CANNABIS WAR
The war on cannabis has gone on for over 70 years and will doubtless
continue for a while yet.
It is an important issue that ought not be put too far aside, despite the
seriousness of current affairs such as the Iraq War and terrorism.
Most people who have tried cannabis will tell you they enjoyed it and were
not harmed, a few will say that it led into hard drug addiction, crime and
misery.
Others, many of whom suffer from dreadful ailments, describe it as
life-saving. To some it is a holy sacrament in their religion.
The law treats all those users the same - criminalising and punishing them
even though they have not hurt anyone.
The law allows for places where people can socialise while consuming
alcohol, despite all the trouble that causes while cannabis users have
nowhere to legally go despite the evidence from Dutch cannabis "coffee
shops" that they cause no problems.
Would you like to see a legal cannabis cafe for adults in town?
