I can't see how anyone involved with cannabis would be Concerned with following the "rules.":laughing:

Actually that's an attitude that needs to change if we want to speed up the process of marijuana being legalized. Back in the days when the governments behaved more fascist toward marijuana it was appropriate to respond in a more defiant, Fuck The World, manner. Even though it also helped build the long haired, dirty, smelly, pot smoking, Hippies.

Now that it's starting to happen we need to start changing that image. We need to be seen as the same as everyone else. So that nobody regrets marijuana being legalized.

I guess your in the USA hempcat.
Here in the uk there is no chance of legalisation and a 'fuck the government' attitude is needed as your breaking their laws every time you enjoy or medicate.

I thought the UK was a democracy? How do your elected politicians serve your will if there is no chance of legislation? Or are you saying there is no chance because an overwhelming majority opposes legalization?

UK is a supposed democracy.... As in all decisions must be passed through the House of Commons (ie politicians), the House of Lords (hereditary titles, and some rich elected these days) and the queen.
Even if we did manage to get legalisation to be on the politicians agenda the bill would also have to pass the other two ..., who by the way always vote the same.

This is what I like to call 'the illusion of choice ' - the realisation of this is what has turned many people here in UK off voting altogether.

As they say.... Choosing which political party to vote for is like choosing what flavor potato chips to dip in a bowl of shit. Don't make much difference.

maybe political parties serve the purpose of dividing the people.
the more parties, the more divided we are, and the less power we have.

The British media is a sensationalist bunch of headline grabbing, lying assholes who print crap on the front page , then apologise 6 weeks later on page 30 in tiny writing.
Since I found out how many of them write up their reports on things like public events days before the actual events have taken place I can no longer be bothered to give newspapers a second glance

Okay, if only it could be initiated at first based on medical value. There's stuff we take in prescription form that is much more potentially harmful but has perceived benefits. To date nobody has proven any harmful effects of marijuana. Yet we have discovered that marijuana can be a very effective treatment for children suffering from seizures as has been documented by the child a strain known as "Charlotte's Web" was named after. It wasn't a very popular strain because it had a low THC count although other cannabinoid counts were unusually high. As a medicine for a child with seizures it was extremely effective. Charlotte used to have multiple seizures each day. Her parents had tried all the other options that doctors would suggest and nothing worked. Her parents finally tried marijuana and within a short time of her ingesting it her seizures stopped and her parents finally saw a path to a fairly normal life for their daughter.

This has prompted serious research in Israel and Spain I believe also has been doing serious research. It has shown benefits in helping people with cancer, Alzheimer's and many other real medical issues. It interacts with receptors designed specifically for interaction with cannabinoids. Much as other parts of the human body interact with plant food that contains specific vitamins and minerals one needs. In other words our bodies were designed to work with cannabinoids. Another interesting benefit of marijuana is that it helps ease the debilitating side effects of medical treatments like chemo therapy and radiation therapy.

Any politician not willing to at least legalize medical marijuana should be framed as someone who would rather children suffer from seizures and millions struggle with things like cancer rather then give marijuana a chance to prove it's value.

They say it's a democracy
even though scientific studies show it's clearly an oligarchy..

It's just another Capitalistic society if the wealthy have a direct and open role in the government. At least here in America we keep the role of the wealthy a bit more hidden. :) Not that it's any more effective :(

There's a time for acting defiant and a time for acting more normal. Especially in a society that still believes in "Reefer Madness". One of the biggest fears of the resistant is that crazed reefer users will come into their community. So the last thing a segment of society that is going even further by legalizing both medically an recreationally, is a wave of people coming in and confirming their worst fears were justified.

The tolerance is already there otherwise legalization wouldn't have passed. Plus it's not just one small group of marginalized people. You'd be surprised at some of people who would favor legalization because they do it too. Marijuana is multi cultural, and multi generational.
