Police attack peaceful cannabis protest to make way for "Legalization"!
Watch Vancouver cops try to silence activists from telling the public LEGALIZATION IS A LIE - protecting their corporate masters!
The Global Marijuana March happens on the 1st Saturday of May every year in cities around the world! After 20+ peaceful years, Vancouver police attacked in 2018, sending patients, activists, and gardeners scrambling. This was just months before full recreational legalization of cannabis in Canada. The police said "come back in October when it's legal, and you can do this all you want", but that was also a lie. Legalization never brought freedom, or an end of the horrible prohibition we've been enduring for generations. Legalization is only about corporate monopolization of a trillion dollar industry, and destruction of a peaceful culture. Anyone outside the legal regime is a criminal destined for 14 years in prison.
Canada was first to "legalize". Please, don't fall for it in your country or state! End prohibition - do NOT legalize!!
See for yourself exactly what happens when you allow your government to regulate and control access to a plant!

I just read an article by Forbes that was talking about how the pot stocks in Canada are a terrible buy right now and they are extremely over-extended and overprices, even after taking a huge crash in prices.
The more concerning part is that it said only around 4% of the Cannabis produced was actually consumed in August, and similar numbers from the rest of the year. This means that there is a massive amount of bud sitting in warehouses just waiting to flood the market. Their solution to this is to simply produce more bud to lower the prices even further- they are doing the same thing that farmers did in the early 20th century....
They massively overproduced to drop cost of production in order to compensate for the already high supply and competition, flooded the markets with their crops, which in turn became literally useless as nobody wanted to buy them. People resorted to literally burning those crops or just dumping them in order to reduce overall supply. We will see this happen in the Cannabis industry as the supply glut continues to grow.
Anything that is happening is by design, decided long ago in backroom deals. Minor variations are okay, but for the most part, their narrative will play out exactly as they planned.

In other parts of the world that have legalized in various ways, first there's a supply shortfall, and then there's a supply glut. Canada is about to switch over from shortfall to glut.
Legal cannabis is 3 or 4 times more expensive than properly grown free market bud, and quite a bit lower quality. It's irradiated (not cured), harsh, dead, and low in trichome heads. Full of chemicals and pesticides, sometimes even banned shit like Myclobutanil. They only thing going for it is that you don't get 14 years in prison for participating in it.
So enforcement against the "black market" (freedom) will ramp up, supposedly to stamp it out, since they will blame the black market (freedom) for prices being so low.
But why should prices be high?
Who does that benefit? Certainly not the patients and other consumers. Higher prices is good for corporations and insiders that have permission to grow and sell. And it's good for government because higher prices mean more taxation.
But cannabis is literally a weed. It should be priced like a weed. Currently it's the most expensive plant in Canada, and also the most "legal" plant in Canada. Hmmm. Something's not right.
Fuck the pot stocks and any douchey profiteer trying to get rich that way. Scumbags, every last one of them. The legal regime devotes part of their income to stamping out the free market (activists, patients, and peaceful growers like myself). They lobby government to demand more enforcement against dispensaries that don't have a license. I have zero respect for anyone involved in the legal regime in Canada, I will never support it, I will always speak out against its sinister ways, and my activism won't be over until true cannabis freedom is achieved for the PEOPLE here in Canada.
My wife has a prescription for cannabis, saying she needs it every day to keep herself alive, signed by her doctors. There's no higher 'permission form' in Canada than that. Yet it isn't supplied to her like all other prescriptions in Canada are. She has to get it herself, and pay for it herself. What's worse, when she does so, she gets arrested and jailed! Hopefully people see a problem with this system. Legalization is a lie.
Like I said, cannabis can be grown literally for nothing, except love and knowledge. Once you know how, if you put time and effort in, you can produce cannabinoids of high caliber. I've proved it over and over, as have many others. So I can easily produce the medicine my wife needs, so that she doesn't get thrown in jail (even though she has a prescription).... but I would go to prison for 14 years just for growing those plants, and extracting the cannabinoids.
