More people take cannabis than regularly go to church. God bless them. At least two thirds of all British voters under 25 take cannabis. There are thousands of British doctors who have no problems prescribing cannabis.There are thousands of unfortunate souls whose suffering is relieved by cannabis.There are thousands of British policemen who want to help kids, not bust them. There are hundreds of British policemen who want to help kids, not bust them.There are hundreds of British judges who can't bear the ethical conflict they face when sentencing cannabis users. There are millions of British parents who can no longer stand their kids being criminalised, stigmatised, and ruined for life.There are millions of kids who wished they didn't have to lie.A pity this government doesn't feel the same.This government callously allows youth to be alienated, poisoned, imprisoned, and ruined. This government stupidly forces itself to lie and arrogantly disapproves of the recreational pursuits of millions of really good people. This government has deaf ears, blind eyes, an unthinking brain, and an unfeeling heart. This government is offensive.What does this government suggest?What new wonderful initiatives, innovations, and wisdom does it care to bestow?Prohibition and zero tolerance.http://www.schmoo.co.uk/london#Anchorhm Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Comment #13 posted by Smoker on July 11, 2001 at 06:27:54 PT Bible Genesis 1:12"I have given you all the seed bearing plant's and herb's to you" [ Post Comment ] Comment #12 posted by Peter Allan on July 11, 2001 at 05:39:10 PT cannabis FREE THE WEED!

I believe that smokin' weed is an essential part of life. unless you don't want to do it. in which case, i don't mind. why is it that drinking is tolerated although it causes violence, loss of life, alcoholism and family break up, yet i can smoke a spliff of the class "b for bunk" weed we get here and be arrested? Weird eh?p.s Mr Marks, i got an ounce of the widow back from the dam wrapped in film in my suitcase and because my luggage was lost, whilst sat at home with my mates, i got my suitcase delivered to my front door complete with ounce by the airport courier. nice eh?

[ Post Comment ] Comment #2 posted by Bob Melamede on May 23, 1999 at 11:40:45 PT: LIFE LIBERTY and the pursuit of HAPPINESS I do not know if you are "the" Howard Marks. If you are congratulations on your physical and spiritual freedom. Sadly so many others are trapped in mental and physical prisons. I work every day to try and free my friend Billy Greer (he knows you) from his physical one. I think the global tide has turned. We must increase our efforts to prevent a roll back in the progress that has been made. Unward and upward.
