REASONS FOR LEGALISING CANNABIS

Why vote for legalising cannabis?  Take a look at what the main parties have
to offer!  New Labour promised a more caring, compassionate approach to
government.  So why then, are ill people continually being prosecuted for
using a natural herbal medicine?

Since Labour came to power two eminent reports recommended that ill people
be allowed immediate access to medicinal cannabis.  The government dismissed
both reports.  Meanwhile, seriously ill people still face the threat of
prison for trying to relieve their symptoms.

The Conservatives "common sense approach", makes anything but sense.  They
believe in free-trade, freedom of choice, and personal responsibility, but
instead of managing the trade in this so-called "controlled substance .
