RE: Why Keeping Cannabis Illegal is Selfish
I want to agree i really do, but, they will not legalise it, especially while traitor may is in number 10. They know what will come of legalisation, 70% of tokers will all grow their own legally. The other 30% and new comers will use guberment sponsored outlets for variety and pay some tax, but then they will turn to growing their own and eventually everybody would be growing their own, and they would not make a single penny out of it. As it stands they make money from prohibition, they need to stop making money from prohibition before anything will go our way.
How do we stop them profitting from prohibition, Stop getting caught, Stop claiming to represent a legal fiction if you are accosted by so called authority figures, and don't carry any more than you need to be carrying just in case. We keep feeding them because most stoners are lazy and complacent ;)
I remain optimistic about legalisation - it's a when not an if imo :) After all, we now have so many case studies of how good it can be economically. I'm going to do another vlog soon about how the NHS is on it's knees and how we should legalise cannabis and use the money generated to help solve this crisis. It's worth discussing ideas like this, even if they seem unlikely to act on them. The police numbers are also being cut, so why not take cannabis out of the criminal system and free them up to focus on real crimes?
I think (hope!) quite a few people would grow their own in a legal system, but there will be a big enough market of people who don't want to to make it worthwhile and then some.
Please be careful railing on the NHS mate, they are trying to privatise it by manipulating our beliefs, a few cuts here and there = waiting times increase and staff are over worked. Making it look like we need to throw more money at it, when we already throw more than enough, well we would if the parasites were not lining their own pockets with our revenue, guberment only exist to get things done with a 1% efficiency, its guberment that we need rid of, no more prohibition or taxes, sounds like a paradise to me :)
