PRINCIPLESWe believe the use of cannabis ought to be a matter of choice and not of law. We believe that the prohibition of cannabis is against the public interest. We believe that the prohibition of cannabis contravenes Human Rights. We believe that the prohibition of cannabis inhibits the use of a beneficial resource. We believe that the legalisation of cannabis is a very important step that should be taken to benefit the people and their environment.
AIMSTo hasten the full legalisation and utilisation of the cannabis plant for the good of the peoples of this world, on a local, national and international level. To secure the release of all prisoners convicted only of cannabis offences and to ensure that all criminal records for cannabis offences are expunged. To encourage public and private research into the many beneficial uses of cannabis including industrial, social and medical uses for the good of the people. To halt all criminal prosecutions for the use of cannabis as a social or private relaxant including its uses as a sacrament or in religious or other ritual. To provide a voice for those in society persecuted and prosecuted for cannabis activities which victimise none.PROPOSALSThat cannabis and cannabis products should be removed from the UK Misuse of Drugs Act, thereby being legalised. That the possession, cultivation and use of pure cannabis and cannabis products be free from prosecution. That cannabis be re-introduced into our society. That high priority be given to the cultivation of cannabis for the express purpose of the localised production of virtually cost-free fuels through the process of pyrolysis on cannabis biomass, and as a source of fibre and hurd. That provision be made to enable the setting up of public establishments where the use of cannabis is permitted. That provision be made to enable the setting up of outlets for the legal supply of cannabis. That at least the same level of protection be given to the cannabis consumer as is given to the consumers of other commodities: weights and measures, quality etc. That all prisoners presently held only on cannabis convictions or charges be released from custody without delay and that all criminal records for cannabis offences be expunged. RESULTS ANTICIPATED FROM PUTTING OUR PROPOSALS INTO EFFECT.Decrease in general crime rate. Easing of the drugs problem. Increase in police and court resources to fight serious crime. Increase in government revenue through taxation on profits. Increase in public and social well-being, spirit, health and happiness. Decrease in pollution. Decrease in the price of fuel, energy and power for our homes, businesses, factories etc. Decrease in unemployment. Please click above link for more information!

Total endorsement of your aims (nearly)
 I am about to introduce a proposal for the Students Union at Goldsmiths College, University of London to support all action toward the decriminalisation of cannabis. Hence, I am really glad that there are others that feel the same way and are prepared to vocalise support- congratulations. I really feel that there is an element of popular momentum that might one day give rights to users of a harmless drug.However, as a user myself, I feel that it is crucial to define between decriminalisation and legalisation. To legalise it would be to give power and authority to the government in terms of production and supply. This would be awful- like putting our heads in a vice. All that is required is decriminalisation so that no more innocent people are needlessly incarcerated. Good luck, I hope to see more of you.

Congrats on an exellent website! For some time now I have been campagining on a personal level (i.e. bitching about it and generally challenging opinions) but, despite the fact I try to accumulate as much knowledge as I can about it, I know very little about the uses of cannabis as fuel. I would like to know about finacial cost, efficiency and other information relating to it for use in explaining about the reasons for it's illegalisation, if you know what I mean. Thankyou ve
