The Topic Of Cannabis Is All Over The World

Millions Are Talking About Cannabis


As the title of this post says, the topic of cannabis is all over the world. People are talking about this herb in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and everywhere. They are also talking about it on television, on the newspapers, in magazines, in books, the Internet and in many other places as well. There are experts talking about marijuana, there are politicians talking about it, there are doctors talking about it and many others are also talking about this too. 

This proves that the legalization of cannabis is on its way and that there are millions of people interested in it right now. Recently the OEA or the Organization of American States, made public its results on "the drug problem", in which the scenario has been analyzed and four different solutions have been presented. The study is meant to help countries decided whether or not marijuana is legalized in their territories and what the benefits of this would be. 

The study also describes how the current prohibition laws are not working and how it requires to be improved right away. The study only took about a year and this was due to the fact that there are many people focusing on this topic at the moment. The legalization of possession of marijuana for personal use is recommended in this study and this also proves that people are changing their point of views about this herb.

Cannabis Will Be Legalized Very Soon


According to the study that the OEA made public recently, cannabis is an ancient and cultural plant, which needs to be legalized, as it can provide us with many benefits and is already being used worldwide. The study is filled with scientific knowledge, cultural points of view and much more, which should help people to realize that marijuana is not as bad as other substances and that its laws need to be reformed today. 

People are really doing a lot to help the legalization of marijuana to become a reality and there is no doubt that this study will help others to realize that this plant should not remain banned anymore. I have explained the benefits of marijuana many times in this blog and people all over the world are realizing that these are true. 

Further studies will continue to prove that marijuana is a beneficial plant and that keeping it illegal is simply not the way to solve consumption or illegal trade. The money and jobs that a marijuana industry can create is simply out of this world and it would surely be one of the most profitable industries in the market, which is why governments and communities would benefit from this plant and it is moment for everyone to admit that it would.

  1. Do you not think that any focus on this plant is missing the point in several ways, and is perhaps cowardly? I read a good piece earlier about the cannabis lobby being a white middle class thing that will do nothing for the core issue of drug use/misuse, and I have to say I can see a lot of truth in that. I would go further, the issue is not how good cannabis is or not, it is the fact that the govt have the audacity to tell us what we can peacefully do with our bodies, something the Misuse of Drugs Act does NOT set out to do.

    We really must start a civil rights movement and it would be better IMO not even to mention cannabis at all. It’s the comfort zone that people want to have a nice cosey conversation about. Whilst unlucky importers, sellers and producers are seeing jail time, most users are ignorred. The core of the justification for regulating business and leaving users alone is that where the threshold of anti-social drug related nuisance is not crossed, then such a choice ought to be within the boundaries of freedom. The same could be said for the peaceful use of just about anything, and yes of course we should examine even the criminalisation of problematic drug related activities as bearing paradoxical consequences which are now familiar mainstream arguments.

    I see the whole drug reform movement slipping into a plant focussed agenda, I even saw one campaign for the “Rights of the cannabis plant not to be an illegal substance”. We are in great danger of fixing the debate in a prohibitionist paradigm because we are, like them, thinking this is about drugs. Yet we should be working on a people policy for drugs, not a drug policy for people. It is a massive distinction and we have to be prepared to discusss drug related outcomes rather than substances. Yes you are doing this admirably with cannabis, but it actually doesn’t start there with this plant. If it was about plants then we should be pretty angry about magic mushrooms being a ‘controlled drug – Class A’ as well – but actually it is about the right of peaceful adults to have dominion over their own lives, and to have the possibility of future choices, and to that extent, talk of cannabis, no matter how interesting is the BIG RED HERRING of the drug misuse law reform initiatives.
