CANNABIS PROHIBITION - A VERY SERIOUS CRIMEPlease distribute widelyCannabis is safeINTRODUCTION.Cannabis has been misrepresented and mis-classified in both national and international law, as a "drug" that is:dangerous to health, andof no therapeutic value.Herein, I indicate and present some of the hard scientific that reveals the falsity of those beliefs and hence the very 'wrongness' and injustice of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, UK, and other cannabis prohibition legislation world-wide. At best that prohibition is a grievous error, at worst a deep-rooted conspiracy amongst profit-motivated tyrants and businessmen (believed by many).Consider this:the UK Government has already been presented with some of this evidence - why have they ignored it?the press have reported the safety aspects and medical benefits of cannabis many times,the UK Government have refused to comment on this information,the UK Government have rejected reports from experts in health, in medicine and in law,Does this not suggest 'False Law' is favoured over justice? That is, a law that is anti-health, anti-public order, anti-justice, anti-environment that enables and ensures the profits of many massive multi-national cooperations that produce damaging synthetic alternatives to hemp.In any case a False Law based upon false information, is a CRIME. That the Governments of this world mostly so stubbornly support a law that, we claim, they KNOW to be a false law makes the guilt ten fold heavier.That many Governments yet refuse to grant legal access to this beneficial plant for the many sick and dying of this world, refuse therein to enable the production of food from the seed and pollution-free fuel from the biomass, is indeed a VERY SERIOUS CRIME - A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.THE EVIDENCE.In the light of the Rulings of DEA Judge Francis Young (1988) and the Articles of both the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human rights and the European Convention for The Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the denial of an effective medicine to people is a very serious CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. All Governments and authorities that participate in this denial are guilty of very serious crimes.This information should be distributed widely so that the Heads of States and Governments, and the courts, are aware that it is in the public domain.Here is some of the important SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. It is followed by an excerpt from the rulings of Judge Young and the Articles of the International treaties.Pot Smokers Just As Healthy - Study: National Post (Canada), 11 June 2001UK: Natural Cannabis Better Than Extracts: BBC News (UK Web), 5 April 2001Cannabis Found to be Less Harmful than Pharmaceutical DrugsTopNews, 25 Sept 20101) Cannabis may help prevent lung cancer"Marijuana Use and Mortality", American Journal of Public Health, April 1997.Table 2 provides data on the relative risk of death for ever users and current users of marijuana, by sex and cause of death: Kaiser Permanente Medical care Program, Oakland and San Francisco, June 1979 to December 1985 (n=65,171), section regarding cancer (Neoplasms) as the cause of death. The table shows that men and women who are or have smoked cannabis but not tobacco have a lesser risk of developing cancer than those who were non-smokers of both marijuana and tobacco. see: http://ccguide.org/cancdata.phpLarge Study Finds No Link between Marijuana and Lung Cancer: Scientific American, 3 Sept 2010 Ireland: Cannabis Eases Cancer Sickness, Study Finds: Irish Examiner, 6 July 20012) Cannabis may help slow down natural cognitive decline"Cannabis use and cognitive decline in persons under 65 years of age", American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol 149, No 9 pages 794-800, 1999.Table 3 shows the mean change in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score between wave 2 (1982) and wave 3 (1993-1996) in men and women, by level of cannabis use, Baltimore Epidemiologic Catchment Area study follow-up.A deterioration in Mental Functioning occurs in all age groups as a natural function of ageing and exposure to toxins. We see less cognitive decline among marijuana smokers than non-users. The authors also acknowledge alcohol and tobacco as two of the prime causes of cognitive decline. They did not publish their conclusion that cannabis caused a significant difference because the measured values were close, the difference between cannabis smokers and tobacco /alcohol users is undeniable. seeMarijuana is "anti-aging" and "curative" drug, speakers say at Kalamazoo seminar: mlive, 11 July 2010http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v99.n1330.a12.html3) Cannabis may kill brain tumoursThe type of tumour, a glioma, is relatively uncommon but fatal in humans. Dr Ismael Galve-Roperh and his team at Complutense University, Madrid, infused tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) into the rats' brains through tubes. In a third of the rats, the tumour was eliminated. Another third lived for an extra six weeks instead of dying within two to three. Another third gained no benefit. The team reports in Nature Medicine that the treatment works by stimulating the cancer cells to commit suicide in a natural process called apoptosis. The effect occurs in cancer cells but not in normal ones and, they say, "could provide the basis for a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of malignant gliomas".The Times, February 20, 2000see alsoCannabis Cures Cancer - "Run From The Cure" The Rick Simpson Story
