My tiny house is surrounded by frantic construction building a useless "roundabout", while the rest of town is forced to halt all non-essential activity and shelter in place. I can barely leave here, with threats of fines or prison time if I don't socially isolate enough, but the noise and vibration is so bad in my house, I can't hear myself think! My disabled wife and 6 month old baby's health are deteriorating!

As a videographer whose subject and message is often shunned, silenced, illegalized, and censored, I am VERY thankful for LBRY's stance of not prohibiting cannabis content! Some of what I do comes under civil disobedience - the peaceful and public breaking of unjust laws. Civil disobedience is frowned upon by the system and rulemakers, but when done correctly, it is one of our greatest tools against tyranny. It is our DUTY (not just our right) as free people, and I will always exercise that right. Cannabis prohibition laws are unjust, and by publicly and peacefully breaking them I'm advancing Liberty in my own life, and advocating for others to do the same. My cause is that of Liberty, health, and peace for all. Cannabis is a safe medicinal plant that has never been a threat to our bodies or society, but it's definitely a threat to big pharma, the big banks, big agriculture, the military industrial complex, hundreds of prominent corrupt politicians through history, and many others who oppose free people and free markets. Prohibition was never the way to deal with any perceived harms from cannabis (which were all manufactured by the media and government of the time). We should have decriminalized - done away with prohibition - but instead here in Canada we "legalized" it... which means kicked the free market out, and installed a corporate monopoly, backed by government violence and 14 year prison terms! My message is that legalization is a lie. Cannabis doesn't need to be controlled and is not a threat to our health. Cannabinoids CURE many types of cancer, and my wife @MediKatie is living proof of that. Then can also help people avoid dangerous drugs like SSRIs, benzodiazepines, and opiates, and I'm living proof of that! You can find videos and links to everything I've mentioned here on my channel - with plenty more to come! Thank you, LBRY! DRutter aka civilly-disobedient content-creator
