If you cannot buy or sell weed how can you possess it unless its supplied by prescription or if the seed trade is legalized?

 

Legalization is the only way to go!

 

NB. its good for the working class at the moment - no conviction recorded but prohibition is still in effect.

Yep, today's the day, small amounts now mean an on the spot fine or an educational order at the LEO's discretion.

Yeah decriminalisation is just a loophole for the greedy scum. To grow their 2 Big monsters yielding a few pound and fuck it back up for the rest of us.

 

The only people the laws are really helping IMO, is the customers and the growers/dealers, personal growers sit in a shit position still.

 

Cant even grow a fucking pack of seeds without getting in more shit than the commercial scum with 2 monsters under 10000w and then not even smoke it, not flush it to increase yield and resin, fill em with bullshit chemicals nobody really needs to smoke.

 

A few mouldy buds can fuck the whole stash.

 

The world will never wake up, if cannabis is ever legalised it will be soley as a profit thing so the government can pull billions of tax dollars, no government will ever pay attention to the preservation of this beautiful species before greedy scum corrupt its genepool even more.

 

Its all just about profit on one end and getting high on the other, noone actually cares about this beautiful plant and its survival. I hope if cannabis ever was legalised we didnt go the way of the dutch. We need government funded cannabis preservation funds, As technology comes along cannabis is even more threatened, all female seeds, genetic modification, and breeders all about dollars releasing only F1's and backcorssed lines, not bothering to stabilise.

 

The greed of humans is killing cannabis off, and rather quickly, who just wants to smoke the same pack of northern lights extra mild every day??? people need to think of the preservation of cannabis first, and their own lungs and freedom second. We cant just let people go around supporting legalisation, and legal commercialisation of cannabis without informing people of the risks commercialising this beautiful plant.

 

I personally am in great fear of what happens when Monsanto and Rothmans join forces to sell their super potent 50% THC genetically modified joints, of course the average smoker will choose that over real homegrown bush bud. Only alternative hippy wannabes who hate GM stuff and those who care about the cannabis genepool will not smoke and grow the GM ciggarettes and feminised seeds. Feminised seeds are a creation of the devil himself.

 

IMO people are not ready for legalisation, they are not aware of the full consequences.

 

People seem happy to venture into legal cannabis without a thought.

 

obviously cannabis being illegal makes it hard for cannabis to survive as well, but legalalisation may present an even worse problem unless people pay attention to it.

Actually I think it's at *our* discretion, you cop a fine and you can either pay it or attend a "cannabis education" session.

 

Hell, I want to go to one of these sessions anyway - see what they're about, see if they're providing accurate and factual information.

dont count on it. They have actually allready been doin this for ages. When i was in school i had to go to one of these things and its total crap. What they talk about is mainly drug abuse problems relating to 'drugs' not herb. Trust me people there has been no change in the law at all. Cops gave out cautions for small amounts before anyway, and did you ever hear of people being charged for 2 plants. its just a tecnicality to make it seem like there is some progress in mj laws but it is exactly the same.

[RaZoR_2004]

its 2 plants AND upto 30 Grams

[Guest Wilderbud]

its 2 plants AND  upto 30 Grams

Crazy figures.

Indeed WB, do or do not....

 

I think we'll also find that the penalties for non-expiable amounts have been increased. So it's mostly a psychological, rather than a true legal difference.

 

We had the discussion about the ridiculousness of the limits a while back, when niall first joined here.... There is no reason why we can't use this as the springboard for sanity tho.

 

Perhaps we should be encouraging the Gallop gov to push through it's medicinal use legislation before the next election? I'm fairly sure that compassion to the sick is a vote winner, provided it's done right of course. Colin Barnett being the opposition makes it much easier too.

I still think that decriminalisation is a positive step as it reduces the demonification of dope users by the wider community.

They get to see that it is not an isidious drug that will turn their neighbour into an axe weilding maniac.

Small steps, but steps just the same.
