if you could trust the political parties to be honest and follow through on their promises of legalisation they would get my vote every time but when the estimated 2 – 3 million cannabis smokers in the uk hide and deny their cannabis use they make this social group seem much smaller and therefore unimportant to the policy makers. if the census had of asked Q17. do you smoke weed? id bet there would be a lot of people who would deny it, so don’t be part of the problem and ‘come out’ as a cannabis smoker to your family, friends etc. 2 good reasons for this.
1. you will be surprised at how many of them smoke / have smoked weed.
2. with the issue of cannabis transparent and made real to people of all demographics who would realise that there is no dope smoking boogyman and these pot heads are people they know. this would lead to improved debate and ‘popular’ legislation is easier to attain.
