Public support for cannabis law reform is growing, and it seems inevitable that it will happen at some point. It’s no longer a question of should we change the law, what should we change it to and how soon?
What’s the point in allowing the pharmaceutical industry create expensive cannabis synthetics when the natural product on its own can easily do what the expensive products can’t?
It is clear now that one of the arguments which will be deployed in the immediate future to oppose sensible reform of our cannabis laws, will be the Government’s previous insensible experimentation with synthetic highs.
A sterling effort today by the mainstream media in trying to explore the true economic and social costs of cannabis by asking what happens if we go beyond medicinal and decriminalisation to full legalisation with a taxed and regulated cannabis market…
Decriminalisation is merely begrudging acknowledgement from those authorities in society who have benefited from prohibition that their immoral, racist and destructive war on drugs has been an utter failure.
..what a shallow, baseless society we have become when the war on drugs trumps basic reason.
