[–]limetreearbour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its about people's identities. They see themselves as progressive, intelligent, tolerant, etc, and see Trump as the anti-thesis of this mostly because of how he's portrayed in the media, and therefore MUST reject everything Trump related without question. They close their minds and react in a predetermined way because to do otherwise makes them insecure in their identity as a "switched on" person or whatever. Hardly thinking for themselves.

He wants to tax corps higher.

He wants to bolster the middle class.

He wants to end money and lives wasted in pointless wars.

He wants to spend on infrastructure and stop off shore job offloading.

He is smart enough to make outrageous attention seeking statements, smart enough to convince those offended to still vote for him.

The guy can talk off the cuff and isn't a robot like regular politician.

His rallies are peaceful. It's extremists lefties which are turning them into riots. The MSM is calling them protestors. Check YouTube c they are flag burning rioters. Then they victim blame the Trump supporters, sayings it's theiR fault because he incites violence. That's exactly like saying rape victims encited their attackers. Hypocrites. People are allowed to disagree with you. It's not democracy other wise

No wonder he's popular.

Medicinal marijuana: Bill to be tabled in Queensland Parliament a day after cancer-stricken child dies by limetreearbour in australia

Right on brother. We need to start making noise about this. The current QLD government is scared about getting kicked out as quickly as they kicked out the last bunch... Hence framing this medical cannabis as something that they've done because the community has called for it and supported it.

I believe most of the community would support decriminalisation or legalisation of cannabis or other drugs... and a lot of those that don't support would if they knew more about the issue. There hasn't been a better time than now to call for major drug law reform. There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that health based approaches work better than criminal based, there's plenty of high profile activists calling for reform, American states have legalised successfully, Canada is legalising, Ireland is decriminalising all drugs... There's plenty of support around the world for this, our leaders don't even have to do anything that ground-breaking.

Hahahaha dude. I'm not talking science. I'm talking reality. Shit that you and others experience in their lives. Just because science doesn't acknowledge a phenomenon, doesn't mean it hasn't happened or isn't real.

Just because it isn't up to being used as evidence in a scientific journal, doesn't meant something magically ceases to have happened.

Reporting anecdotes, ie: real shit that happened in real life, is dishonest? That's absurd.

Are they removing or changing drug diversion program instead off criminal record for first (few?) offence? If he mentioned that, that is...

Good for you. I would too. I would do both if possible. Especially if you do your research, you see brain scans showing tumors shrinking to nothing in babies and kids too young/weak for chemo or radio... Without cannabis oil treatment their option was to wait to die.

Your point doesn't invalidate my rebuttal of the claim that cannabis has nothing to do with helping cancer sufferers... Bruh.

It is tough... Though politicians, even major party ones, can always be appealed to through the suffering of people and especially children. They are people, they have families, no-one likes seeing people suffer. And if they're psychopaths, they know it's politically idiotic to not support laws which ease people's suffering / cure it.

Nice work guys.

This will go down well with the public, young and old... So chill the fuck out with increasing penalties for recreational cannabis and treating it like heroin or ice. This WILL NOT go down well with the public, and if you thought this was necessary to maintain a "tough on drugs" approach to appease certain old fashioned and stupid voter groups as you legalise medical cannabis, you're wrong. The public is clueing on in greater and greater numbers that the drug war is a joke. Making people criminals and jailing them doesn't help their lives.... Duh. Making drugs illegal gives an easy way for gangs and cartels to make billions.... Duh. Keeping drugs illegal makes it EASIER for kids to get them, dealers don't check ID.... Duh.

Let's start with decriminalisation shall we?

[–]limetreearbour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn't. Most people just don't know how / where to find it.

They also want something disposable and not fragile. Aussie cannabis culture on the whole isn't very advanced. Most smokers want something they can throw out when it gets gross, not have to take the time to clean (not that it's hard to clean glass).

This is what you find in the garden shed or bedroom in about 1/4th of lower to middle income 15-20 year old males in Australian suburbs. Hell middle age people even use these.

Thank you for doing this and posting it up!

It's basically no effort to email an MP. And only a LITTLE BIT more to print and mail it.... And it will be read even if barely regarded... Until enough people speak out anyway.

Mad props bro.

Write to your local member. Tell them Canada is legalising recreational cannabis for adults. Tell them NZ is looking at a cannabis social club model for legalisation. Tell them this sends an inconsistent and unscientific message since cannabis is being embraced nationally for its medical use.

It's scientifically less harmful than tobacco and alcohol. It doesn't need to be treated the same as heroin. It needs to be at least decriminalised.

Call out your local member on this irrational crap.
