Done. I encourage everyone who cares about this issue to do so - as mentioned above, it's free so there's really no reason not to!
from a Pr/advertising standpoint the website is a disappointment.
Honestly although I support the initiative down to my bones and feel like we are eventually destined to cast off this prohibition style of law enforcement, I am not yet comfortable enough to talk aloud about this subject in my wider community and spread the word.
I do actually believe that here are some good lessons from prohibition which are hard to fully appreciate. I can certainly appreciate that there were times in my younger life when I was so self destructive and in need of escapism, that I needed NO access to coke/heroin, or I would have ended up on some weird Farm. During that stage I would have obliterated any amount of seriously hard drugs which i could get my hands on. This didnt end up happening, however bottom line is that I can see how freer access to drugs (post prohibition) would increase the instances of them being misused for harm instead of utilized as tools.
Now this is just me and some people could have no doubt handled their shit better. But im still glad for being cut off back then. everybody here knows "fools", and you know they will do foolish things no matter what...
obviously anti-prohibitionists on the whole are not in favor of just having everything available at milkbars.
but these substances were only prohibited because they have some true potential for danger, and there needs to be at least some control over certain drugs.
These new RC drugs popping up recently simply have the Govt spinning, they dont know what to do - so these new substances get banned and put in the big pile with the rest of the similar "drugs". there is no easy "some control" option for the government to impliment so as we all know, everything new just gets banned outright.
I think ultimately we need need to suggest some new framework for these drug laws before shooting down the current ones.
Check out Portugal as a real world case-study and see what happened.bottom line is that I can see how freer access to drugs (post prohibition) would increase the instances of them being misused for harm instead of utilized as tools.
That's not a fact. Many drugs were initially banned because of hysteria, ignorance and political plays, not because of evidence suggesting that they were dangerous.but these substances were only prohibited because they have some true potential for danger
This party is addressing problems, which is admirable, but not providing solutions, as far as I can see.
@mooms, @Tronica Thanks for the info, as someone who has voted for years I still really don't have much of a clue about it all, these comments will probably influence the way I vote come sept.