This is why legalization is a lie, can never be supported by anyone with a conscience, and why I won't stop fighting cannabis prohibition until it's completely gone. Legalization is a massive step in the wrong direction and Canadians are far less free today than we were a few years ago.
An historic moment in the cannabis community, thanks for getting footage and posting. The GMM is becoming more and more of an important protest while 4/20 is becoming a washed-up, meaningless party. We prefer the GMM and Cannabis Day over 4/20 lately.
Seeing it all together is an interesting experience. Must have been quite the day. It's cool that it happens once a year! And in hundreds of cities around the world, too. Solidarity against cannabis prohibition!
The Global Marijuana March is always exciting. That year was something extra sepcial. After we dealt with the cops, it was fun parading downtown yelling Legalisation's a LIE!
Shame! fucking pricks.
Right before it goes legal, they have to flex and show us they're still boss.
Funny thing about that, is they're still the boss now, post-legalization. Their budgets went up by 50% so they can handle all the new cannabis "crimes".
That's why I try and spread awareness that legalization is a total scam! The word sounds okay, but the devil is in the details! What we want is decriminalization - the end of prohibition. Not more laws, more crimes, more budgets, more restrictions, more limitations.
Sad thing is, YouTube hid this video behind an 18+ wall. They also shadowban all my cannabis content (my regular videos get thousands of views but my activism barely gets 200 views). I had this on DLive last year, but DLive is dead, so I'm glad I have the option of 3Speak. People need to know this, especially in the cannabis community!
Well man im glad you put this back out here, i so forgot about dlive. Damn what a joke huh. Well man keep doing what your doing, at best i can throw you up votes, and spread the word when i have conversations about legalization.
Thank you! Yeah, just never let an opportunity to pass to mention that legalization isn't always what people hope it will be. Remind people to look into the details before supporting it in their state/country. Portugal did it right in 2001, they decriminalized everything, and life has never been better for them (except pharmaceutical drug use is down, so drug companies lost out, and crime is down, so police departments and prisons lost out). Hopefully more places do it like that, but the way the world is going, I'm not holding my breath..
Cannabis prohibition is one of the most glaring examples that humans today are NOT free! #endcannabisprohibition
Thanks for the upload <3
free the green I say.
it has been illegal for about 100 years now, for no good reason. it's not dangerous to people or society. it's only dangerous to corporate monopolies.
It's good to see more @DRutter weed content lately! ;D
Upvoted and also resteemed to my hemperrific followers.
Powerful, you said a very bitter truth Well your message won't resonate so good for the gospel preachers of legalise, in my opinion I think that people are often carried away with how cannabis seems to cure hypertension and cancer as well as act as solution for medicinal purpose I do agree, but being smoked indiscriminately without check on the users? That's gotta be crazy really.
I can help you understand how cannabis cures cancer, if you'd like to learn. :)
Cannabinoids (there are 100+ different ones in cannabis, like THC, CBD, etc) attack tumor cells in the body, a process called apoptosis. This causes the cancer cell to close up and die, and all its contents are absorbed back into the body (recycled). This is a safe and clean way to remove cancer. Radiation (the most common mainstream treatment) burns and kills ALL cells (including healthy cells), and leaves terrible scars and nerve damage.
This was discoverted in 1974 by US President Nixon, but he had the studies covered up and silenced. It was rediscovered in the 1990s by Spanish university researchers, and now the entire scientific world knows about it.
The only people who don't know about it are certain members of society who remain brainwashed by the propaganda they received from government for decades, saying that cannabis is dangerous and unhealthy. They even told us that cannabis CAUSED cancer... but that was a lie. It truly CURES cancer.
Thousands of university studies from all over the world have confirmed this fact, my friend. I don't mean to be rude when I tell you this information, or to make you feel foolish. Many people don't know this. But now you do, so please, don't spread the wrong information that cannabis doesn't cure cancer. You might tell somebody that lie, who has cancer, and stop them from saving their own life. That would be very sad.
Here's some more information about this topic: Cannabis CURES Cancer!
I have information about cannabis for hypertension too, if you're interested. My wife and I have both done 10 years of full-time research into this topic, because she has cancer and overcomes it with cannabis oil, so we have become experts on the topic. :)
