THIS IS NOT BORING, I PROMISE (: and no i am not some hippy trying to save mother earth.
People around the world have been smoking marijuana for thousands of years while also using the hemp plant for everything from fabric and rope to ethanol fuel. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, a man with a bit of power and enough determination decided pot was disgusting, evil and narcotic.
He moved mountains to make it illegal worldwide. In our very own Australia the struggle continues to this day to overcome the lies and misconceptions about marijuana that the government spent billions to spread.
Between 1937 and 1947, the government spent $220 million on the war against drugs. Between 1948 and 1963, the cost of this "war" on marijuana alone escalated to $1.5 billion. From 1964 to 1969 the government spent $9 billion on the war against marijuana, a price tag that continues to rise.
With this price tag continuing to rise why should the government continue this struggle?? Costing themselves millions off dollars keeping something that they could actually gain money on.
Not that I'm trying to increase the governments chances off scraping more money out off us (: but to get what we want sometimes we have to give something in return and if this means bringing the governments attention to the fact that they can make a profit out off it also and save all that extra money they spend on banning it, then i am very willing to do so, I'm not going to make this a long boring speech, I'm going to make our point simple and polite (:
Stop crime, Broaden your minds, show the government we can work together and show them the possibilities that marijuana can bring to our society.
SO PLEASE.. give to our cause and sign this petition, if you do not wish to put your real name down please don't let that stop you sign as anonymous and help us work with the government. (:
