Crackdown on cannabis use in Shoebury (From Southend Standard)

• "Nebs its propaganda that cannabis causes 'schizophrenia' and or 'Psychosis'. If so, why does the home office allow GW pharma to grow tons of high grade cannabis in South England, as medicine? Its called sativex, and at 27% THC its strong. Basically liquid skunk for people who suffer from MS and so on. Funny how it doesnt mention 'schizophrenia' and or 'Psychosis' on the list of side effects on the satviex bottle. Hmm i think some people are clouded by misinformation and propaganda, some people know the deal. simple :)
  
  I think the law needs to be changed. Prohibition has allowed criminal gangs control over the cannabis market, gifting them money and power. It needs to be regulated by professionals working for the government. Legalization will ensure dealers slowly go out of business. Regulation would prevent contamination and would be age restricted preventing teenage use. Easier for kids to obtain cannabis than alcohol or cigarettes. FACT, as all a dealer needs to see is a £20 note. Also cannabis is medicine for many people, not simply a recreational drug. Its been known to help people suffering from a wide range of disparate diseases and pathological conditions, ranging from mood and anxiety disorders, movement disorders such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, neuropathic pain, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury, to cancer, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, glaucoma, obesitymetabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis, to name just a few. Legalization and regulation doesn't mean easily obtainable, it simply means safer access for adults who need it and want it, cannabis. An ancient plant, science has proven its therapeutic and medicinal value. Experts acknowledge its a much safer drug than alcohol or tobacco. Taxation, Legalization, Regulation but most importantly Education if you want to eliminate associated 'harms'."
