light of day,” said President Mujica in a statement. Mujica added that the law does not promote the consumption of the drug; it merely identifies the consumer so that authorities may “intervene if [the consumer] overdoes it.”
Uruguay has become the first country in the world to legalize both the sale and production of marijuana.
Under the new legislation, the price of marijuana will be set at one dollar per gram, aiming to undercut the current price of $1.40 on the illegal market. The sale and production of the drug will be regulated by a specially-set-up government body which will administer a database of adult citizens registered to consume marijuana.

"Now
we have a frack site across the street from our dorms and the drill
extends underneath half of the campus. Our campus looks pathetic with a
fracking site situated 100 feet away from the university’s three wind
turbines and platinum LEED certified football stadium, surrounded by
signs saying, ‘We mean green!’ ” ~ Rebekah Hinojosa, University of
North Texas student

"How can it be that even when presented with undeniable documentation of the extent of pollution, those with authority to hold industry to higher standards of safety and truthfulness and responsible cleanup, do not hold them to it?
When honest people say to people doing them wrong, "We see what you're doing and you must stop", and those people do not stop, what next? When truth is no threat to the liar, what next?
For over three years, On Wings Of Care. ORG has flown the Gulf and reported honestly on what we have seen. Did it bring about good? Did it help fix any of what was wrong? Or does the giant laugh at the little ants struggling to point out the damage the giant is doing?" ~ Bonny Schumaker

"When federal and state agencies refused to protect our health and environment from toxic industrial pollution and harmful dioxin exposures we realized that our government was turning its back on all communities struggling for environmental justice. We decided to find justice at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. For the first time, our government will be judged on whether its environmental laws and regulations allow the violation of basic human rights. We are working for a victory that leads to a new way for setting environmental standards that prevent injustice and protect our human rights." ~ Dorothy Felix, President of Mossville Environmental Action Now

"Best tourism season in years! Come on down!" "Their objective is to study the current movement, because during the spill I think the viewers may recall that it was uncertain where the oil was going to go,” said Chuck Wilson, Chief Scientific Officer of the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative. Is it going to hit the Florida panhandle? Was it going to go to Tampa, and perhaps down into Key West and up into the east coast--that was a serious concern."
"And
all of these projects, whether it's the big coal handling terminal,
Blue Creek, or the pipeline coming in from Plains South, all these
things they come in little by little but there's very little if any
regulation on these. And we're in a zone that's dangerous for
hurricanes," ~ Janet Habib, Mobile resident

living along the length of the southern half will have no clue about
the rest of the start-up process, as TransCanada says it won't provide
any more information until the line is already running. "For commercial
and contractual reasons, the next update we will provide will be after
the line has gone into commercial service," the company announced.

"It
seems to me that every jot of this pollution is the result of an act by
some person or persons in one of these industrial plants – either an
act that failed to be taken, or an act that was consciously taken. These
moments in the past poison the present and the future. 'Why should I
forgive you after all that I’ve seen?" ~ James Marriott, Platform - activism, education and the arts
