UK Comments on the Web
Reading Chronicle Thursday 23 Aug 2012 MR F --- Cannabis is a medicine for millions of sick people across the globe, it is safer then both alcohol and tobacco with no direct deaths ever recorded while alcohol and tobacco DIRECTLY kill millions world wide every single year. The continued criminalisation of people who wish to consume cannabis for what ever purpose is wrong and we can come together to make a change. Please check out Berkshire Cannabis Community on Facebook for the latest updates www.facebook.com/berkscc . We're really excited to have Free Rob Cannabis, legendary cannabis activist speaking at out next meeting on the 12th of September at RISC. You can read about Free here, http://cannabisculture.com/articles/1528.html BERKSCC --- The very fact that Clark French is holding his reccommendation from a California doctor for raw cannabis completely blows away the lie that the UK government have persisted in telling to the British public by their saying that raw cannabis has no medicinal use. And why does this government continue with this lie? They do it in order to protect the monopoly for cannabis pharmaceutical medicine that they have given to GW Pharm. It's absolutely disgusting. The people of this country deserve better than the Reefer Madness lies that they continue to be told by our government. Legalise cannabis use in the UK JAYELLE FARMER --- MR F, I fail to see the Zombies and traffic accidents caused by current cannabis users, which would be millions across the UK. All I notice are the busts and arrests made by police at such a high rate it makes me wonder when they fit time in to go catch real criminals!! ANON JONES --- Here is the British Medical Journal's analysis of the harms of various drugs, puublished 24 July 2012. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/2/4/e000774.full PHIL S --- I'm glad to someone is talking about this openly. Cannabis saved my marriage and quite possibly my life. I was disgnosed with a joint condition nearly three years ago. Over these three years I have gone through several different painkillers and anti-inflamatory's and non of them have done anything to help with the swelling or burning pain in my legs. At their best they just gave me stomach problems, at their worst they made me paranoid and depressed, to the degree that it nearly destroyed the most important relationship in my life. Then I found cannabis oil. It stopped the pain and took the swelling away almost over night. I could walk without crutches and do normal everyday things without pain first time in two years. It also mellowed out my anxiety that I felt every time I had to leave the house in this condition. I cannot for the life of me understand why we are not utilising every part of this beautiful plant. Everyone should have the right for pain and chemical free life. JUPITER5 --- I have been using Cannabis for pain for over 20 years. I have learned to drive, passed my test first time and have driven over 265,000 miles since... some of it on the most remote and dangerous roads in the UK in atrocious weather conditions! In all my years of driving I have had 2 accidents in which no one was hurt and both were the fault of the other party... One was a lorry driver who was obviously falling asleep... the other had been drinking! Iam living breating proof that people who use Cannabis for pain are most certainly NOT a danger on the road. If I was able to take the prescription pain relief on offer from the NHS I most certainly would NOT be fit to drive, I have prolonged and unusual ractions to prescription meds. People on prescription meds are advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery if affected by that drug... so what's the problem with extending that smae trust to people on medicinal cannabis? VICKY --- ...MR.F obviously isn't aware that not all strains get you so stoned that you cannot function. People who think like this are always the ones who still have the "Reefer Madness" mentality from the last century when the propaganda started emerging in the 1930s. Thinking there's just one type is extremely ignorant. The whole schizophrenia thing really does my head in as it can be used to treat schizophrenia. IF in the rare cases it triggers some dormant underlying problem, then that wouldn't be the plant's fault. That person is obviously sensitive to it, much like a food intolerance. You don't ban all peanuts if someone dies from the effects of a peanut allergy do you? No. Cos that would be STUPID, much like cannabis' legal status today! TAMS [Full comment on our website] --- Good work Clark. WHover wrote that article though made a couple of mistakes. "Now back on Britain the 26-year old from Earley is campaigning for the illegal Class B drug to be decriminalised in this country" it's not an illegal drug, there is not such thing as an illegal drug. Only people's actions concerning so called "controlled" drugs are illegal. Nowhere does the law say cannabis is illegal. Cannabis can't be decriminalise either, again it is only people's actions that can be decriminalised. PHIL --- It is great Clark French's story will be told and shown on TV. More people need to be educated with the facts on cannabis namely Dr Ben Whalley and "Mr F". Too many people have a bised view of cannabis but is not their fault as most of the time they do not know any better. It can have a lot of great medicianal benefits from helping with MS to cancer or even back pain, I have dseen this first hand. Legalising cannabis for recreational purposes is also a good idea. I don't seen why people have such a problem with this considering the government allows you to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes while taxing you for it. Cannabis may be damaging to your helth via smoking but when eaten or vaporised is pretty harmless. Ti does not kill people like the 100000s killed by alcohol and cigarettes each year.
