    9th June, Parliament Square. Will You Be There?

    Charles Walker

    On 9th June 2011, Charles Walker, the Tory MP for Broxbourne has an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on “Cannabis and psychosis in young people”.  See here for details.

    Adjournment debates on Thursdays are chosen by the Speaker.  They last for half and hour and the MP who tabled the debate gets to open it and a minister replies. I don’t know whether this will be a Home Office or Health minister

    Charles Walker has quite a record of asking questions on this subject and I’ve tried to correspond with him but he just dismissed me by saying “I don’t agree with legalising cannabis”.  I’ve sent him quite detailed emails but he just ignores me.

    I’ve been looking for a chance to distribute the medicinal cannabis leaflet in Parliament Square, so this is it.  I will be in Parliament Square and Whitehall from lunchtime on Thursday handing out leaflets.  I’d be very grateful for any help.  As an inducement, I can offer as much tea, coffee or soft drinks as you can manage or even lunch if we meet at say midday by the Richard the Lion Heart statue.

      I wish you  well with this effort.
      The cost of a return journey from Scotland prevents me from going, but I would love to watch it if possible???
      I would encourage all to watch any parliamentary footage involving drugs: it is so not a level playing field…… stage managed does not begin to describe the heavy handed inept way these things go…….. has to be seen to be believed, and, wait a wee while, and the tossers who support the status quo, thus preventing the evidence base influencing policy, get promoted….. amazing.

      The bloke is a cock, they should make cannabis legal and let people do what they want. What right do the government have to take something natural away from us, it’s our bodies and we can do what we please. fuck them all!!!
