The Jersey Legalise Cannabis Alliance referred to by Evelyn can be found on Facebook and seeks to legalise the herb for medicinal purposes.
ReplyDeleteWe emailed every States Member to advise of this posting and to invite comments or any support for Eveleyn. Not a single reply has been received - not even an "Out of Office" automated response. So either the email was blocked by the gov.je censor or they are an ignorant bunch of wasters....
DeleteTo not receive a reply from a single States member is shocking and appears to demonstrate a complete lack of political backbone. They need to start waking up to reality, the global cannabis decriminalisation and legalisation movement is lapping at the shores of Britain and it's showing no signs of slowing down. The war on cannabis has failed spectacularly, and it's high time our Government realised this and started to look into how best to regulate the situation, instead of spending untold quantities of taxpayers money targeting and prosecuting non-violent and otherwise innocent and law abiding individuals for the mere possession and cultivation of personal amounts of cannabis. For too long Governments and the media have stereotyped cannabis and cannabis users unnecessarily and unfairly. Prohibition is based on lies and pseudoscience and the people are fast waking up to this reality. In the United States, cannabis is still federally classed as a schedule one substance, meaning "no currently accepted medical use", yet the US government itself has been prescribing cannabis to some individuals since the 70's, and itself holds patents concerning the healing properties of cannabis, for example U.S. Patent 6630507, assignee: 'The United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services'. This, from the country that started the ill-fated and fantastically expensive ' war on drugs'. That's not to mention the countless peer reviewed scholarly articles citing evidence of the plants ability to induce cell apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancerous growths. I could go on all day. In a nutshell, to claim that cannabis has no medicinal or therapeutic qualities is utterly absurd. Four thousand years of documented history can't be wrong, but a few misguided politicians, more easily so. End the taboo.
