The Case For Cannabis
by Graham Smith
Drug and cannabis are two words which should never be used in the same sentence.The fact that one cannot be mentioned without the other is directly attributable to US government sponsored deception and lies. As we near an inevitable change in drug policy here in the UK these lies are now easily exposed by anyone with an internet connection.
All of us interested in promoting the legal use of cannabis should start to concentrate on the difference and the distance between cannabis and any other substance. Too often we allow ourselves to be drawn into the “War on drugs” argument when in actual fact it isnt our war. There is no Legalise Heroin or Legalise Cocaine movements and it may be a good time to ask ourselves “Why not?”
One of the reasons is that the heroin trade has been monopolised for years by big pharma, opiates are one of the biggest sellers in their portfolio. The poor track record of this reckless and socially irresponsible industry is well established and remains sanctioned by governments worldwide which protect it from diminishing or collapsing markets. Not withstanding the amount of deaths and social deprivation caused by prescription medicines these are considered well regulated and well run companies and remain a firm favourite with stock markets globally.
