4:20 Part 5 "(NOT) TALKING ABOUT MARY JANE: A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS" examines the taboo around openly discussing cannabis and the harms that result from the enforced silence. The failure of Prohibition is further examined in light of the facts that NZ has the 2nd highest rate of use in the developed world and the highest rate of arrest & conviction for cannabis offenses...
Current political thinking is boxed in by the 'labeling' paradigm. A cannabis reform advocate is not a pothead rather a person who advocates reform. Every person who is convicted of cannabis related offences has been politically 'labeled'. Only restorative justice principals including refund of fines (with interest) and a full apology for any and all harms will suffice to make good this anachronism. There is nothing MORAL about legal sanctioned prejudice targeting 'those' people. Good stuff...
