CAMPAIGNING FOR JUSTICE

 The problem is and always has been that the law is run by people paid to perpetuate the system, good or bad, there are many businesses from the legal profession through the pharmaceutical industry and synthetics and fuel producers to illegal suppliers that have and wish to continue to make huge profits. Just look at how long it took Phil to find just ONE solicitor that would even take on the case, just look at how solicitors want their clients to plead guilty, how so few barristers would risk arguing with a judge, how judges misdirect the jury, how they want to side-step any challenge to the law itself and want to avoid consideration of Human Rights, how Tories and Labour parties consistently ignore evidence an spout the same nonsense, how the Church refuses to help us .... for sure under a tyrannical government backed by profiteers and ruling population most of whom are afraid the "rock the boat", OUR OPPONENT IS MASSIVE, well financed and backed by armed forces.

But none of that is new, it's been like that for decades -and even when people stood us as candidates in elections, most consumers did not vote for them; every campaign has been underfunded - there has been more raise din FINES than for all the campaign groups put together, ... then there's Cancard, the success of which (at least in marketting the cards) is due to fear of arrest and weak promises of get-out-of-jail-free.

So, for me, it is a constant ISSUE - do I bother carrying on campaigning when quite clearly most consumers don't give a damn unless it's to ease their own suffering, or avoid their own arrest?

That's why so many campaigners have dropped out - basically due to lack of support from what some (wrongly in my opinion) call the cannacommunity or cannafamily (surely not family of millions that won't help).

Nobody said our route was going to be easy - I said years ago at a conference that it was like a few people pushing a truck up a hill whilst others sat on the wall clapping instead of helping, each with their own reason for not actually helping, and then the people pushing stopped, the truck rolled back down the hill and people came and built obstacle on the road so if people started pushing again it would be even harder.

Then of course there are the go's running the campaign groups that all say "we want the same" but won't actually help or prefer to argue over tactics!

One would think with 4 millions consumers raising even half a million should be possible. With 250,000 people having signed a petition that JUST £2 each; with BILLIONS spent on cannabis every year ....

ONE OF THAT IS ENCOURAGING IS IT?

So we must each make our decision on what we do, do we help or not, or just leave it up to others?

For me it's a burn - I see INJUSTICE and I want to stop it and that is WHAT DRIVES ME - my inspiration comes from within me, nobody else although it does help and inspires me to see others TRYING.

Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill 2021: protest powers factsheet

Referring to The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill 2021 and control over protests

Phil Monk of We The Undersigned, wrote on his Facebook page:

"I wish I knew how to stop the Bill !

"Heading Into a new level of legislation of control that has just changed our campaigning landscape completely

 

"A whole load of new laws and rights (what remain) need to become familiar with to not fall foul of them

 

"Some truly sinister recent legislation that Britain is becoming a Corporatocratic policed State

 

"My Gut tells me we need to start uniting into a new political part or to engage with and help grow a different suitable party

 

"But the entire system is rotten to the core...meaning all this could inevitably result in a dystopian empoverished British nation with hardships leading to violent uprising and insurrection of a super wealthy and power abusing elite

 

"This could all be a great novel if not such a,disturbing reality

 

"It seems there has been a lot of controlled opposition to rob the People of their rights in the guise of protecting public health.

 

"I suppose we could arrange carnivals instead or silent protests?"

My reply:

"There is nothing new in this; it has been planned for decades and somewhat an inevitable attempt by the Governments, not only ours, to keep control in a world where population is growing so fast with such damage by industry to individuals and inevitable protests over the environmental and economic collapses that capitalism leads to - hence the drive by people such as Elon Musk to get us off the planet and whilst we are still here, trace our every move and word and limit our freedom and control our money, education, communication, transport and even entertainment - "they" already control the news and rug elections.

 

"Fact is freedom is mostly an inner experience - I reckon I was one of the most free men in prison because I refused to see it as them locking me up - I used to bang my own cell door closed before they had the chance; and lockdown which to me has never been lockdown just restrictions has not been a problem, because I am not a number, I am a free man, even when locked up.

 

"That does not mean that I approve of what the tyrants are doing or will not resist, it means I will not let them grind me down."

 

 

POINTS IN FAVOUR OF CANNABIS LEGALISATION

POINTS IN FAVOUR OF CANNABIS LEGALISATION

• 
  Over £16,000,000,000 (16 Billion) is spent in the UK fighting ‘drugs’ annually. 
• Millions are criminalised - over 1 million in the last 30 years. Prison sentences, including those for non-payment of fines, lead to family break-ups and all the problems associated with imprisonment.
• Millions risk their health by consuming cannabis of uncontrolled and doubtful purity i.e. there is no quality control.
• No adequate research can be conducted on the therapeutic uses of natural cannabis. Seriously ill people are prohibited from a beneficial medicine.
• The Government receives no revenue. The ‘criminals’ make all the profits. Legal cannabis would mean that the profits are taxable.
• The industrial uses of cannabis are virtually ignored at the cost of environmental disaster. The world starves because the seed cannot be legally grown in most countries. We are exhausting fossil fuels and using dangerous radioactive materials to produce energy and run cars which could be done of the Eco-friendly cannabis plant. Factories pump chemicals such as dioxins into our land in order to produce paper from wood pulp; this could be stopped using cannabis instead of trees. The plant is quick-growing, which would help to counteract the Greenhouse Effect. When cannabis biomass fuel is burned it releases only the carbon dioxide which it recently absorbed whilst growing, whereas the CO₂ release by burning fossil fuels (petrol, coal etc) was absorbed millions of years ago.
• People requiring a relaxant can only choose alcohol, which is far more dangerous than any amount of cannabis.
• The illegal cannabis market mixes it with the supply of hard drugs.
• The law invades people's privacy and prevents them from their pursuit of happiness, freedom of religious practice and freedom of lifestyle granted under the United Nations Human Rights Charter
