Cool links, Lulu - I've visited cannabisireland before, but couldn't remember the addy as I only stumbled across it...thanks for reminding me of it, a very informative site.
(I didn't hurt myself in the stumble, btw )

We must adopt an anti-cannabis viewpoint if we are to get anywhere ("know your enemy"?). I think that the main problem that campaigners have, is that they try to justify themselves, instead of undermining their opposition - most debates end with the campaigner saying "it's not fair!" lol...life, as we all know, aint fair.
Let's make it fair!

The prohibition on cannabis is a travesty - it takes away the individual freedom of choice that has little or no consequence upon the populace.

Language is very important too.
We would campaign for legal drug USE, whereas the opposer will demonstrate drug ABUSE...two TOTALLY different arguments...the latter of which both parties are in concurrence, I think.

We must demonstrate how cannabis, as a mecidinal thing, would benefit society, rather than the individual - the masses aren't concerned with individuals, because they aren't in the equation.
We must put more pressure upon the government to introduce better drug education in schools - something that I'm not sure is anywhere near adequate.

Cannabis, as we all know, has many qualities that could be used to society's advantage, but that fact brings with it many implications about present methods of manufacture - I'm sure that the cotton industry would be delighted to see hemp brought back as a viable material...NOT! lol
(ever wondered why we still use petrol to fuel our cars? lmaoo)

We must be mindful of the image that the majority of the population view us - hippy-like ne'er-do-wells, who sit around saying "yeah, man..cool"...and NOT go down the same road as Fathers For Justice..sheesh, they must like the taste of their own feet!

I'm willing to take them on, but I can't do it alone...
So, if this little debate has stirred some passion within you, then put that passion to good use:
JUSTIFY YOUR HABIT/NEED FOR WEED.
DO SOME RESEARCH TO BACK YOURSELF UP.
WRITE IT ALL DOWN!

and post it at Cannabis.com! (yay)
but, be warned, your thesis must be air-tight...after all, there'll be a thousand and one lawyers who will seek to discredit you in the 'real-world'

Right then, cup of tea, anyone?

RESiNATE Reviewed by RESiNATE on . Legalise Cannabis: The Start... The past couple of days has seen me in an exceptionally wierd mood. I can't quite understand what it is that I'm going through; depression, alienation, loneliness? Whatever. Anyways, I've been doing alot of thinking during this time (of which unabatable wierdness continues to haunt me), and have been trying to arrive at a solution to the age old argument of wether or not Cannabis should be legalised. All of this preamble has a point (eventually lol). So, whilst I continue to ponder Rating: 5
