Today i had a slight sore stomach so decided to smoke a bit, did and no more did i feel sick, what a pain reliever, i could only imagine what it does for medically sick people with sore muscles and the type of diseases, legalise this medicine.

it halts glucoma. doesn't cure it but halts it.
my uncle had miners lungs and by the time he was in his early 60's could no longer make it to the pub through being so short of breath. my cousin got him smoking weed and lo and behold he could walk to the pub! it dilates the bronchial tubes. it kills spinal, nerve and muscle pain. some people use it as an anti depressant.
it increases appetite in various illnesses where the appetite is severely surpressed. it has been used to cure alcoholics. it was the medication that enabled me to recover from heroin addiction.
the plant also makes the best rope in the world. the word cannabis comes from the egyptian word 'canvass'. the giant sailing ships of yore were driven by cannabis sails and a puff of wind. you can manufacture soap, perfume, food and or exotic oils and linaments. the waste ...the stem, can be turned into bio diesel.
if you do a search around the web you should come across somewhere, a very interesting write up ...'cannabis ...the saviour of the world' ...or similar.
the oil companies are frightened of cannabis ...so are the brewers and distillers, as are the major drug companies. it is such a marvelous plant that threatens these peoples money. if you can grow an excellent painkiller wich actualy has pleasant side effects ...
once sown the plants need little or no weeding. little or no fertilizer. little or no pesticide.
the magic herb. yet big government and big business keep it locked away from the masses with their propaganja ...er propaganda.
:yes:
I dont see why brewers would be affraid of puff being made legal here, there are very very few people who are put off by the law as it stands, so the numbers of smokers wouldnt go up.
'Big business' influence is much greater in the US anyway because of the way that the polictical campains are funded and tax cuts are given out after elections. Where as here its different, I'm not saying that they dont have influence but the main reason that cannabis is illegal here is because people want it that way. I just think blaming it on business is a bit of a cop out, we need to change the general publics view of cannabis, not just bitch about the influence of business.
thats very true, i've heard people talking about others who are smoking cannabis saying "oh look look he's on drugs blah blah blah" technically it is a drug but its a soft drug and shouldn't get the bad publicity it gets sometimes from people who don't know what it is like.People shouldn't criticise what they don't understand.
in the past the tobacco giants have looked at how they could package and sell weed if ever legal ...this was in the early 70's. politicaly it was the wrong time. they are now looking into it again as tobacco is getting such a bad press. ask the belgian government how much interest the tobacco giants are showing in countries where real reforms are being pushed through.
i think your a little naive bong if you don't understand the massive turf and terrotry wars that go on with big legit bizz. how much power and influence they weild over governments. there are many reasons that dope isn't legal. the main funding to keep it that way comes from the above people ...do some research, you might be quite shocked.
that would be a brilliant thing to happen, *can i have 20 white widow*;)
but do you really think it would be the right time politically now?
turning a profit can all be down to timing. the clubs had to go ahead as early as possible in order to be open by jly 2003 ...the governments stated time for reclassification.
yes the clubs would still be ilegal but ...certain court cases would have to follow to decide how ilegal. the whole thing is about pushing the ideas and the truth ...into the public realm.
and public opinion isn't going to change while the big boys keep up their disinformation campaigns. the only way public opinion changes is through pressure, information and time. it's taken 30yrs to get this far. now the public are seeing modern western democracys legalising or pushing through very positive changes.
their seeing cafes etc spring up. there seeing cannabis in a more positive light.
take the stockport cafe ...now closed down sadly ...not for long though ...the council were amazed at the tourism it brought in to the town. the police agreed it was very peaceful and violence and crime free. the last time the cafe owner was arrested the local mp marched into the police station and demanded they arrest him. for what they asked. he pulled a bag of skunk from his pocket and was arrested. this guy has never smoked in his life. respecatable local employer. respected man of the establishment all round. this kind of pressure keeps a positive flow of info to the public.
VERY BAD for the tourist end of things.
I think that there will be tighter controls on the cafes to try and discourage the 'lad' element somewhat. I good thing too if you ask me, if we are going to move towards sensible drug policy then cannabis needs to rid itself slightly of the negative image it has.
:yes:
too stoned for it
