Revenge for stating the evidence in public

On Saturday the 6th August 2011 the Hanfparade want to demonstrate with you in Berlin for the legalisation of Cannabis as medicine, raw material and natural stimulant. The demonstration starts at 1 p.m. next to "World Time Clock" at (Station) Alexanderplatz with the motto "40 Jahre sind genug - BtMG ade!" (40 years are enough - Bye Bye BtMG!).

Malaysia is just one of a dozen or more countries that still put people to death for cannabis only offences; they include China, by far the worst with an unknown number of state-authorised murders; Indonesia, Borneo, Brunei, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Vietnam, Iraq, Iran

We call on you to end the war on drugs and the prohibition regime, and move towards a system based on decriminalisation, regulation, public health and education. This 50 year old policy has failed, fuels violent organised crime, devastates lives and is costing billions. It is time for a humane and effective approach.
