Would you be prepared to sue your government for discrimination?

The drug law is nonsense, it creates criminals, crates crime, cuts off a huge slice of our societies. Drugs themselves are more dangerous as there is no quality control, there are no dosage instructions or usage instructions and there are no age limits.
Using drugs is no different to drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, racing cars or using sunbeds.
Fat people are not criminals, smokers are not criminals, prostitutes are not criminals, drinkers are not criminals, gamblers are not criminals. Why am I, why are you?
If all drug users united into one voice, then mass sued the government (in the millions) for discrimination, defamation of character and violation of Liberty rights, it would soon make them think.

how do i go about doing this?
i know it's a pretty general question, but saying "would you sue the government for discrimination" is a pretty general answer
please let me know who will be suing them, and how I can support them, it might be a fairly lost cause, but if there is any way i can show support for such a lawsuit, i will be interested in knowing how

I am a drug user. I'm no different to someone who drinks or smokes. I risk my life taking mdma, the same as someone who performs stunts. I do not steal, I do not play loud music, I do not cause trouble. Why am I labelled a criminal?
We can all fully understand the police kicking down your door and raiding your house for stolen property. However, you could brew your own beer/wine at home with NO questions, even if you are an alcoholic. Yet as a responsible drug user the police can break into my home, steal my drugs, then call me a criminal.
If I drink alcohol I become violent, I cannot stop the way it effects me. I am not a criminal drinking alcohol until I commit a crime. If I use other recreational drugs, which I react perfectly well to, do not abuse, I am immediately a criminal.
The government constantly shower us with blame, "you fund crime" when that is NOT our choice, the only people who can change this is the government. Believe me if I could grow my own smoke and shrooms, I would and I would not be funding crime. In fact, I'll grow it, only sell it to friends over 21, I'll even pay my taxes on it, on top of that I'll give 10% of the annual profits to charity, NO, it's illegal.
If a brewery sent out contaminated, watered down beer, it would face legal action for failing to meet standards. When a drug dealer cuts his drugs for profit who's to stop him? Why should my life be put in even more harm just because the government disagree with my choice.
I would love to arrange a mass suing, There are SO many things you can do to yourself, all without punishment or question. The aim of the suing is not to win, merely to make a HUGE statement. I need to do more research before I do anything, the plan is to get a proper website set up, then get the wheels in motion, the more people who would join (worldwide) the better.
The drug law is a violation of the human rights act, and so far I find it violates section 1 articles 5, 8, 9, & 10, Protocol articles 1 & 2. I would especially like people to join who have lost their jobs ONLY because of they use drugs. People are NOT sacked just because they drink, nor are they breathalysed every morning. Peoples work is not judged by what they drink, so to judge someone by what drugs they use, if it does not effect their job or person, is (in my opinion) wrong on every level.
Just because you use drugs YOU are not only labelled a criminal, you are a bad person, you are not part of society, you are just a druggie. Your good name is tarnished by this law, your family life and security are disrupted by the law.

i'm pretty sure prostitution can be illegal, and so can gambling. and i highly doubt any civil lawyer would take the the lawsuit anyways.

I did not realize that we Americans are under attack by our own government. They are murdering innocent Americans, destroying lives and families, making ordinary citizens into criminals, Felons!! Our Prisons are being filled and states are going bankrupt.Our country is being torn apart, destroyed, taken over from within. These terrorist are Americans being paid by our tax money. These terrorist can arrest you, take your land, houses, vehicles and all your belongings, if you rent they have you evicted!!You don't even have to be charged with anything! They can arrest anyone they suspect MIGHT commit a crime and call it CONSPIRACY ! Does this sound like AMERICA? Does this sound like THE HOME OF THE FREE ? How can this be going on in America? How can they get away with this? Who are these terrorist? They are our own law enforcement, our DEA agents and all they have to say to the American people and to the people around the world to get away with all of these atrocities is: "THE WAR ON DRUGS" It should be called "THE WAR ON THE PEOPLE" WE should be OUTRAGED by whats going on in our country!!! Everything I mentioned is happening to NON-VIOLENT, RECREATIONAL USERS of pot, mushrooms, meth and coke. Whats going on? IS THIS AMERICA or THE NEW WORLD ORDER????

Exactly how I feel mate. Too many people happy with the way things are, burying their heads in the sand, while innocent people (including non-drug users, who get caught up in the mess) are getting fucked over on a huge scale.

You missed the point, gambling and prostitution were both illegal at the same time the drug laws were introduced. Since then the laws were changed to protect people, to stop these people associating and contributing towards crime, to define the difference between committing a crime, and playing a game of cards with bets, or the difference between committing a crime or getting your balls licked by some dirty whore. Its wrong, but its not a crime.
If a lawyer is prepared to defend a murderer, rapist, paedophile, why would no one represent a massive group of harmless drug users? There are many drug user lawyers worldwide, that I'm sure feel as unjustly persecuted as the rest of us.
Someone's got to start the ball rolling, If thats me, so be it.

Get it started and I'll be more than glad to throw my name in the hat for the lawsuit.
