Why Is Cannabis Illegal? I know.

[Wesley Pipes]

Ok so i dug out a copy of FreeWeed magazine and found this article.

These are reasons as to why cannabis aint legal, because so many companys would lose billions, companys from which the goverments take a sizeable cut!, these are a list of those industries and reasons they dont want cannabis legal.

Chemical Companies:
Cotton requires large amounts of chemical fertiliser and pesticides, unlike cannabis which stronger and more durable fibers.

Plastics Industry:
Many plastic products can be made from natural cannabis without pollution.

Timber Industry:
Cannabis 'hurds' (the woody bit of the stalk) can be used to make furniture as well as paper of superior quality than that made from wood.

Tobacco and Alchohol Industries:
If more people turned to the safer and non-addictive recreational pastime than their products.

Pharmaceutical Companies:
Who may profit less if ill people were to grow their own medecine in preference to their many dangerous and addictive synthetic drugs which the same people claim are less affective than cannabis.

Criminal Justice Industry:
Including police, lawyers, barristors, court officials, prison staff, probation services, drug counsellors, forensic scientists, customs officiers and security firms, who may suffer if 100,000 less prosecutions are brought each year. ( the system really is against us )

Fuel Companies including Fossil, Nuclear and Solar:
The Report of the FCDA Europe (endorsed by Judges, Doctors & Academics) reveals that the 'cannabis biomass equation' shows beyond doubt that cannabis-derived fuel is a cheaper and safer form of viable energy.

Well for one simple reason because it can make you have short-term memory loss, and make you go mental.

That's not true. Again, its a TV program, hey, they can say what they like, but it has NEVER been proved to cause ANY form on mental illness.

Yup, I dont agree with Pyschosis theory..........I have seen pepes go mad with drugs

But the only one to lose his mind lost it on acid and speed..........He just happened to be smoking weed as well

its true that there isnt 100% conclusive proof linking cannabis to psychosis - but i think this article from

Dr Brian Boettcher (Consultant Psychiatrist Shelton Hospital, Shropshireâ??s Community & Mental Health Services NHS Trust) sums it up quite well....

"The drug induced psychosis seen when Cannabis is the main substance being abused is distinct phenomenologically from other psychosis.

It is unusual for such a psychosis to occur without other drugs being involved to some extent and so it is difficult to tease out the differences between the effects of Cannabis and other drugs.

However it is misleading and dangerous, to our youth in particular, to label Cannabis as â??softâ?�. In fact the serious adverse effects of Cannabis have been known for some time now and Hall and Solowij in the British Journal of Psychiatry sounded warnings in 1997 about such issues as dependence on Cannabis, adolescent developmental problems, permanent cognitive impairment as well as involvement in and the development of psychosis.[1]

There are suggestions that in a small number of cases Cannabis is capable of precipitating psychosis, going on to the chronic picture described below, in people who have had no family and personal history of psychiatric illness.There have been suggestions that such people may be the ones who have started Cannabis in their teens and caused disturbance to neural connectivity. However, it seems Cannabis can precipitate or exacerbate a schizophrenic tendency in a characteristic manner."

this authoritative and non-politicised opinion is widely accepted in the medical community in the UK......

not that im against legalisation by the way - drug induced psychosis only affects a very small proportion of users.....but it is a real condition. I personally 2 people who've suffered psychosis from smoking copious amounts of weed.....1 of whom has been sectioned twice.....MJ is a great drug but it aint 100% safe.....
