Tulsi Gabbard Wants to Legalize Marijuana, Punish Big Pharma and End Private Prisons

02/20/2019 By Stillness in the Storm 4 Comments

(Elias Marat) Tulsi Gabbard, Hawaii’s democratic congresswoman and one of many entrants in the crowded 2020 presidential race, is already turning heads thanks to her anti-interventionist foreign policy approach and progressive stance on a variety of issues, making her an outlier among establishment Democrats.

If her pre-campaign messaging and campaign launch speech are any indicator, the potential presidential contender has no intention of backing down – especially when it comes to her strong advocacy of medical marijuana and harsh criticisms of the criminal justice system and pharmaceutical industry.

Declaring her formal entrance into the Democratic Party presidential primaries, Gabbard issued a rousing call to end the for-profit prison industry, which has seen private corrections corporations rake in profits while shirking prisoners’ and immigrant detainees’ food, health care, and other essential services while exploiting incarcerated people as essentially slave labor.

“We must stand up against private prisons, who are profiting off the backs of those caught up in a broken criminal justice system,” Gabbard said.

Continuing, she added that “a system that puts people in prison for smoking marijuana while allowing corporations like Purdue Pharma, who are responsible for the opioid-related deaths of thousands of people, to walk away scot-free with their coffers full.”

We must stand up against private prisons, who are profiting off the backs of those caught up in a broken criminal justice system. This system which favors the rich and powerful and punishes the poor CANNOT stand. https://t.co/tw2NJx3FbQ #TULSI2020 pic.twitter.com/ux2xm3Vblk

— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) February 8, 2019

Purdue Pharma, the company responsible for making the OxyContin narcotic pill, was recently exposed in court filings by the Massachusetts attorney general to have deliberately conspired to mislead doctors and patients about the dangerous and addictive nature of the opioid in hopes of maximizing company profits.

Gabbard added:

“This so-called criminal justice system, which favors the rich and powerful and punishes the poor, cannot stand.”

Gabbard, an Iraq war veteran and member of Congress since 2013 who previously served as a state legislator in Hawaii and city councilmember in Honolulu, has long been a supporter of progressive cannabis laws and opponent of federal prohibition laws.

Last year, pro-legalization political advocacy committee National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML PAC) hailed Gabbard as a leader in the fight for criminal justice reform and the decriminalization of marijuana on a federal level.

In their endorsement of the congresswoman from Hawaii, the group laid out her extensive work demanding sensible cannabis policies:

“She is the lead Democratic sponsor of the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act, which would take marijuana off the federal controlled substances list. She introduced the Marijuana Data Collection Act, which lays the groundwork for real reform by producing an objective, evidence-based report on current state marijuana laws. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has called for closing the gaps between federal and state law to resolve current contradictions and provide legally abiding marijuana businesses with clear access to financial services. She also co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act to reform unjust federal marijuana laws and empower minority communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the failed War on Drugs, the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act to allow equal banking access and financial services for marijuana-related businesses, and the RESPECT Resolution to encourage equity in the marijuana industry.”

Gabbard has also drawn a sharp nexus between the demands of Big Pharma lobbyists and continued prohibition laws. Last year, she shredded then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for rescinding the Obama-era Department of Justice memo, or Cole Memorandum, that instructed federal prosecutors to not enforce federal prohibition laws in states that legalized marijuana, characterizing the move as one which would “exacerbate an inhumane, ineffective system that tears families apart.”

“Sessions’ actions to protect the bottom lines of the for-profit private prison industry, and Big Pharma whose opioids and drugs flourish in part due to the marijuana prohibition, while trampling on states’ rights and turning everyday Americans into criminals is an injustice,” she wrote on Twitter.

I’ve met with parents of children with epilepsy, cancer, and other serious and chronic conditions, who are fighting for greater research and legal use of medical marijuana, and who have rallied behind my bill H.R. 1227, the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act.

— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) January 4, 2018

And in a 2017 statement calling for an end to federal prohibition, Gabbard demanded that the government “work for people like veterans and healthcare advocates instead of pharmaceutical lobbyists who will continue to push dangerous and addictive painkillers even amidst an opioid epidemic.”

Gabbard isn’t the only contender to call out the pharmaceutical industry’s role in stalling marijuana legalization and criminal justice reform.

Recent entrant and New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillebrand has also blasted Big Pharma, noting:

“To them, it’s competition for chronic pain, and that’s outrageous because we don’t have the crisis in people who take marijuana for chronic pain having overdose issues … It’s not the same thing. It’s not as highly addictive as opioids are.”

Legalizing adult use of marijuana is common sense and long overdue. We need to remove marijuana from the list of…

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

Political candidates have begun campaigning on populist issues, attempting to gain positions of power through appealing to the people. Whether or not these populist candidates actually have the people’s best interest at heart is unclear. It is also unclear whether or not such candidates possess the wisdom to effectively deal with the Deep State. Despite these concerns, the preceding article discusses one such candidate that offers a ray of hope. This information is important because such candidates captivate the people, drawing out the values that individuals are willing to rally together for, which is the lifeblood of all socio political activity. Thus, by knowing what people care about, we can better negotiate unity and campaign for lasting changes that truly make our world a better place.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.

    Steven Crowder i think it was, had a video on Late-Term Abortion,
    and at the end of that video he (but forgive me, if it wasn’t him, i’m bad in remembering names) showed that Tulsi accepts this horrible practise too.
    She ain’t all sunshine and rainbows..
    This was in Steven’s new Abortion YouTube Vid.

    Ok asshole. Listen up and listen up good. YOU need to read a little Kant, and understand the difference between Hypothetical Imperatives and Categorical Imperatives.

    Gabbard WANTS to do all this stuff to get elected. Her behaviour says something quite different. Trudeau WANTED to do all sorts of nice stuff for Canada before he got in. Gabbard’s beliefs are idiotic when you coincide them with a lack of a depth of reserach. She wants to deny the military industrial complex power, but still parrots the belief that 19 Ragheaded bastards took out the twin towers, in the time when the US military was on FULL ALERT, and completely ignores the debris evidence, the vitrified rock, the tower core VANISHING LIKE DUST IN THE WIND…

    All of her ‘buzz-phrases’ smack of a con-woman who is eager to ride the “Wave of the Woke” that personifies Maxine Waters. She is the new model poverty pimp, has no interest in actually progressing science and wants to continue the destructive and ethic-less system the NWO sychophants are trying to create. Kamala Harriss will be their pick anyway, Gabbard doesn’t stand a chance. Stop pushing idealistic bullshit without identifying where she is hypocritical and lacks facts.

    Don’t let her use you, like Clinton wanted to use us all for UFO Disclosure.

    The issues she endorses are just the tip of the iceberg. Where does she stand on the major issue of our time: ridding the planet of pedophilia. The fact she doesn’t speak out on this topic says a lot. I’m an ex-50 year democrat, but she will not get my vote until she addresses this issue.
