Happy 420… the “LAWFARE” rugby, Miracle or Myth is now available on AdvisoryBoardCrystals.com - Lawfare, in this perspective, is a corrosive and weaponized misuse of the legal system, where an overabundance of complex laws and regulations creates a fertile ground for exploitation by powerful entities, such as governments or interest groups. It is a calculated tactic to target individuals, organizations, or industries for political or ideological purposes, rather than to serve justice. When laws multiply to the point that nearly any action can be deemed illegal, authorities gain the power to selectively enforce them, pursuing cases not for fairness but to suppress adversaries or advance specific agendas. This selective enforcement turns the legal system into an instrument of coercion, undermining the impartiality essential to true justice. - This form of lawfare thrives on bureaucratic overreach, where regulatory bodies wield their authority to stifle innovation or silence dissent, often under the guise of compliance. It erodes public trust in institutions by fostering the perception—and often the reality—of a biased system where legal processes are manipulated to favor those in power. Fairness, both in practice and perception, is critical to a functioning society, and lawfare betrays this principle, transforming the law into a weapon rather than a protector of equity. - In the context of 420, lawfare has been and continues to be a potent tool used to suppress the industry and its advocates. Historically, cannabis has been demonized through legislation despite evidence of its medical benefits and relatively low harm. Even with cannabis legalized in 24 states by 2025, lawfare persists, unfairly targeting individuals who remain incarcerated for offenses now widely decriminalized.
