When Will Economic Reality Make Cameron Get Real About Cannabis?

    In these dire times of recession, teetering on the edge of depression, every single day our government gifts at least £16 million to organised crime by failing to regulate the cannabis market.  In addition,  it spends £1.4 million every single day on the criminal justice system in a futile attempt to stamp out cannabis.  See here for the very latest independent research on cannabis in Britain.

    We can no longer afford this. Cameron’s policy is based on Daily Mail scare stories which are themselves blatant falsification and distortion of scientific evidence.  It is pathetic, irresponsible and hypocritical from a toff who was suspended from Eton for smoking a bit of weed.  He got away with it and says that “Everyone’s allowed to have a past” but cares not one jot for the lives and careers that are ruined because of his government’s policy of criminalising cannabis users.

    We enjoy using cannabis Mr Cameron, just as, no doubt, you did.  Hundreds of thousands of British people who need cannabis as medicine are stranded in pain, suffering and disability because of your government’s cruelty and denial of science. The law should be about protecting people from harm, not some Big Brother, Soviet-style imposition of behavioural rules.

    The laws that prohibit cannabis are immoral and cruel and we can’t afford this ridiculous waste.

    What are you going to do about it Mr Cameron?

      Something has got to get through to them.Usually if votes don’t work then a huge amount of revenue does.
      The problem is that we still have an army of proho kneejerk reactionaries, who have not only misinformed the masses but also managed to convince themselves of this inaccurate and prejudicial mantra in the process.Happily they are almost extinct. They would argue that they are so morally above the rest of us, that they would not want to be a part of a regulated system that taxes an extremely dangerous and life destroying drug like Cannabis.And they will maintain that mule like stance while some of them are popping a few sedatives and/or antidepressants here and there and washing them down with a nice Gin and Tonic or bottle of Bollinger!
      They fail to see the irony in that, if that’s their poison, they will become extinct much quicker than we Cannabis users will.Like the dinosaurs before them, they will just become an incredulous story to tell our children.Although not as interesting as the dinosaurs.

      “What are you going to do about it Mr Cameron?”.. I imagine, as with everything else that is detrimental to this country he has done, or is doing, tell us it is for our own good and then, from position of wealth and privilege, watch the unfolding melee whilst pondering just how he can use the negative consequences as an excuse to further his devious aims…

      They wont get real about Cannabis, it will take another Government like the USA to change the game before we do.

      Sadly, the only way i can see a go soft on Cannabis reaction – is when full scale rioting takes place on a much larger scale than this past summer due to massive economic collapse coming to a town near you and me pretty soon

      “You have to wonder about a man who surrounds himself with so many
      people who went to the same school. I’m pretty sure I don’t want
      21st-century Britain run by people who went to just one school.”

      Some times actions speak louder than words and it looks like no one is listening. “Ears but dont hear” “Eyes but dont see” ”Brains dont work” not fit to run our world or me! So me, my wife, 6 kids, live our own lives on the green hills of cumbria untill thay smash my door in. I do what I do because of what paedophiles did to me at 4&14 PTSD FIBROMYALGIA, got sativex after holding razor at wrist in psychology but my own is better.Paedophiles gave me a life sentance so what would Cameron say to me ?

      He would say to you that he is very sorry for your terrible story but would insist that Cannabis is 
      “Incredibly damaging, very, very toxic, and leads to, in many cases, huge mental health problems”.
      He doesn’t believe or care what you believe it does for you.That’s the vote seeking, corporation appeasing kind of lowlife he is.He will wag the same finger at you that he rolled and smoked with many years ago and would not lose a wink of sleep about you going to jail for a victimless crime. 
      We users however do believe you and all wish you the best.

      “incredibly damaging,very,very toxic,and leads to,in many cases,huge mental health problems”.That’s not what GW said to my wife Hannah when she asked them if it caused the “brain damage”put out on Radio5!Thanks for your best wishes and the same to you!

      Bear in mind as Psmith67 observed (above) another Government like the USA will lead, but also note a super-Government ruling 1,000,000,000 addicts (inhalant nicotine $igarette slaves) controls the USA and its partners.  The empire is built on the 700-mg. hot burning overdose carbon monoxide $igarette, with part of the $$Profits going to game the system, scare pooliticians into line (against cannabis) etc.  Read “Toke Pure” on this website: the “joint” widely interpreted in Europe to mean a joining of cannabis with tobacco, is used to get youngsters hooked on nicotine.  If they weren’t afraid to own a little pipe they wouldn’t need to “joint” or the nicotine.   Rea”Pipesafe”.

      Let politicians know that “one-hitters” exemplify and incorporate the Control and Regulation the present prohibition is failing to deliver, contered in the utensil itself (25 mg instead of 500) instead of through costly external “law enforcement”.
