It was just released that the NSA is giving phone records to the DEA. Now you're thinking, "Well, I don't deal drugs, who gives a shit?" Yes and no.

As more info is leaked to reporters, (who report on this - don't count on politicians - they're not concerned as it doesn't effect them) we see that if you texted or called your buddy for some weed, this is collected. It is collected and sent to the DEA. No warrant. No probable cause.

We're in a digital age where crime prevention is becoming more efficient. This will have positive and negative effects as well. The problem is the American government is not being transparent, nor clear, about what exactly it's intentions are. The NSA was a direct government response to 911. Now it is being used to police pot-heads....think about that.

I'm a crazy fuck from Montana. And I approve this message
