    SMOKING SOAP = SMOKING POISON. Dangerous substances can be added during the preparation of this so-called hash. Polluting cannabis this way turns a beneficial natural plant into a health- destroying substance. Users get a 'hit'', but it is not cannabis. Sellers of such substances are ignorant of real cannabis or guilty of selling poisons, ripping people off, and giving cannabis a bad name. They should be avoided - it is better to smoke nothing than to smoke bad soap bar. After legalisation, those people could be prosecuted in the same way as a publican who sells watered beer. Meanwhile it is up to customers to avoid unscrupulous and ignorant suppliers. You could send a small bit to your local Trading Standards or Environmental Health Department, or the Home Office asking them to test it. Do we need to say anonymously? If you get bust with soap bar ask for it to be tested for cannabis content - there may be none in it! Soap Bar is made from a small percentage of pollen and up to 90% plant material bound together with bee's wax or pine resin and condensed milk. The mixture is green due to the plant material, so it is coloured with instant coffee or henna to a sandy brown colour. To give it a resinous look, turpentine is added, which also disguises the taste! Other substances added to boost profits, help bonding, increase the 'effect' or change the colour are worse. They include ground up aspirin, tranquillisers and other pills, glues, benzene, toluene and other carcinogenic solvents, boot polish, dye, ketamine and other dangerous drugs, animal excrement, nutmeg and other vegetable matter. They may also be in some soft so-called Pakistani or Afghanis hash. These versions of cannabis are not sold in Holland or Switzerland, where there is good quality grass and bud, or in Germany or Scandinavia where people pay more for better quality. "SOAP" can be cheap but buyers are being ripped off on quality. The dealers must be doubling their money! The solution is to spread the message and stop buying it. Grass/weed is also being contaminated with glass etchant or sugar to make it heavier. So watch out. Reprinted from ‘Red Eye’ & Robert Connell Clarke's 'Hashish' June 2005 by Legalise

    Legalise Cannabis Party! There will be a Legalise Cannabis Party on Saturday 27th, on the Meadows near Middle Meadow Walk from 3pm onwards. Bring musical instruments, a possitive attitude and of course, yourselves! The 2nd May Day march in Edinburgh went OK this year. Some wind buffetted the banner but we clung on tight. Then a little rain but the weather brightened up for the Rally outside the Scottish Parliament. Memo - get better poles asap. We met up at 1pm in Middle Meadow Walk 28th September '08 to comemorate 80 years of cannabis being illegal in solidarity with www.lca-uk.org who also supply badges. We enjoyed the March in Edinburgh on 3rd May '08 organised by http://www.edinburghpeoplesfestival.org.uk People applauded when they saw the banner. Then after the speeches we went to the Mound to busk and made a bit of money. See ENCOD website http://www.encod.org and 'Cures not Wars' http://www.worldwidemarijuanamarch.org/ website for venues worldwide and the history of the Million Marijuana march events. LCCS has taken part before but often it is too soon after Beltane for anyone in Edinburgh who is interested to be awake! Or there is some election distracting activists! CCC

About me:

Options for Change. We encourage debate on cannabis law. International law (the Single Convention) requires regulation of cannabis. The Dutch system works because their Constitutional says that 'the Punishment can not be worse than the crime'. So five options for change are given here but we’d like all of them. If you do too email your MP, MSP and MEP, write to the Letters page of your favourite paper or join in a radio phone-in. 1. Decriminalise possession of small quantities of cannabis. (Australian model) Users would not be criminalised, freeing police and courts time and resources to tackle serious crime. There would be little saving in prison space and expenditure, as users could be imprisoned for non-payment of fines. Money would still go to organised crime and cannabis could still be 'cut' with unknown substances. 2. Tincture of Cannabis available on prescription. (Historic model) Tincture of Cannabis was part of the National Formulary of Medicines so could be cheaper than the 'new' cannabis medicines being developed. Patients would have access to cannabis sooner, without fear of jail. Some savings in Health Service budgets where cannabis replaced more expensive medicines. 3. Allow growing cannabis without a licence. (Alaskan model) You can grow tobacco and brew beer and wine so long as you do not sell them. This would allow about ten cannabis plants at a time per person. Growers would not be criminals and would have access to pure marijuana. Less money would go to the black market, none to the government. 4. Cannabis sold in licensed Member Only clubs. (Modified Dutch model) The supply of unadulterated cannabis could be assured and revenue could be raised for the Government. Proof of age would be required for membership so minors would not be able to join. 5. Farmers should be allowed to grow more Hemp This is not really a drug issue but a way to help reduce global warming. Fibre hemp has too low THC to intoxicate. Farmers could grow hemp for animal bedding, house insulation, seeds, paper, oil etc if regulations were less strict. They are not allowed to grow hemp in sight of main roads, which rules out many farmers’ fields when they need new crops. To join LCCS send £5:00 to PO Box 12758 EH8 9YP. Include your address if you want a reply.

Who I'd like to meet:

A Fair Cannabis Trade. Cannabis is one of a number of traditional medicines victimised by World Treaty (Single Convention) since the 1920’s when Alcohol Prohibition ended in the USA. A valuable fibre crop used for cloth making, animal bedding, string & rope since prehistoric times. Quick growing, hard wearing & insulating it can be used for biomass fuel. It produces edible seeds and oil with many positive dietary properties for local cultivators. That’s before you consider its valuable medicinal properties and recreational uses! At all points in the supply chain Third World producers are ripped off by mafias and government agencies alike. Every time it is the poor who go to jail – the better of can afford bribery or get a lawyer. Then it is sold without contents labelling to consumers here who cannot know if it is fit for human consumption or not. So legalise it now to help end world poverty!
