Barnett goes nuts, decides to start new "War on Drugs"

[Aurora2020]

What a total moron!

[Dags Gone Wild]

keep voting for fascist right-wing dictators and this is the end result ..

 

nuff said

 

Sadly, in SA those fascists happen to belong to the ALP, being ably dog-whistled by Independent MLA and notorious prohibition campaigner Ann Bressington.

 

I'm not at all surprised that this prize ding-bat is the secret sponsor of the tour by climate-change denier and all-round flaccid appendage "Lord" Monckton:

And the Greens have so far been willing to abandon any decriminalisation policy, in case it costs them votes - bloody opportunistic sycophants, although with our state Labor government, the Greens are the only alternative I've been willing to vote for anyway.

G'day Troops.

 

Barnett is there because SOMEBODY voted him in. He didn't just walk in and say "I'm the Premier". But that doesn't mean he is anything short of a prick, with or without his title. If you get pinched, say nothing except name and date of birth, nothing else, except LAWYER. Then as the other members say, plead not guilty, make the maggots prove it. Something needs to be done about him and his ilk. They are destroying this country in every way imaginable, the greed head fucks. Where ever they can scam a dollar, thats where you will find them, and they outlaw prostitution, when they are the biggest whores on the fucking planet, they would sell their souls. As was said all this raft of laws will do is jam the courts solid, and overcrowd the overcrowded jails. Who was keen on revolution? A very appealing idea, in many ways. I detest these bastards. No guitars for these turd fondlers.

the gov winge bout unemployed people rate going up ect yet how many people are going to have no jobs after the new laws are in place bong shops will be closing down so all those peeps wont have any jobs. i remember last year when it was dry as after christmas the prices for a oz was 400 to 450 for crap bud i just hope these laws dont make the prices rise times like that im very glad i grow my own.

Barnett keeps pushing WA backwards. He's pretty good at it. Although I have to wonder how much of the decisions were actually made by his government and how many were influenced by lobbyists like the mining industry. Whoever pumps the most money into the state holds the real power, not this sham government.

 

I remember a few weeks back they were talking about raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21. That proposal disappeared FAST. HMMMMM.

He did a Q&A on the Perthnow website today. I clipped the 2 questions about cannabis and another about gay marriage to show just how backwards he is.

The government serves us, not the other way around.

 

When will Australian's wake up and realise this and start demanding our power back?

 

WE should be the ones calling the elections when we're not happy!

LMAO at the brewing industry giving up beer sales for 18-20 year olds.

 

Barnett: "You say Abe Lincoln was a 'backwoodsman'? Well, I say backwoodsman, backwards man, same difference."

Hi Mr Barnett, I would like you to explain the rational for these new cannabis laws pushed through on 1/8/2011.

To would like to start with your responses to questions published on the Perth now website 26/07/2011, when asked... there is overwhelming evidence that alcohol is increasingly more harmful personally and socially. Why does it remain legal over marijuana, a drug no one has ever king hit anyone in Northbridge and while exclusively under the influence of cannabis? Your reply was and I quote "I acknowledge the harmful effects of excessive drinking, but that doesn’t constitute an augment for going soft on drugs" end quote.

Where is your evidence to back that statement? Surely the harmful effects of drinking are well documented and well known and you have even acknowledged that fact but where is the evidence that marijuana is harmful?

There is a growing trend in Perth with the construction and distribution of Meths, labs popping up everywhere and even family members of prominent police officers are profiting off it and are getting into manufacturing of it (surprisingly we Perth people didn’t hear much on the sentencing of that chap did we) surely your efforts should be directed towards this.

all the new research is proving the opposite, it is even proven by laboratory tests completed in 1975 that it is an anti-cancer agent see Antineoplastic activity of Cannabinoids A.E. Munson, L.S. Harris, M.A. Friedman, W.L. Dewey, and R.A. Carchman Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 55, No. 3, September 1975 Supported by Public Health Service grant DA00490 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Health Services & Mental Health Administration; by a grant from the Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust Fund; and by an institutional grant from the American Cancer Society. Department of Pharmacology and the MCV/VCU Cancer Centre, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University. Richmond, Va. 23298

Also, the fact that marijuana does not cause lung cancer but actually fights it,

See http://letstalkaboutpot.com/SmokePot/smoke-pot-lung-cancer/#comment-324

Also the benefit of marijuana for other diseases of modern man

See http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/68/2/339.full

There is overwhelming proof that marijuana, or the Cannabinoids found in it are found naturally inside every vertebrae organism and is used by our bodies as a natural anti-tumour anti-disease agent, DuPont even went to the trouble of isolating the active compounds found in marijuana and re-creating them in laboratories, primarily to offer a safe alternative to smoking pot, now being tested as the new wonder drug for fighting cancer. These are the Am-2202 etc and the Jwh-018 etc compounds, again something you have banned as unsafe? Where did you get that from?

I think a company like DuPont is in a better position to judge the safety of their chemicals compared to you and your mining political sponsoring mates what the ban is really about isn’t it?

It is widely reported that your justification is because “we don’t really know what the long term effect of cannabis or JWH... use will be, only over 10000 years of using cannabis with no deaths or long term impairment. Yes the old schizophrenia excuse come out from time to time although there has been a 30 fold increase in marijuana smoking in the last 50 odd years but no increase in the cases of schizophrenia originally at approximately 1.1% of the population and currently at 1.1% of the population.

What about the long term effects of chemotherapy? So you’re saying you do know the long term effects by condoning its medical use... please enlighten us all. Yet you pump that into our kids and family and pump morphine into them and anything else on the medical list. How is it that morphine the most addictive and damaging drug known, is allowed for medical use where Cannabinoids are not?

Why won’t you allow at the very least people sent home to die by their oncologist from incurable cancer access to cannabis. Have you had someone close to you die from cancer? I have and they should not of died but for access to Cannabinoids as it at the least would of made the chemotherapy tolerable by reducing the nausea therefore getting the treatment and therefore possibly surviving.

I along with a growing group of sane hardworking taxpayers and voters will be seriously campaigning against your local member and yourselves @ the next election. I will be signing petitions to get marijuana on the medical lists and you removed from office. I am making everyone I know aware of the benefits of cannabis and the injustice done to the West Australian people.

Your time is limited

You forgot to ask Mr Barnett to ban alcohol and tobacco.

You've made a great case for banning these drugs but you didn't push that point enough !

However your chances of that are slightly less than for legalising your drug.

Why would any State Premiere legalise a substance that involves breathing in large quantities of smoke into one's lungs??

They've almost banned "ordinary" smoking. Cannabis or any other inhaled drug does not stand a chance.

We must live with that and concentrate on enjoying our cannabis in private and learn how to both grow and smoke peacefully and, worse luck, mostly privately.
