Response from English government

[Breukelen advocaat]

No need for violence. We could advance the cause of lot of things, such as legalized marijuana, by targetting and boycotting consumer products. If you hit certain corporations hard enough, such as the music industry, and demand action, they would be forced to lobby for your interests with far better resources than any individual, or even most groups, could muster. Petitions end up in the trash can. When money talks, nobody walks.

The problem is that most people are unwilling to deny themselves any of the convieniences they are accustomed to.

Believe me when I tell you I would be more than happy if someone were to do a Guy Fawkes but I don't see it happening and I think it would hurt us more than help.
I guess we have to accept that legislation and trying to get everyone who is pro-cannabis to speak up is our best option at the moment , we need to show that thier stereotypes are few and far between.

Kudos to you for signing the petition.

Well said Breukelen advocaat , I agree 100%

And maybe you would just do as I said and give them a shit load of ammo to use in their argument .
I can also see the headlines:
Cannabis Terrorist Locked Up For 20 Years.

Your idea would set us back not improve things.

and has anything really moved forward? in a few places mmj is marginally legal, but that will only get herb locked up in pharmacies. maybe a bit of terrorism is what's called for. by the response lip got i would say that these folks don't give a damn about facts or the rights of the average citizen and we can already see the way they are willing to cave in to terrorist threats. is it all that far fetched to appeal to them in the only language they understand - violence? sometimes the only way to change government policy is to change government and sometimes the only way to change government is with violent action.

i would agree that violence is seldom the answer, but sometimes it is the only answer. the key when using violence is not to use it in anger, but with the same cool deliberation that it is used against you.

Bingo! couldn't agree more.

Imagine if the whole of the UK didn't buy beer for a day, or didn't buy petrol for a day.

Apathy is the target - and it needs attacking.

I think you will find that the British goverment has an ongoing policy when it comes to negotiating with terrorists , they DON'T ! They send the SAS after your arse or the Met shoot anything that looks the slightest bit suspicious.
I am the least peaceful person I know but I am smart enough to know when the odds are stacked against me , if I'm dead they I can forget continuing the fight for legalisation.

I really think that EXTREME violence is the only way forward now. I cant be bothered to ask nicely anymore, especially because they keep using their own lies as a way to dismiss everything we say.

They dont deserve life.

I agree with this, but to change much more than marijuana laws, and only if you have a large group of people backing you up. After all, when was the last peaceful revolution (and don't mention Gandhi, because that revolution wasn't peaceful, and neither was Gandhi in reality)? I hate when people say this is never an option. It's not an option because those people will never be willing to fight for anything...sad, really.

I'll believe in peace when those in control are peaceful to those they lead.

The United Nations like to impose sanctions on countries preventing people from getting the medicine they need. I don't give a shit what they think, they are not fucking deciding for me whether to smoke it or not, I'll smoke until my brain turns green if I want.
