It’s 2017 and prisons in Britain still contain weed smokers, drug addicts and sellers of usually natural substances that have been deemed unhealthy and dangerous by our government. What I want to know is who are these substances unhealthy and dangerous to? The consumer? Or the government and multi national pharmaceutical corporations?
The government and mainstream media seem so desperate to rid the world of any drug that is not made by a pharmaceutical corporation. Our “free” nation has decided that you are not free to take anything that does not come with a corporate middleman and if you do you will be punished accordingly/harshly.
We as a people keep waiting for the government to adjust the law to remove victimization and make sure that only people that have done something that merits prison end up in prison. We are still waiting and we will be waiting until the sea dries up if our government have anything to do with the matter. Surely it is time for people to wake up and fight one day it could be your child being locked up for such minor offenses.
I was reading Boris Johnson’s thoughts on Cannabis and he said “it is much stronger now than what it was in the sixties!” BULLSHIT JUSTIFICATION from a man that hates freedom and wears his ignorance like a designer garment. From a man that once admitted taking Cocaine before quickly changing his mind and claiming it might have been flour. Cannabis has existed for probably millions of years and if the right strain is grown in the right conditions than it will be as good as anything we have today.
I don’t believe the British government will ever legalize or even decriminalize Cannabis. Why? Because they hate the way it makes people think.
Have you ever worked your testicles off all day and then got back home and smoked a joint? I have many times. What happens is you begin to look at yourself and ask questions like; What the fuck was all that about? Why the fuck do I do this shit? A thirst for money becomes a thirst for knowledge and spiritual enlightenment.
People (as a group) seem strange, lost and desperate when I am stoned and society and the system is just weird and unnecessary. You think a little deeper and you self reflect in way that is not even possible without Cannabis.
And thats why they hate weed, the government are probably still having nightmares about the sixties they don’t want them days to come back. Students protesting on a huge scale recognizing the importance of peace and freedom instead of the importance of themselves and money.
Yes sir. Total bullshit! All these plants are "illegal" yet big pharma can push dangereous chemicals for billion$ of profit. I saw a hard working father of 3 get sent to prison for 15yrs because he had 2 joints in his glove box (in Virgina) absolut horse shit. Resteemed
15 yrs?? Harsh. That is something you should expect for rape or something.
it is a lie. The are smoking cannabis all day all night...
I wish i was.
It is part of babylon's age-old war on the shaman's toolchest
Because they have nothing to gain and can only lose political office if they legalize it.
My thoughts on it have changed. I used to have a liberal view but I am quite against drugs now. Cannabis kills people's ambitions, most daily smokers never reach anywhere near their life's potential. I know some may disagree with me but for those who do, please respect my opinion, you don't have to agree with it. And this is from someone who has smoked a lot in my life and met many others!
I also think if it was legalized in the UK it would be widely abused, unlike here in NL where it is quite taboo among Dutch people. In UK, its not taboo even though its illegal!
Bruce lee, Bob Marley, John Lennon all used cannabis regularly pretty ambitious people despite that use?
I am a strong supporter and advocate for cannabis and I agree with you to an extent. Cannabis can easily create a comfort zone in many people that leads to a level of abuse day-in and day-out. It feels so nice, no reason to go anywhere or do anything but be stoned. Anything can be abused to a level of it being self destructing. Their are too many strong exceptions to this to make it the end-all answer. Cannabis is being abused by many people that use it like comfort junk food to escape an uncomfortable situation or a similar type of abuse. Their are too many people that find it enriching, a way to see one's brain from a different perspective and problem solve, a spark to unbounded creativity, an introverted mirror to see depths of one's true existence and even temporary ego death. All of this can be accomplished without cannabis although some of us may find it rewarding, safe and easier with it and that's fine. Higher risk indeed although its so much more benign than many other 'drugs.' I think we need to educate people on tolerance checks, have more respect for the plant, just say know instead of no. Cannabis has both amplified my ambition and killed it(extremely rarely kills it). It modulates itself depending on a near infinite amount of variables. YMMV
