By continuing to support cannabis prohibition laws, politicians and others are::

unduly interfering with the Human Rights of a Private Life and choice and practice of belief, contrary to Human Rights laws

enabling criminal organisations and even terrorist groups to make huge tax-free profits from sales

creating unnecessary obstacles for people in need of good quality and clean cannabis

driving people that fear the consequences of growing cannabis in their homes into the hands of uncontrollable, often unscrupulous and dangerous and untaxed suppliers and criminal gangs

putting at risk the health and wellfare of victimless cannabis consumers

opening the gateway to hard drugs through dealers

putting children at risk - illegal dealers usually have no agree restrictions

punishing people that have done no harm to others

costing the public purse many millions of pounds annually through the cost of policing, court proceedings and prisons

unduly preventing and alienating those criminalised from taking certain jobs, renting accommodation, obtaining insurance and limiting travel.

enabling huge profits for shareholders such as the spouses of government ministers through businesses such as British Sugar, GW Pharmaceuticals - such as the husbands of Victoria Aitkins and Theresa May.

Putting at risk many people that have no alternative than prescription pharmaceutical drugs t=and that could be using cannabis.

Stifling research into the many benefits of cannabis such as its environmentally-friendly and safe utilisation as a source of fuels, plastics, solvents, paints, cloth and medicine

    2. I agree with all of the statement. The goverment attitude is very unpleasant. A lot of hypocracy and corruption I suspect. (This is the polite version!)
