NEW GREEN REFERENDUM

I can do a blog too!

LEGALIZE POT! LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!

The current green initiatives referendum is encouraging the legalizing the consumption of marijuana by depicting pot leaves on their banners. It's a great way to chillax between classes!

VOTEZ OUI! POUR LE RÉFÉRENDUM VERT!
VOTE YES FOR THE GREEN REFERENDUM!

Yes for the bike co-op, the green food initiatives, the fair trade and eco friendly food options, a sustainability centre... but most of all... for marijuana!

Backgrounder:
Since the beginning of the 20th century, most countries have enacted laws against the cultivation, possession, or transfer of cannabis for recreational use. These laws have impacted adversely on the cannabis plant's cultivation for non-recreational purposes, but there are many regions where, under certain circumstances, handling of cannabis is legal or licensed. Many jurisdictions have lessened the penalties for possession of small quantities of cannabis, so that it is punished by confiscation and sometimes a fine, rather than imprisonment, focusing more on those who traffic the drug on the black market.

In some areas where cannabis use has been historically tolerated, some new restrictions have been put in place, such as the closing of cannabis coffee shops near the borders of the Netherlands,[91] closing of coffee shops near secondary schools in the Netherlands and crackdowns on "Pusher Street" in Christiania, Copenhagen in 2004.[92][93]

Some jurisdictions use free voluntary treatment programs and/or mandatory treatment programs for frequent known users. Simple possession can carry long prison terms in some countries, particularly in East Asia, where the sale of cannabis may lead to a sentence of life in prison or even execution.

  1. Are you for real? They are not pot leaves, they are trees.

    Grow up.
