If
you don't like Cannabis, why don't
you try and refute the facts first.

"There is no single measure
which governments could take, capable of introducing greater benefits
to mankind, in so many ways, than full re-legalisation of Cannabis."
Cannabis as NOT a
Drug or
Psychologically Dependence-Producing
According to the South
African Drugs and
Drug Trafficking Act No. 140 of 1992, Cannabis (dagga), the whole plant
or any portion thereof, except dronabinol
[(-)-transdelta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol] is currently classed as an
Undesirable Dependence-Producing Substance.
" undesirable dependence-producing substance"
means any substance or any plant from which a substance can be
manufactured included in Part III of Schedule 2.
" drug"
means any dependence-producing substance, any dangerous dependence-
producing substance or any undesirable dependence-producing substance;
Read that description very carefully. In order for cannabis to be a
'DRUG', the Government must prove that Cannabis is
a) Undesirable –
i.e. no positive and
many negative qualities.
b) Dependence producing
– i.e. the
compounds of the Natural Cannabis plant must INDUCE or
produce
the dependence. Cannabis must be the cause of the dependence.
Psychological’ dependence, so-called, on any non-addictive
substance, is the manifestation of an individual’s
pre-existing
psychological derangement. Cannabis therefore, does not produce
dependence.
How can a plant that is non-toxic, non-addictive, can do no harm or
maltreat the ingestor in any way, while simultaneously providing
medically proven benefits be considered
‘undesirable’?
It is illogical to the point of absurdity to ban any harmless pleasant
substance from the whole population because a few deranged individuals
are compelled to its overuse.

THC is NOT Cannabis
To equate the findings
of research into a
laboratory synthesized or isolated and concentrated compound such as
cannabidiolic acid (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with the entire
plant's naturally occurring and numerous elements all combined, is
erroneous, misleading and technically impertinent. Such findings and
related ‘speculations’ are inadmissible. Tests
conducted
with high doses of 95% pure concentrates of the completely unnatural
lab-THC, are only admissible as data relevant to that
substance…
the lab-THC.
In conclusion, that Cannabis is harmless cannot be 'half-stated'. To
recommend legalisation without controls, of any substance which is
dangerous would be inappropriate and invite censure. In re cannabis,
where not only accepted safety but also benefits from use are
confirmed, it is necessary to state unambiguously its safe nature and
expose the claims to the contrary, wherever and whenever they appear,
for the chicanery and tergiversation that they are. The basis of any
statement must refer to and be founded, not on conjecture, but on the
Evidence of empirical investigations into people's
actual use of the
herb.
Cannabis Sativa Hemp Cannot Be Patented; and It Can Be Cultivated
Easily Everywhere.

Use is NOT Abuse
The
use of a substance is not
of itself abuse; in the physical reality and by definition, to show
abuse requires that the use of a substance maltreats the user in some
way. Cannabis is not only safe, but is actually beneficial.
Its kind of like claiming someone is praying to much.
Prohibitionists have made it difficult for the non-specialist to
appreciate that any 'recreational' substance exists which can be
entirely without harmful effect, yet this is the definitive
categorisation within which Cannabis correctly fits. |
Cannabis is NOT an
'INTOXICANT'
It is not only technically incorrect but also thoroughly misleading to
apply the word "intoxicant" to describe Cannabis. Intoxicant and
toxicity, self-evidently, are not unrelated words. Toxic is derived
from toxikon, Greek for arrow-poison. Toxicology is the Science of
Poisons.
As there is no toxic amount for Cannabis, making it a
non-poisonous substance. The mild and stress-relieving beneficial
effects of Cannabis produce no interference in psychological attributes
of character and personality. This is most unlike and should not be
confused with toxic effects and results of alcohol use. |
