Seems like the ConDems have set up another website to ignore.

Funnily enough, the issue of drugs has cropped up once or twice...

Noticed that myself :) I'm quite sure by next year cannabis will be the legal in the UK :wink: nah, okay then maybe not...

erm...now please explain that to me, is that some sort of big strike or just something a few stoners will see? :)

Nice idea, but if they really want to get some of these ideas across to the government in a clear and sensible manner, they should get somebody to propose this who can actually spell.
An individual may not cultivate cannabis at more than one postal address and that address must be their main residence, the address at which they are registered on the electoral role, and they may only cultivate at that address whilst the electoral role is in force. They would be required to have a valid registration on the electoral role for the address at which they are cultivating.
Electoral role??? Erm, I think that should read electoral roll, surely? Damn these pot-heads who can't spell, eh?

I, for one, would reject anything out of hand (from the point of view of the establishment) that seemed to be written by people with no grasp of the english language.

Now before everyone starts shouting me down, let me just state for the record;

I personally believe that people should have the right to grow their own medicine - especially if it is for personal use.


However, when dealing with the bureaucrats who love nothing more than rejecting anything even vaguely controversial, you have to make sure that all the 't's are crossed and the 'i's dotted - or at the very least, run a spell-checker and get someone to proof-read the damn thing first. :roll:

I know spelling isn't something that we worry about too much on here - it's so easy to make a simple typo, but let's not give the government any more ammunition against us "uneducated stoner types"....

:wink:

You get dicks on both sides of the coin. I read one where some enlightened soul was demanding 5 years imprisonment for use, with a reduction to 2.5 years if you squeal on your supplier.
One of the site moderators pointed out that the purpose of this effort was to remove/repeal legislation, rather than create more.

seems to be alot of stuff about legalising but i can't see it happening. Correct spelling or not!

Loads more poeple harping on about immigrants too.

They did however cut my post to repeal Newton's third law, apparently taking the piss is wrong but being midly racist isn't!
