Mayerthorpe RCMP Murders.
We at Hemporium would like to draw attention to some realities surrounding the recent events involving four RCMP members murdered in Mayerthorpe, Alberta.
While there is NEVER any reason for such events, we bristle at the notion that media and others(Ann McLellan for one, the dumb twat) are reasoning cannabis into the situation
Each year, millions of dollars worth of cannabis is confiscated from organized large-scale grow-ops WITHOUT violent incident. It is the opinion of many experts that over half of Canadians consume cannabis. If the substance alone was responsible for the behaviour of James Roszko, then most of us would have been shot already! Cannabis has been clinically and socially proven to reduce aggression; it’s inflated black-market price simply makes growing it attractive to all including, unfortunately, psychopaths.
The aforementioned events have everything to do with a slack-assed justice and parole system (a failed and obviously USELESS gun registry; mandatory release for fuck-ups like Roszko) and nothing to do with cannabis itself. If all cannabis consumers quietly grew their own at home the demand and resultant high price would literally disappear , removing the organized element for the supply. It is the organized element (involved in guns, coke, prostitution, human traffiking etc.) that gives cannabis consumers a bad name.
Furthermore, when we must witness the ignorant, uneducated BLATHERING of American media and politicians wading in on the issue (”Violent Drug Exports From Canada…”) we wonder how these people have brains enough to get out of bed in the morning; WE didn’t have to shoot it out with Pablo Escobar or Manuel Noriega. There are not any go-fast boats delivering cocaine from Newfoundland!
Our murdered cops ware ambushed by a psycho with an American-made weapon imported/smuggled into our country for the sole purpose of American profiteering; CANNABIS IS NOT TO BLAME!
