The Coalition advocates abolishing socially and medically damaging prohibitionist laws immediately, but can not, and do not, advocate any act which contravenes any law in any place that has laws, however reasonable that act may be. We particularly warn those living under especially repressive regimes where sentences of life or even death can be passed simply for the possession of cannabis.
