Cannabis smokers at risk of stupid government disease
Here's just another trojan horse on cannabis, politicised for your
consumption... now it causes brittle bone disease... For SOME persons
who smoke some amounts they can't control, smoking "something" the
researchers can't control either... what political claptrap pretending
to be science.

http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/story.jsp?story=640678

After every one of these unscientific studies, comes the repeat drum of
the hardliners to re-criminalize 5 million UK cannabis smokers and
throw them in prison.... hipocrates.

Let's take a look at alcohol related disease and perhaps we should
make alcohol a class A drug for causing liver damage, and death...
Its got nothing to do with the drug, rather they're just a bunch of
bully's masquerading as "reasonable" planning a back door assault on
cannabis smokers before "we" get political franchise and are able to
defend ourselves.

What kind of scientist can claim to make any accurate study when they
have no idea of the exact chemicals being ingested, the mixture of
chemicals someone takes, the frequency over years of such things and
then.... to produce conclusive horseshit like this.

It is quite simple. Legallize it and regulate it so you know what
your citizens are taking, and you can tune the drug's legal quantities
so they are less damaging. Any pot smoker out there can tell you
that there is a WIDE array of different weeds, not just "cannabis"
as the newspapers would have you know... and as well, poeple smoke
it with tobacco in many cases, making much of the studies very skewed.

Its about time somebody in government was willing to step forward
from the litany of lies and tell the truth, to bugger off the backs
of the cannabis smoker, stop with the criminalization and focus on
your own bloody liars and warmongers in government.... criminal
liars have killed thousands with your ugly wars, and you want to
blame and make war on cannabis smokers because you government tossers
are a load of hateful yobs who can't get real jobs... so, Hey, lets
go beat up some cannabis smokers and fuck them over... god help
us from the torys like david davis who repeats this stuff like
mantra... bozos... the load of them.

1. got one for you ! Spy vs. Spy
By Bill Piper, AlterNet. Posted May 18, 2005.
Proposed legislation would compel people to spy on their family members and neighbors, forcing all Americans to become foot soldiers in the war on drugs.
Neighbors spying on neighbors? Mothers forced to turn in their sons or daughters? These are images straight out of George Orwell's 1984, or a remote totalitarian state. We don't associate them with the land of the free and the home of the brave, but that doesn't mean they couldn't happen here. A senior congressman, James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), is working quietly but efficiently to turn the entire United States population into informants--by force.

Sensenbrenner, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman, has introduced legislation
snip---
Here are some examples of offenses you would have to report to police within 24 hours:


You find out that your brother, who has children, recently bought a small amount of marijuana to share with his wife;
You discover that your son gave his college roommate a marijuana joint;
You learn that your daughter asked her boyfriend to find her some drugs, even though they're both in treatment.

In each of these cases you would have to report the relative to the police within 24 hours. Taking time to talk to your relative about treatment instead of calling the police immediately could land you in jail.

In addition to turning family member against family member, the legislation could also put many Americans in danger by forcing them to go undercover to gain evidence against strangers.

2. Yep, Bliar says that
declassifying cannabis was the "right thing" to go but that, on reflection, it was "too soon". What the fuck does that mean?! Too soon for what? To please Daily Mail readers, as they splutter into their gin and tonics with righteous indignation??

3. Other important drugs require Bliar's immediate attention.!!
It has been found that sugar can lead to death in some persons, who
experience intestinal tearing when large sugar crystals are rectally
ingested. Researchers agree, that sugar is a dangerous drug and should
only be produced or distributed by a license from the home office.
Otherwise, all persons with sugar crystals are now to be seen as
criminals with selling sugar deemed an offense to distibute a class "B"
drug.

All mushrooms are to be similarly classified, as some persons have been
found to die when eating some mushrooms... so therefore all mushrooms
need to be reclassified as class !A! drugs, with the sale and picking
punishable by death and long term incarceration.

All Motor oil, Antifreeze and grease has also been found to cause death
in some persons when ingested in large quantities. Therefore, it is
immediately important that more studies be done to make sure that motor
oil sellers are not class B drugs distributors.

And on and on and on.... Asbestos causes death lets criminalize it.
Common cement causes death when inhaled too much by some persons, so it
needs to be reclassified as a class A drug. The absurdity of the
government's attack on some persons using bogus research is just not
clear enough, so more research is necessary.

Peanuts are definitely up there for a class "A" drugs rating given
their propensity to cause severe illness in suseptible persons...

The government should start studying every seed and leaf, every
single chemical in life to make sure that when stuffed up ones bum
that it won't cause death. 'Cuz goddammit, if it does not appear
they've got their focus on stupid things... so they need some help.

With a little work, they should be able to criminalize every person
in the UK in short order so they can arrest and imprison persons
and destroy their lives... as that is the true purpose of government
in the eyes of the ruling classes... to break people, to keep the
options open on destroying them and then pretending it has something
to do with science.!
