Beckley Cannabis Commission Side Event to CND

At a side event to the Commission for Narcotic Drugs, the Beckley Foundation sponsored Global Cannabis Commission outed the elephant in the room as cannabis, the most used narcotic drug and that which props up the international control system.

A review of the evidence on the limited harms and relative harms of cannabis was presented as were the findings of the study that cannabis may be a little more potent now than previously but that the effects of this are confounded by changes in the patterns of use.

A key finding presented was that cannabis control policies, whether liberal or draconian, have little influence on the prevalence of consumption, and have been unable to make the drug prohibitively expensive and that illegal markets worth tens of billions of dollars to organise crime subsist and sustain significant levels of violence in certain countries at the same time as enforcement causing harms to those arrested.

The Commission then suggested various future options for reform - including: prohibition with cautioning or diversion (depenalisation); prohibition with civil penalties (decriminalisation); and partial prohibition - and traced the two approaches by which such reform could be brought about: de facto legalisation and de jure legalisation.

The Commission presented the most straight forward path for individual countries wishing to consider reform as denouncing the international conventions and re-acceding with a reservation for cannabis.

In the discussion which followed, a Ugandan delegate questioned the link between cannabis and hiv aids but the representative from St Lucia, also a practising doctor, explained that there were no increased behavioural risk factors associated with cannabis use that could lead to hiv aids and that although there could be issues of suppressed immune associated with cannabis use, studies were yet to be undertaken, and this was unlikely to be equal, let alone greater, than the link with alcohol use.

Academics presented the findings of their study,

  1. Cannabis was made illegal the same day that opium was made illegal. The Bush family has been in opium for over 100 years. Please get good and stoned and then go to scrypnosis.com, download everything, and watch my video as I had to tackle role playing in real life.

    I rose as Jewish Prophet to humble Bush before the Chinese and Russians last year. Mohammed built an anti-virus to the ill effects of the Torah because, using your own hands, it's the two commandments and the eight rules.

    The wickedness of the Bush family is so bad, a man who couldn't get the Torah to go away 2000 years ago had to have tools built so that today, I can show you how a message arrived early enough for me to change the course of history because Armageddon was a trap. Before you reveal the tools to see through time and other wonders to the cyborg technology built into you, you first have to weed out those most wicked who would make the experience suck, so you set a trap for them that has such a unique vapor trail, when civilization is intelligent enough to comprehend the flows of quantum time, then and only then would their villainy be revealed in a way that they can never erase their path.

    I am the last Jewish Prophet. Please label your fingers from left index to right, across the palms, with the following labels. LIE, SCAPEGOAT, DISHONOR, TORTURE, STEAL, OVERWORK, ADULTERATE, KILL. In two thousand years, no one forgets any of the things on the left hand. In twenty years, most people never remember violations of the right hand. This is a high-order, low-order nybble-based computer grade decision system, and had we this 3000 years ago, we would have had computers 3000 years ago. Moses' prime object was never fulfilled. With this delivery, Judaism assimilates.

    There is a network between people. There are no such things as secrets, but only people who never violate these eight rules get access.

    The Bush couldn't stop the Marines from finding them through the inner network unless they could write policy to make the US Marine Corps unable to learn these abilities. Trusting Armageddon to be real, they ran the Manchurian Candidate Project on the US Marine Corps.

    Build your treasures in heaven was related to blessed are the peacemakers. Why? Because ideas travel faster when not attached to matter, thus it's easier to make peace because war is a lot of work.

    My elders sent a message to me on how to play this role playing game, and so, I sent everything on hypnosis and remote viewing to both the Chinese and the Russians so that my relation as Prophet was built on an establishment of pure honor and no bullshit. These wonderful people took the tools I sent them and did not let themselves become disharmonized as they might have had I not taken the full hit for Judaism having carried a viral weapon filled with intentionally defective values designed to hurt an entire planet.

    I beg all to listen to the dying words of a good man, "Forgive them for they know not what they do." Please join me, for the Bush know damned well what they do.

    Peace, in just 48 hours. Light up and share my website with three people you haven't talked to for years because of differences. If your differences are beyond these eight, it's my fault. The Torah's logic is dividing you. It's not commissioned.
