Cannabis Related Acquired Paranoia by Proxy. Or C.R.A.P.P. some times called ""CANNAPHOBIA""
A dangerous contagious condition spread by emotion and lack of logic or clear thinking and normally involves the use of urban myths and half truths (http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_myth.shtml) and wishfully thinking.
Who me?
It is spread to gullible people, especially prone to the fear ( Example Fear of Drugs*)
spread by the sufferers (edit) of (C.R.A.P.P.) are parents or politicians who can be scared by the prospect of losing votes.
Only Vulcans seem to be immune. LOL
The basis of the condition (C.R.A.P.P.) seems to be a need to control the behaviour of others and is based on moral outrage or moral panic Moral panic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic and fear of loss of control.
The actions of other people even when they pose no possible threat to the sufferer, induce extreme fear and paranoia.
The sufferers of C.R.A.P.P. appear to be immune to the use of logic or reason.
Over time the control measures they advocate become more extreme as the present and past control measure always end in failure in the long term.
The condition would probably continue even if Cannabis ceased to exit, as the fear and paranoia would transfer to something else that other people were doing that they do not like.
Past and present examples of this related behaviour include,
Censorship of book paper magazine television, films plays on moral or religious grounds,
control over what clothing people ware especial women, example (Mary Whitehouse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Whitehouse)
control of the consumption of tobacco or alcohol
Control over gambling or sex example (Sexualizing youth: morality campaigns and representations of youth in early 1960s Buenos Aires. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-18718131_ITM)
The condition (C.R.A.P.P.) may affect sufferers in the following ways.
An irrational fear induced by other people smoking or using Cannabis, leading to
1. Constant state of fear.
2. Misplaced trust in state institutions (police) to ability to stop people using cannabis.
3. Misplaced trust in drugs made by pharmaceutical industry as the only people who are to be trusted to produce safe drugs.
4.Joining with groups of fellow sufferers and trying to impose their strange moral views on others. http://www.eurad.net/Links.htm
5.Attempting to become consultants or advised to government the UN, parent groups and any one else they can spread the condition(C.R.A.P.P.) to.
6.In extreme cases the sufferers may suffer delusion of grandeur or an inflated scene of their own importance. (Grainne Kenny (Ireland) Hon President CIADO Romania, Drug Watch Int, Board of Directors classic example)
7.sufferers will use any and all opportunities of access the media to spread their condition (C.R.A.P.P.).
8.The individual may seek bogus awards to inflate their own scene of importance.
9. They may get trained as anti drug counsellor to help spread the condition.(C.R.A.P.P.)
10.sufferers loose any understand of civil liberties and advocate more power for the police to arrest people and confiscate property with conviction in the courts. http://www.isil.org/resources/lit/looting-of-america.html
11.sufferers in groups may advocate state funding for Rigged Scientific studies are used to back up this delusional thinking and to help spread the condition. (C.R.A.P.P.)
12.sufferers may loses touch with reality and confuse other plants with Cannabis. Example
”Grainne kenny attacks Public house for have Trees that look like cannabis. EURAD (Europe Against Drugs) president Grainne Kenny has launched an outrageous attack on a pub in Limerick, which she has accused of trying to attract customers by planting trees outside which she feels are imitation cannabis trees. "Why do the guards, the chamber of commerce and civil society tolerate this. These trees should be removed. They are giving out a very dangerous message to children", she said. Ms Kenny made her comments to an anti-drugs seminar in the city and displayed leaves she had broken off the trees. But the owner of the bar, Will Rooney denied any wrongdoing. "They may look like something else, but they are called Japanese Maple. We wanted something to replace palm trees that were stolen, and this is what we got", said Mr Rooney. "I noticed one was a bit bare, maybe she'll replace it for us", he added. “ http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72587
The plant she was looking at that day was artificial japanese maple

Acer palmatum, called Japanese Maple or Smooth Japanese Maple
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_palmatum
Real Japanese Maples.
13.sufferers from the condition (C.R.A.P.P.) seem to believe that business men like George Soros are providing massive funds for groups campaigning for the legalization of Cannabis.
14.sufferers may believe that doctor who think that Cannabis may be used for medical purposes should not be allows to practice medicine.
