 MUM'S DELIGHT AT NEWS OF CANNABIS LAW CHANGE [UK]

A Derbyshire mother who witnessed the effect cannabis had on her son has expressed her delight that the drug has been reclassified.
Carol Taylor's 20-year-old son, Joe Heathcote, killed himself in April last year after suffering from depression.
He used to smoke cannabis and his mother is convinced it only served to make his condition worse. Yesterday, the Government confirmed that it would be reclassifying the recreational drug back to Grade B, from Grade C.
As a result, the maximum penalty for possession of the drug will rise from two to five years by the end of this year.
Warnings against cannabis use are also set to be put on cigarette paper packets, while the sale of seeds, pipes and even material encouraging people to smoke could be restricted.
Mrs Taylor, 44, of Derby Road, Wirksworth, said "I am so happy that the Government has made this decision, absolutely delighted.
"Last year, my son fell ill and confided in me that he smoked cannabis.
"I thought that it was probably a phase he was going through and something that young people did to experiment but I didn't think it was too much of a problem.
"When he died last April, it was just such a big shock."
Mrs Taylor said that since her son's death she had received help from a support group called Talking About Cannabis.
The group is made up of parents of children who have suffered at the hands of cannabis and last October, they lobbied Parliament, urging them to re-classify the drug.
Mrs Taylor said: "Talking About Cannabis have been a great help and through them I have been in contact with a lot of other people who have been through something similar to me."
Speaking in the House of Commons yesterday, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said that she had decided to reclassify the drug subject to Parliamentary approval.
She said: "There is a compelling case for us to act now rather than risk the future health of young people.
"Where there is a clear and serious problem, but doubt about the harm that will be caused, we must err on the side of caution."

Yes, I am a mum and I want my son to be treated like criminal scum, rather than rehabilitated.
THE DEATH PENALTY IS TOO GOOD FOR THESE TYKES!

And, of course she somehow failed to notice that her son procured the herb when it was ALREADY ILLEGAL.
Had the stiffer penalties been in effect, how would this have saved her son?
Oops! My bad, I am using logic once again in place of raw emotionalism.

Obviously it was the drug and not the parenting...

That daily mail piece is so eloquently written. Like a tradgey, but then it gets funny
Quote:
When I saw my husband, he looked white and strained. All he could tell me was that two police officers had come to the house that evening and informed him that Matthew had been found dead - and that it was believed he had taken his own life.
I still vividly remembered the day, in 2004, that I'd found out we had a problem with Matthew.
Martin, then 14, had come into my bedroom and told me he'd seen Matthew, 16, smoking cannabis in the city centre.
Yep, that's the reason right there. Devil's weed took him, it's roots are in hell, and that's where it drags everyone. This is as scientific a fact as the earth being 6000 years old.
Quote:
But his view was always the same: "If the Government isn't bothered about cannabis, why should I be?" If you looked at the law, he had a point.
Oh yeah, exactly. Before 2000 cannabis was a dirty drug, worse than teh nazis. After that it became more fun than an armful of puppies. I knew the government approved because it was class c, which is totally legal* (*Bollocks, it's still illegal, just now, it's more illegal. That'll show em!). Now it's back to class B I don't know if I can take the risk. I've got at least a 2*10^3% chance of being completely batshit nun raping devil weed smoking jazz music dancing mental case according to the font of scientific fact that is the daily mail.
Quote:
To my horror, he was told that Matthew had hanged himself in the woods - an image so terrible to a parent that I don't think I will ever be able to erase it from my mind.
Yep. That must be it. Everything else was perfect in his life. Except his Mum would beat him and his dad RAPED him. Oh yeah, don't mention that bit daily mail. You'd never ever commit slander. You are middle class cat hoarding housewives standard of honesty.
Quote:
Blond and blue-eyed, he was so handsome, as well as extremely talented.
(*INSERT VON BRAUN/PETER SELLERS VOICE HERE*) Ja, he vas einer Übermensch , corrupted by the evil devil's weed, as used by coloureds to lure white women into weird jazz orgies.
Quote:
Thinking back to his childhood, I recalled how happy he'd been. When he was little, we had lived in a large house on the Pembrokeshire coast, and Matthew and his brothers had been able to swim and camp out on the beach whenever they wanted.
Later, after moving to Cardiff, we had bought a second home in Brittany where Matthew had spent weeks helping his father to make improvements.
He loved music, too, and played the mandolin, banjo and piano, as well as electric and acoustic guitar. He got ten GCSEs, mostly A stars, and became head boy of his school.
Somehow he had also managed to lead a busy social life. Our house was always full of his friends.
Over and over again, his teachers had told me what a wonderful future my son had ahead of him.
Now all that had been snatched away - purely, I believed, as a result of that first spliff.
DEVILS WEED BURNED HIM FROM INSIDE OUT! DEVILS WEED ROTS YOUR BRAIN. REPENT RIFF RAFF OF THE UK!
Quote:
His father and I tried to talk to him about the dangers of drugs, warning that cannabis would lead to harder, more lethal substances. But Matthew would not listen.
Did he use these harder drugs. Did he turn to drink, coffee, or cigarettes? Did he take heroin or cocaine? No, but THE DAILY MAIL must crusade onwards, battling the twin demons of foriegners (especially cannabis smoking ones) and the truth towards the ultimate goal of England by the cat hoarders, for the cat hoarders.
Quote:
Matthew's friend, Alex, had made a statement to say that Matthew had taken two tablets of LSD, suffered "a bad reaction", and had run off into the woods.
LSD standing for Pure Concentrated Evil in German. Even Johhny Foriegner knows of the dangers of this corrosive acid that melts children's spines.
Quote:
As I looked around at his friends, I longed to tell them that my son is just one of many young victims to die as a result of the belief that experimenting with drugs is "harmless".
I am grieving for the loss of your child. And filled with righteous indignation that people would dare grow the murderherb!
Mmm, murderherb. It sounds brutal.

Yes, that young man would definately NOT have killed himself if he had been locked in prison for 5 years, had his whole life ruined and gotten analy raped. Thank god for the drug laws.

The murderherb leads to depraved sex acts. The idea of Harry Anslinger thinking about sex is depraved.
You know that news article about those three guys that dug up a corpse to use the head as a bong? They should have used Anslinger's skull.
