Petitions

I have here the links to some online government petitions to legalise Cannabis.
Get the message to as many people as you can and maybe in a few years time we could be treated fairer for our harmless hobby....

allow cannabis users the right to grow cannabis for personal use:-
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to allow cannabis users the right to grow cannabis for personal use.

safeguard the public from the risks of inappropriate use of cannabis by bringing its control and sales within the law.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to safeguard the public from the risks of inappropriate use of cannabis by bringing its control and sales within the law.

initiate a test program whereas cannabis users may purchase upto 5grams in a "coffeeshop"
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to initiate a test program whereas cannabis users may purchase upto 5grams in a "coffeeshop".

legalise cannabis
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to remove cannabis and cannabis products from the Misuse of Drugs Act and associated laws.

It's probably worth noting here that these are petitions dealing with legalization issues in the United Kingdom, not in the U.S. or elsewhere. I'm going to place this thread in our Activism area, Bent Bananna. Welcome to the boards.

If petitions worked sonny.. marijuana would have BEEN legal by now, prostitution and the right to self-fondling in public, and NO MORE CIGARETTE SMOKING BANS would all have been legal too .. but petitions are something like Santa Clause, Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny sonny.

haha :thumbsup:

but yeah.. petitions been around for years.. I aint seen anythin worthwhile come from them..

Online petitions and emails to senators generally equate to spam to these people. What you need to do if you really want to make an impact is actually write a hand letter to these people. And petitions should all be hand signed as well. Doing things like this the "old fashion" way shows them you put more effort into your ideas. Email and online petitions are the lazy mans way of doing it. Show more effort and they willl be apt to listen.

yeah but there all vote whores, they'll say whatever you want to get a vote.
