Conservatives will Refuse to Legalise Cannabis, Despite Medical Evidence
Theresa May just confirmed that the Conservatives will refuse to legalise cannabis, despite medical evidence
- Theresa May announced she will not support cannabis law reform during a Facebook Live event
- The leader of the Conservative Party claimed she opposes legalisation due to the “gateway theory” and the pseudo-link to mental illness
Theresa May has just made the General Election a very easy decision for cannabis users in the UK. In an attempt to win over voters ahead of the election, the current Prime Minister went on a live Facebook Q&A hosted by ITV News to discuss her view on issues affecting the public. When asked a question by ‘Emma’ on cannabis legalisation, Ms May explained why she would refuse to even consider relaxing the laws surrounding the medicinal plant.
Robert Peston, the host of the Q&A, put the question from Emma to the PM: “Emma wants to know why you can’t support cannabis legalisation?
“She says it’s the only thing that helps her debilitating anxiety, but she has to be a criminal to get the only thing that helps her.”
Surely our head of State, whose sole job is to represent us and put our best interest first, would respond compassionately to a distressed citizen?
Rather than address the issue directly or discuss the plethora of medical research which confirms the bounty of ways in which cannabis can be used medicinally, the PM refused to commit to law reform.
Instead, the PM insulted the intelligence of the nation, and the concerned citizen who posed the question, by using out-dated theories from the “Reefa Madness” era to defend her totalitarian position:
“The reason I don’t believe in making cannabis use legal is because of the impact I see it having on too many people in terms of the drug use.
“What we’ve seen is stronger forms now being used – I think it can have a real impact on people in terms of their mental health.
“But it can also of course lead to people going on to harder drugs.”
“There’s a wonderful woman in my constituency, Elizabeth Burton Phillips who runs something called DrugFAM, which supports families.
“One of her twin sons – they both started on cannabis when they were at school and went on to heroin and one of her twin sons committed suicide. This has a huge impact on families.”
The gate-way drug theory has been proved to be wrong for a long time now. Does the fact that someone who wants to be head of the UK refuses to accept scientific fact not prove that we must remove her from any position of authority? You wouldn’t want a teacher who believes 2+2 = 7 in charge of your child’s math department, so why should the same not apply for the way our country is governed?
The PM even acknowledged that there is significant research disproving the lies she just peddled on national media: “There have obviously been some studies into the use of cannabis or derivatives for medical use,” she said.
We need to relax the laws surrounding cannabis research in the UK, or our knowledge of the plant will never expand. If we cannot expand our medical knowledge due to a law, then are we not putting our most vulnerable members of society at risk of serious harm?
The leader of the Conservatives made this General Election very easy for anyone who cares about cannabis legalisation, or indeed, for anyone who is compassionate about ending human suffering.
Who has your vote? Let us know in the comments!
Why doesn’t she legalize it already?
What an absolute idiot….if that is her educated opinion on medicinal cannabis. …then how can you believe or trust anything she has to say on any subject. …Theresa May you are a twat and for many reasons, not just your stance on medicinal cannabis, you do not have my vote…!!!
The Truth About Chase Walker/
Cini Walker and Marc Stevens are not “anti vaxxers”. Their other children are fully vaccinated, and Chase had received 37 out of 41 scheduled vaccines. Every vaccine caused uncontrollable seizures and chest infections. Chase was placed in the HDU and his parents were told to plan his funeral.
With no hope left Cini and Mark decided to take Chase home and begin an organic diet, supplemented with cannabis oil.
Under the care of his loving parents, Chase gained weight and achieved a level of health they had been told never to expect.
The Department of Child Services has put these people through Hell, they have been to court over and over, Cini and Marc win every single time.
Last night the police and child services arrived at a residence where Cini, Mark, Chase and the other children are staying with paperwork to medically kidnap Chase. Saying his pottassium levels were life threatening low. Despite his parents telling them over and over this was not the case, they executed the order and Chase was taken to John Hunter hospital. The pediatrician attended, took bloods, and confirmed Chases levels were perfectly healthy and he was free to go home with his parents.
What happened next defies belief in a country that dares to call itself a democracy.
Feeling like the nightmare was over for now, Marc went to the toilet where he was locked in by police. Child services mocked Cini and told her she wasn’t taking her child anywhere, that they were having her locked up for being mentally unstable. Another completely bullshit, and trumped up accusation. Understandably Cini lost it. This poor woman has been bullied and treated like shit by so many government, and medical departments and she’s just a mother trying to save her sons life. She is more informed than half the “medical” staff she deals with, and has now become a problem to the powers that be, because her son is not only living proof of provable vaccine injury, but that her “alternative” treatment works.
Now no one knows where Chase is, and his parents are devastated. They had already arranged a foster family before kidnapping him.
Hug your kids and tell them you love them. Because if anything happened and some government official decided to take them off you, there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it.
Child services aren’t there for the protection of children, they’re a highly paid child trafficking service.
The state needs to get custody of Chase so Cini and Mark can’t sue them, can’t plead his case. Its the only way they can gag them and cover their own corrupt, lying, murdering asses.
This goes on every single day in this country. The only difference with this case is more people know the truth. And the truth is that we have no rights, this is not a democracy, and your children are not yours. ?
