This is for medical use as I have MS. Although I always speak up in defence of recreational users I only have the strength to campaign for medical use.

Just keep speaking the truth!

Would you like a free copy of my "Granny Storm Crow's list"? Might give you some more ideas! Email me at i.wantgrannyslist(at)greenpassion.org It's about 150 pages of links to MMJ studies and articles.

Thanks but the more info I put in my head at this stage the more chance my brain has of stumbling over facts.

Right now I'm considering possible questions and how I will answer them. I have some good responses already. This is today's consideration.

Question: some people seem to be badly effected by cannabis use?

Yes that's true a small percentage of people do suffer badly much like alcholics. They become canaholics if you like. Prohibition does nothing to prevent this. Whatever the law, they would seek canabis out. In fact prohibition causes maximum damage to these people as they are forced to deal with criminals and become stigmatised as criminals themselves which makes it difficult to get help and break the cycle of dependence.

I have developed filler too.

Many of us know that politicians don't change policy because it's right and good. They change them when they are set to earn political and financial collateral.

Debra Bell Variant

We've had 40 years of this particular level of prohibition. Debra Bell will have a shock when politicians suddenly change their minds. Her wisdom (polite word for hysteria - the public will get this) will be invaluable after a change in the laws. Her concern will have a greater role.

------
Being critical of another person's suffering is generally frowned upon. It gets you nowhere in polite media. This is where I use my ever growing skill of SPIN. Let's face it, the Middle Class will solve this problem. Working class folks exist with a mantra for the most part. "It's somebody else's job" and they are right. Using the BBC as my conduit, I will attempt to get through to them. Promise! Commercial TV is like cheap street theater and virtually useless to the cause until there is a big swing in public opinion.
