Doctors demand tougher drug laws

[Guest niall]

I agree, for any difference to be made in this election it has to be NOW.

 

Niall, I'll put my hand up for leaflet passing out at a corner somewhere any weekend or wednesday you like.   And I'll be happy to drop by JV's and put in some "how to vote for cannabis laws which make sense" if you like, I can run some up on the pc this weekend.

Yeah I think JVs is a good start, I'm not sure about leaflets myself - I find them really irritating and most people seem to throw them away or ignore the people giving them out. I think, at this early stage and with a limited budget, we need to target ourselves very carefully - get the largest exposure for the least cost possible. LTEs and talkback radio (720AM in Perth is ABC, Liam is on at 9am weekdays I think - I don't have a portable AM radio so I've never actually caught his show and had a chance to call in) are two of the best ways to get our message out there.

 

However, our goal at this late stage is simply to keep the Coalition out of power. The Greens and Labor have dealt with the cannabis issue sensibly and I think they deserve our support, so we could focus our efforts on helping the Greens and Labor get more votes. I'm planning to help out the Greens on election day. The West is covering the election closely in their LTE section, so even writing a letter that has nothing to do with cannabis but points out how terrible the Liberals would be is just as good - no-one will know you're a stoner. I'll try to get another letter in if I can, but I think that's all they'll let me say on the subject this time around.

I'll work on an LTE this evening. I would call on others to do the same if you can, it's important to show that cannabis is not the demon they put us up to be.
