It's long overdue, but the biggest hurdle is clearing away the effects of decades of misinformation and blatant lies. To quote someone close to me after a particularly heated discussion on the topic of marijuana: "I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I just don't like it or want it around me".

yes you are right there is so much misinformation that it will take some time to reboot all that.. kinda makes my head hurt. Obama was interesting at 40:00

Just a thought........for non-canna people, it may be rather intimidating to hear about seed strains named with words such as crack, L.S.D, Armageddon, Brains Damage, deadhead, hell stone, ICE, Killer Queen, madness, mind bender, morphine blue, opium, peyote, psycho, Paralysis, stuporsonic, timewreck, violator, acid, etc., etc.,.......not much stereotype medical association there me thinks...........and after all it is factually the majority, the mainstream, who has to come round to regarding canna as medical AND recreationally acceptable, just like alchohol is.......I think sometimes that some canna folks are at times exuberantly shooting themselves in the foot with great accuracy........but that's just me

 

[Reedroguez]

Nope, you're totally right Corgy. They are
Names like that only scare people and only enforce all the ideas about weed being bad. Kinda hard to make someone believe you want to be a productive member of society when you smoke stuff named like that.

yup i have often wondered why breeders choose to name strains after what I call "life" ruining drugs just doesn't make since because cannabis does not ruin lives.. wile I feel like we are close we are a very long way from undoing the stigma over cannabis. IN American they say 58% want medical cannabis and more and more are growing their own meds. I ask other growers and breeders where do we go from here? have you guys thought of a legal business model to put in place after the laws have changed? I will say its best as of now to stay in the shadows until we get the government green light and we see the UK laws fall overnight. as a grower myself i ask myself were will i be in 5 years? ahh its just the sativa..

yeah its a bit nuts allright.here in the UK a number of footballers/celebs have recently been snapped taking hippy crack (no2 laughing gas or summit)some people slate them because 17 deaths have been recorded due to it,yet others say its not illegal so its no big deal.
while just yesterday 10,000 peeps smoked weed openely in hide park.but for some whacky reason 13 people were arrested and charged.weed is bad its wrong illegal and all that.and we all know how many deaths have been caused by the evil weed.
bout time are useless politicians discovered their brains,and put them to use.

I don't think we will see legal weed in the uK anytime soon.

Firstly, because of all the tings listed above and secondly we would have to live through the abolition of the house of Lords. It is my belief that our politcians of most denominations are puppets on the strings of the Lords. None of these men were voted into parliament by the electorate, and yet the Law Lords are thos who decide on the social "rules" by which we are then politically controlled.

As a patriot Scot I voted for independence, sadly for me and the rest of the "45" I was not be, considering what I said above, if the system wont be given its own Social contract by the people then It is one which maybe of no use to anyone
Maybe a Scotland on its own could be instrumental in legalization and allowing the fuddy duddies in Westminster see that they should have done the same a damned long time ago, FREE THE McWEED!!!!!!

i agree its gonna take some time possibly years clearing up all the misinformation and lies the government has told to people...! and whats mind blowing to me is this was straight up brain washing at its best.! i mean you got smart, well educated people believing all this bullshit the gov tells about weed... it just makes no logical since to me. and in my state.? dont know about other states but they put weed in the same category as (schd 1 drugs) heron, LSD, Mescaline, MDMA, GHB, Ecstasy, Psilocybin...! i mean um, why.? again this is the gov at work doing what it know best, lies and misinformation and brain washing of minds that are weak
