    Moving On

    Thank you to everyone who took part in the confidence vote, whichever way you voted.   It is right that the membership has had its say after all the turmoil we have been through.

    Thank you for your vote of confidence.  I will not let you down.  I will continue to fight every day to end the prohibition of cannabis, most urgently for those who need it as medicine.  I will do everything within my power to advance our cause.

    Thank you also to Janice Wells, our party treasurer and secretary who took on the task of administering, triple checking and counting the votes.  She has done sterling work with great integrity and with the members’ interests paramount.

    Now we move on.  We leave behind the haters and hypocrites, the moaners and complainers, those who only appear to bicker and argue and are never there when work needs to be done.  They are not welcome in CLEAR.

    We will continue to have a zero tolerance policy about bickering and trolling, both on the Facebook page and the website.  Their purpose is to advance the campaign, nothing else.  Members can raise any issue they want to in the forum and administrative issues should be dealt with by email or Facebook message.  We will not see our online presence abused by those who wish to interfere with or subvert our work.

    As spring arrives the Cannabis Truth roadshow is making plans.  We will be taking the truth about cannabis to the streets of Britain.  We have plans for new literature and new campaigns.  We still don’t know how the HASC drugs inquiry will unfold.  The Comment Warriors campaign continues to do good work every day.

    CLEAR is making a difference as no other cannabis campaign ever has.  We welcome all who want to join with us.  We are the responsible, professional, effective voice for cannabis in Britain, now stronger than ever.

       i am a member of clear i am also a member of the so called cannabis community clear represent my views on cannabis in the most logical and intelligent way, not so for all so called campaigners, clear do not represent any other of my politics and have never tried to do so. truth is we do not need to convince the cannabis community of anything it is the non cannabis community that needs the education if you want to support a real chance of cannabis law reform then educate yourself and spread the word. when we win reform then clear will disappear into history along with prohibition . the vote is in some will never be happy at the fact they lost the argument others who are more mature will recognize that this is the way real change will be brought about. and get behind clear and focus on cannabis law reform and leave the bad vibes outside

      I suspect some of the missed emails were genuine (e.g. old addresses), some were spam filtered and some maybe fictitious who knows who to believe. If I had to believe someone it would be by default CLEAR and not these anti-Peter people who resort to dirty nasty tricks (who we would normally avoid, no?).

      I agree with the strictness of deleting of some comments recently but only on the grounds that the recent obnoxious behaviour has called for it, and any other website on the Internet regardless of subject would do the same. Many require moderation before posting – how do you all know what is being deleted there? If and when it all quietens down then I’m sure the comment police will be more lenient.

      Stop being sheep. Participate, be quiet or sod off. One cause. One love. Peace.

      And your point is….?

      Peter Reynolds is human…

      Janice Wells is human…

      The world could do with less idiots like you! The greatest lessons learnt in life are through mistakes! Just because someones made bad judgements in life doesn’t mean they should be shunned and excluded from society for the rest of their lifes…. facist agenda RichieToker? Its not a liberal view on life you have for sure….

      You have completely contridicted yourself…. so very undemocratic of you! Shame on you!!!

      I have a colourful past from my youth and younger unwiser years! But because of democracy and a fair society and HARD WORK I run a Charity and own two extremely successful businesses…. I am sure thats more than you could ever have/be – living in your negative bubble.

      As for the £13,000.00 you mention, should there be an truth in this ‘fund’ existing; as a Politcal Party and Charity CLEAR has a responsibility to publish their accounts… so I am sure this is fabricated nonsense…. otherwise we will all soon now about it anyway!

      ** WISE WORD TO TROLLS AND NONBELIEVERS BEING NEGATIVE ON CLEAR – ‘HIT THE ROAD JACK’ AND GO MAKE YOUR OWN POLITICAL PARTY/ ACTIVIST WEBSITE…. STOP BEING NEGATIVE BULLSHITTERS ON HERE – THE PROHIBTIONIST MUST BE RUBBING THERE HANDS IN GLEE AT YOUR STUIBIDITY**

      Yea its true if you don’t like what CLEAR represents then leave instead of constantly bitching about Peter. Reminds me of the person who is disgusted by Cannabis yet they don’t toke nor intend to, but that doesn’t stop them chatting utter nonsense about it.
      Basically If you don’t toke weed then leave the coffee shop and if you get offended by South Park then turn the TV off. Simple.

      Well I am happy that this campaign has been saved, cannot imagine clear in anybody else’s hands, Peter, Derek, Jan, Dan, Mark et al are first class people and their dedication to this issue is second to none.   BRAVO.

      Lets all start a fresh and get Winston out of jail – Peter, you know a lot more influential people than i do – Can we get this higher on the agenda? I am a medical user and i dont want to go to jail! This should be our number 1 Goal – Medical use

      Why not add a section on the hate campaign against Clear here on this website.

      It is quite obvious that the multiple websites that all spout the same distorted dissinformation are the work of only a handful of people that are jealous of Clears’ success.

      Illustrate how what you have said has been manipulated.

      I mean for god sake, how can they suggest your comments that everyone has a right to free speech including a party as abhorrent as the BNP, and that facist mob rule is unacceptable is an endorsement for Nick Griffin !

      Sarah and her ilk are the real facists.

      You need to show the world at large just how shallow this hate campaign is, and only hope that the internet does it’s job and warns others what patheic twisted creatures these people are.

        I joined because I could see the jealousy, see the hate and saw the
      depths of so called activists went to.  For me their negative
      destructive petty “he said she said, he is this he is that cus he said
      she said” backfired, and it is easy to see why, clear has the best
      policies is doing what no other group has done before by organising a
      room in the very seat of our so called democracy to launch clear’s
      regulation and taxation proposals, add that to all the other
      innitiatives it very easy to see how the green eyed monster reared its
      head and dented more than just a few egos.

      I am very glad I found clear, and if it wasn’t for the disgusting
      campaign to destroy clear I would not have joined, I am sad some have
      left but if they cannot stand the heat then maybe they are best off out
      of it.

      If anything I have lots more faith in clear, its leader has balls of
      steel and bravo for getting through such a vile and personal attack, the
      movement needs more movers and shakers not jealous types and
      egotistical people with their own agenda.

      Medicinal Cannabis is an urgency, state by state it is being legalised
      in the USA, the UK is looking like the Witchfinder General in its
      indefensible persecution of MMJ users.

      I think the worst thing is the movement in its entirety has become a laughing stock for the prohibitionists, simply because the anti prohibitionists have broken up and lost focus.
      Some of the anti prohibitionists have become anti Peter Reynolds instead and to me thats quite sad. We should unite as ONE, not a fragmented group of campaigners and activists. This must be making who ever keeps Cannabis prohibited very happy as all this is doing is slowing the fight down, or even worse now we are fighting each other, metaphorically speaking. If we are to win this battle it must be done in a focused way with information from scientists about the truth of Cannabis, and anecdotal evidence from people who use it medicinally. Who cares who brings us into true freedom? Because when we are all free all this nonsense will be but a faded memory.
