Will UK Drug Law Reform influence Australia?

Having met a number of the younger generation of politicians, they are just as bad as the previous, takes a special type of asshole to become a politician.

Being a politician is something thats in the back of my mind for alternative long term goals.

I got my uni course now to get that under my belt. But thinking of pursuing a career in politics afterwards, if bluelight has taught me one thing. I LOVE discussion ;)

Our country could use a bluelighter as prime minister.


I should also note: That getting into politics would be quite easy for me, as my sister is already someone who rights speeches for people in political power ;)

Unfortunately she is a feminist, christian, lesbian who hates drugs.
 
I think any change in drug laws that progress in Australia or at a global level will start with a rethink about the potential of medicinal cannabis. Already there are many indicators to support this as prohibition is crumbling and slowly falling apart under the weight of evidence that clearly illustrates the lunacy of this failed experiment. The great thing about cannabis is that as new emerging evidence about the medicinal value of pot comes to light the drug will be given an effective make over, particularly when you consider that we have an aging population and the biggest killer of this population is cancer. Previously individuals opposed to liberalising law reform around cannabis may be put into a situation where cannabis may help to alleviate the associated problems of their insidious condition. When faced with sticking to antiquated beliefs about refer madness etc and being offered a potential medicine to help in one’s suffering, people’s perceptions ideally will change.

Due to the fact that cannabis is always related to some bizarre gateway theory I’m proposing my own. Therefore I propose that cancer is a gateway condition to the drug cannabis.
 
Yes I think i would spearhead the Bluelight Parties political motion for drug law reform, whilst telling all the old pricks in parliament how truly useless they are.

I really still do not understand why weed is looked upon as the first thing we need to legalize? Because it's so widely used? Because there are more addicts than other substances? What is it? It's medicinal effects aren't beneficial to EVERYONE, making sure it is not a viable cure-all over opioid based treatments for cancer pain.

The first, and most important drugs I believe we need to see law reform with are those which would criple the black market. Heroin and MDMA. Heroin mainly for addiction treatment, and MDMA for partygoers who would otherwise be comitting a crime for simply 'having fun'.

thestudent: 'feminist, christian, lesbian'... can you see where the funny bit of all that is?
 
The sooner this stuff is regulated in some way the better IMO.

For many cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, cannabis is among the best, if not the best treatment for nausea. Cannabis has qualities that can help some sufferers of chronic pain, and several I've known who've used it for this reason found they medicate less with opiate/opioid based medications if they have cannabis. As for the the black market; cannabis growers are undoubtedly amongst the largest group of tax evaders/money launderers around. Larger outdoor operators can also damage national parks/ state land through clearing and/or chems and equipment left behind. I say, give these people a chance to become legit and make an honest living, and tax their product for the good of all Australians.
 
I don't think any sort of drug reform will happen whilst David Cameron is in power, even with Nick Clegg by his side. :\
