Individual responsibility ? By Doede J. de Jong Organic and biological farmer.

What is the profit to saddle the society with such terrible waste of money ?. It would appear that cannabis enthusiasts are held hostage for the employment of Police and Justice. The government is in any case and especially in these tough times, which everyone is efficient and cautious, morally obliged to end this bizarre waste of money and affecting of individual privacy. Solution-oriented thinking is the best approach, as lifting the ban or at least legalize. In this way weed can be grown like potatoes for example. Calculate your profit.

To make things clearer, it is wise to do a a cost benefit analysis to the subjects " Police and Justice ". Fighting prohibited weed that may be legally sold in coffee shops consumes billions of taxpayer dollars. It only generates more crime and weed of poor quality. The consumers and the growers are sacrificed. And meanwhile, . . our public health goes through the sewer.

Oct 12th 2013 - The new creed; responsibility. Why does responsibility for our own lives stops, as cannabis use is involved. While there every year at least 20.000 people die from alcohol and tobacco consumption. That is 55 deaths per day on our 16 million inhabitants. This seems to be no problem. This arrangement is in extreme contrast compared to marijuana use. Where from no one is going to die. A new form of liberalism ?. I believe the government is afraid to be undermined by the established order, which of course is nonsense. Cannabis connoisseurs are, in general, tolerant people who seek a peaceful society. We are not the enemy, au contraire. Cannabis legalization will also mean an improvement of society. It also provides additional billions of dollars and thousands of jobs.
