law.
We believe that the prohibition of cannabis is against the public
interest.
We believe that the prohibition of cannabis contravenes Human Rights.
We believe that the prohibition of cannabis inhibits the use of a
beneficial resource.
We believe that the legalisation of cannabis is a very important step

international level.
To secure the release of all prisoners convicted only of cannabis

products be free from prosecution.

where the use of cannabis is permitted.
