The prohibition of cannabis and the use of synthetic alternatives are
responsible for many of today's problems, including the drug problem, alienation
of huge populations, prison overcrowding, pollution, unemployment and
suffering.
Cannabis is more than a recreational substance. It is a source of
medicine, fuel, food, building materials, plastic, paper and much, much more.
Cannabis-derived fuels and oils can replace every type of fossil fuel energy
product cheaply and cleanly.
Legalising cannabis means an influx of revenue for schools and the NHS
with the police freed to chase real criminals.
More prohibition means arresting and embittering thousands of citizens,
sending them to prison and destroying families.
The earth really is dying and while cannabis remains illegal so does the
world's most valuable resource.
