bakedcake Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Haha I like that, even saying we feel like we are not making a dent. Unfortunately the war on drugs was always destined to fail, the same as prohibition on alcohol failed. They will never win the war. Education is the greatest tool they can offer rather than to demonize the plant and people that use it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MongyMan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Police suspect most of this cash stays in Australia and is reinvested in other grow houses, importations of other drugs, such as ice, ecstasy and cocaine Police only suspect this is the case? Are they stupid or just blind? Maybe get your heads out of your arses then and see the REALITY...... Cannabis prohibition is the ONLY reason this situation exists. IT has created this huge illegal market and this situation in our country by handing billions of dollars of easy income over the decades to these gangs that is used to finance REAL crime. Continuing cannabis prohibition is only helping and perpetuating the problem. "Cannabis prohibition laws only cultivate organised crime" The Police used to blame the 'hippies' and call them the "criminal gangs" to justify prohibition. https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/65302-hippies-cash-in-on-joint-ventures/ Well good on you Australian Police because Australia has REAL gangs and crime syndicates making a killing from cannabis in the black market you have created to finance REAL crime now. It has me amazed your not hanging your heads in shame as you should be for being the main guilty party that has created this situation. Ps. importation of other drugs is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is being financed by criminal syndicates on the back of black market cannabis. The list in reality is almost endless from counterfeited bootlegged products through to sex slavery and more. All thanks to cannabis prohibition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MongyMan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 "One former senior Victorian police officer, who did not want to be named, told the ABC the syndicates have become gargantuan..." Too ashamed to be named? Well you should be for the part you have played in making this happen.......Maybe join LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and work to change this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedcake Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yeah it’s such a joke, however the governments are too stubborn and ignorant to change they still believe the stigma that it creates rapists and murderers.

WTF yea well they cant stop the growers and have failed miserably trying (cannabis growing has only increased exponentially since prohibition) so why not chase votes with more rhetoric and cliche catch cries like "get tough on drug users" and Ignore the fact that prohibition is the real problem here. The logic is clear as mud. Can only hope one day sanity will prevail and cannabis prohibition will end. Even then there will always be politicians trying to chase votes with fear mongering and 'getting tough' catch cries it's in their nature to ignore the reality and chase the votes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakedcake Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Wow! Fucking idiots. That’s so depressing to read apart from the Doctor saying that it does not do anything and that it seems to be a revenue generating plan. Reminds me of ciggys and how much they are taxed here too, yes they do far more damage yet they are legal and horrendously priced in Nz and Aussie like wtf. I have quit for a year now (woooh) however I don’t mind if people want to smoke. I didn’t only quit because I can’t justify $85 for a 50g pouch let alone tailor mades at $30 for a pack but for my own health. It is just a shady money making scheme which doesn’t actually help anyone and in more recent studies people who cannot afford it actually smoke more so the financial stress becomes greater as well as a huge rise in robberies relating to ciggerates. It annoys me in a way that the government says they make them illegal to protect you yet we will openly allow coke and shit food to be incredibly less expensive then that of healthy alternatives and then complain on the rising obesity rates and health problems that come with it. I’m going to stop now rattles me the way democracy works sometimes. It’s too fucking slow. J. Cole says it best - (song is brackets) If I'm givin' y'all this hard-earned bread, I wanna knowBetter yet, let me decide, bitch, it's 2018Let me pick the things I'm funding from an app on my screenBetter that than letting wack congressman I've never seenDictate where my money go, straight into the palms of someMoney-hungry company that make guns that circulate the country 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
