Having used cannabis for several years in order to combat the symptoms of this stupid, irritating learning-social disorder that I supposedly have, more commonly known as ‘Asperger Syndrome’, I myself have concluded that cannabis is MUCH safer than prescription antidepressants, antipsychotics and tranquillisers alike. And certainly a lot better than the amphetamines, with which it now shares the slightly loftier position of Class B. ‘B’ for ‘Brown’ (as in Gordon); ‘B’ for ‘Bollocks’. And all the while, my own stepfather dies continually in agony, day in and day out, because of the effects of wonderful, legal and socially acceptable alcohol consumption, generally at a discount price. Now, he is either drunk and sick with his liver/kidney deterioration, or else stupefied with librium to stop him from convulsing to death. Enough is enough. It’s time to fight for our right to our way of life. It’s legal to drink, smoke tobacco, vote fascist, and kill for your country (so long as you’re wearing a uniform).

It’s okay to have a religious belief, or watch TV compulsively, or to have racist and/or homophobic beliefs. Yet a PLANT, a product of NATURE, which neither kills nor causes anywhere near as much harm as the examples listed above, is unacceptable, primarily because 1) it can’t be easily taxed, and 2) the initial anti-marijuana law was fraught with delusional, somewhat fascist beliefs, such as the notion that ‘reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men’, and ‘the primary reason to outlaw marijuana, is its effect on the degenerate races’. Look up Harry J Anslinger, and read it for yourself. As George Washington once said, ‘Plant the hemp seed; sow it everywhere’.

And as I say, don’t let the bastards get you down. People of all walks of life, from toilet cleaners to the aristocracy, continue to enjoy this miraculous gift of nature. Doctors, teachers, barristers and refuse collectors — whatever their occupation, or lack thereof, people from every corner of society, consume the weed either by smoking or eating.

If every one of us were to ‘come out’ and, all at once, admit that every last one of us has benefited from use of marijuana, then maybe they would reconsider. And even if they do not reconsider, we must continue to do what we enjoy, as standing up to the bullies is the only way to make them back down. Or crush your skull, but at least we get to die on our feet, instead of living on our knees.

“Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2=4. If that is granted, all else follows” — GEORGE ORWELL, ‘1984’.

Amen to that.

cheers,

but when it comes to cannabis it is more about being mature and realistic and that is what i believe that is causing people to think that it can cause a mental health problem like scysofrania, because it makes you realise things that you probably never thought of that refreshes your brain and its thought and placing them in a nother level of understanding and it can be conrolable.
so it is not the cannabis that is causing that affect but it is the person who is using it, he/she migh have a weak soul and brain that is unsteady caused by stress in life or mental issues that are deep inside and unknown and that is without even using anything but when they use cnnabis sometimes makes it worse i agree…

but when you come and look at it from the other side “their is alot of peope that are using it in the uk old/young and didnt cause no deaths.. tobaco cases more damadge than cannabis but the law is using the fact that tobaco is adictive to out it in the market and make it leagal to make alot ofmoney “how sad hey?” and cannabis is the victom here.

Do YOU REALLY THINK THAT CHANING CANABIS INTO CLASS B WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE USAGE OF IT? I dont even think so… but it will make people buy it even more and lets them think of sneeky ways to buy it so the government is training normal people on how to be thugsters and dealers that are smugling it “under the table” making alot of money to use it in other bad matters making the crime rate even higher.
why cant the government make that money instead will and legalise it and sell i in normall shops and not t be soled to people under 21, that way you are making mony that is going towards te country and also preventing illegl dealers ad minimizing the crime rate because when you find cannabis in the shops which is a trusted place “who the hell will go buy it off a dealer who is always untrusted and can mix it with anything” that means te dealer will be out of business and crimes that are related by cannabis will disapear and never come back.

im not saying legalise it no im saing reclassify it back to C so the normal people dont get in trouble and in prison over something that is less harming that ALCOHOL..

I’m not trying to argue with you though, just trying to speculate why they might have lumped them together.
