Drugs, Media and the Law itself-
Written By Matthew Peter Ballard aka bear.

Scratching the very difficult topic to resolve in this country, the BBC controls the very essence of the media itself. Issues concerning cannabis-Sativa have arisen greatly into formal debates across the country itself, proving to be a dangerous recreational drug. The Tories state that soft police have been nudged from the streets and dealers have taken their places. Consequentially, statistics have risen that minors have been abusing hardcore drugs such as cocaine and as many of you know the cocaine industry is destroying other countries such as Columbia. Proving to this fact, the recent star Kate Moss has been condemned by Colombian Vice President his statement as follows:

“To me it's baffling, that somebody who helps cause so much pain in Colombia is doing better than ever and winning more contracts than ever. I never once heard her say.'I'm sorry'. When in Columbia policemen, judges, journalists, common men and women are dying everyday because of [cocaine consumption] that hurts.” – Columbian Vice president statement relating to Kate Moss.

The president himself stresses over the very seriousness of this topic, widespread of drugs and the effect that it has on his own people:

"Every gram of cocaine snorted is a line tainted in blood. Every line they inhale has blood behind it.” – This small quotation I have taken from his statement installs guilt and warning to cocaine users. He clearly states in imagry that every line of cocaine you intake into your system is affecting lives acrossed the world but emphasising columbia in particular.

Evidentally, drugs themselves are creating widespread problems. I myself have never heard Cannabis having an important consequence being played in any country. Some may say Cannabis itself is a gateway drug, a drug that opens doors to other drugs. But I can very much reasure you its not. Its just people themselves giving in to other drugs which are evidentally more dangerous to them just because they feel the need to do it themselves. That is their choice however, not due to the cannabis itself. I have read statements that the affects of cannabis bored users and so they looked for a higher feeling… unfortunatly these feelings can reside in heroin, crack, acid and many other drugs. Consequntially Cannabis has been portayed as a stepping stone to a downward spiral in the media and is being educated to children of all ages. But what the media doesn’t realise and researches into is the very benefits of the substance itself that could help medicinally and not for recreational use.

The substance helps with artheritus and etc. Nausea, sleep depravation and pain. I myslef like to call it the natural paracetamol also controlls moods and relaxes the user for an ammount of time. Unlike hardcore drugs that absolutley have no benefits atall stringing behind them Cannabis is the exception but still made illegal in some countries.

The government state that cannabis will never be legal but if they decide to legalize it in neer future crime will be cut down by a large ammount due to it would be a very huge hit on funding for their own operations. Drug dealers will not make as much money and Consequentially they will put tax on it to obviously make money from it for their own uses. Although in argument to this statement I have just made I believe Cannabis should be illegal in some cases, It has evidence relating to the source of the media that it causes mental health issues such as Skitzophrenia and etc. If the user is suseptable to it.

In conclusion to this article Drugs as a whole should be treated under circumstances instead of black and white law. Example, If I smoke cannabis in a public place were other people are affected by it then morally that is wrong, in my view. But if I am smoking it in an area were not a lot of people venture or my own property then I believe it is ok and should be legal. Cannabis being used medicinally by artheritus sufferers and people who are affected by MS are seen in black and white in the eyes of the law. Recent cases of people selling cannabis on the internet and shipping it to these sufferers in the uk and being taken to court and also the buyers are being prosectuted unfairly. Patients who suffer from such should be given a suitable remedy to help tackle their own pain, and the government of this country are jailing such people and worsening their suffering. If it were a dealer selling it to minors then that would be fair to imprison such people due to their uncomforming morality to the majourity. Consequently resulting in further descussion in debates hopefully to legalize the drug, cannabis.

If they make it legal it's not going to be for any reason other than....




you guessed it.

Big frickin bucks! $$

[Dr. Greenthumb]

Unfortunately that's the reason for everything major that goes on in the world.

as they say and which is very true: 'money makes the world go round...'. It does in one respect but what is money anyway? a piece of paper, a little bit of shiny lump with some pig fuckers face on it... i dont see the point in such.

[Dakine]

Its fidutiary, what the paper represents, not what it's made of.

yeah in my case, an old hag (the queen of england) saying im allowed a certain allowance... its pathetic. What human in their right mind would hoard something over another, i dont see how that old woman could possess so much power. I dont believe its because people want her there, yes in one respect. But how come to say, she is more important than I? How can she have all that 'money'? Pondering on this subject and cant find any resolution.. may somebody shine some light upon this subject?
