cannabis - epetition response (http://www.pm.gov.uk/output/Page13948.asp)
not a particularly detailed response, but doesnt give much hope to those who want weed legal in uk
just wondered what everyone else makes of it

i'm a mental nurse, and in 20yrs i've yet to see a mental patient whose condition was caused by cannabis. i've seen hundreds legally caused by alcohol though.

Just more politician spin to the blue rinse pensioner set in order to collect votes.

The current laws do nothing but create a deep pool of profits for criminals backed by white collar investors.

If the insurance companies whine on about burglary costing £X million then legalise all drugs & deal with addiction through the NHS can't see many junkies getting off their backside to steal when the chemist will give them herion not the more deadly methidone for free. Then have the insurance companies pay 70% of £X milliion pounds saving to offset NHS costs. We get relief on the police they get a 30% increase in profit. At least thats the short version of what i preach anyway.

If you WANT to change the way POLITICIANS think about drugs GET ALL THE YOUNG & DRUG TAKING PEOPLE to VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Pensioners are organised some home help drags them each & all to the polling station. How many of the stoners do you know voted in the last election.

Also don't feel bound y the UK notion of Grassing when it comes to hypocritical corruption in the drug law. If you meet a police officer, politician or other government official seeling or taking drugs EXPOSE them. Its about time some of these university educated people who take drugs stopped hiding behind the oooohhhh it was only during my college days crap.

Just my opinion mind.

3 replies out of however many UK member & 77 views is about the right percentage if not a bit higher than that of the actual % of people in the UK who would be willing to be politicaly active in changing the UK drug laws. And thats why the professional liars aka (politicians) focus there energy on the anti drug lobby of reformed drug takers who because of their own regrets are generally more neo con in their views.

Talk to FRANK he will reinforce your views that you should lie to your children about taking drugs. No need to talk sense just live in denial.

I'm starting to question if cannabis will ever truly be legal. I will smoke on anyway, as i'm sure will millions of others.
