In my perspective, the challanges for legalisation are the following: CHALLANGES 1) for starters smoking Canabis has a bad reputation worldwide. Canabis smoking is associated with: - criminal activities, - rebelious behavior, - poverty, - drugs in general incl. cocain, heroin, mushrooms and x-tasy - overdoses on and misuse of these drugs, - the dreadful situations of addicts to drugs in general (God help them), - not being productive for society, - negative health consequences - and maybe to some the anti-babylon (anti Western domination) Rastafari movement. 2) Furthermore, if we compare use of the soft drug Canabis to the hard drugs Alcohol, Cigarettes and Cigars, use of Canabis is not produced and thereby backed up by powerful multinational companies. There is no financial lobby for Canabis possible at this moment, which is the case for Alcohol and Tobacco. That's an important reason why alcohol and tobacco are legal and Canabis is not. POSSIBLE ANSWER For legalisation, I think the answer lies in marketing. We need to clean up the image of Canabis and get people interested! We need a commercial campaign for Canabis aligned with the important topics in society! No more dark and frightening associations, but associations with fun, having a relaxed, peaceful and innocent time of sharing, respect and love. In our society you see more and more people looking for relaxation, improvement of the quality of life, getting away from stress and pressure, something else than running, competition, problems, wars and crisis. Many people find peace in meditation, Yoga etc which is great. Smoking Canabis could be a complimentary activity in social contexts. Many more positive associations are possible. The point is to sell Canabis and its possibilities to the mass! Get people interested and involved in the alternative! We have to use the laws of commercialisation to create a mass in favour of legalisation. As you saw in the videos, the questions and arguments were not answered. This is because he cannot answer the questions without consequences (haha) but he gets away with it because it is simply not considered important enough. As soon as the pressure from the mass is big enough, there is no choice anymore than to answer and make a change. Good luck, keep up the good work! Peace, one love!
