Our worst nightmares have come true. The proposed law to enrich our horrible politicians is worse than any of us ever imagined.

For one, it makes the punishment for cannabis use exponentially worse than it already is under the current, disgusting law.

For two, it excludes current farmers from getting “permits” to grow, their main excuse to legalize cannabis cultivation, since it wants people with “clean” records only to get it. We all know most if not all farmers are outlaws, so they want to get in their own people to farm it, not help the ostracized communities as they claim.

For three, the Ministry of Public Health hasn’t even been given the draft law to look at the “medical” merits of this proposed law.

For four, our politicians wanna sell it for medical use, but will not allow its medicinal use in Lebanon for Lebanese.

I have attached the draft law here for everyone to see, and to see which members of parliament are guilty for not just ripping us off from the money this might generate, but also ruining thousands upon thousands of more lives.

FULL DRAFT LAW

I am working with several people to detail all the horrible things in this law, and how it is even worse than our worst nightmares and will only help the corrupt politicians who signed this, not the country’s income, nor help end the tyranny of drug enforcement in Lebanon, especially for use of a plant these politicians wanna get rich off of, but put their taxpayers in jail and through hell if they try to use the plant for medical purposes here.

Stay tuned for a more in-depth analysis of this disaster, but till then, if you have contact with any of the MPs who signed this, call them and ask them to stop this vote TODAY!

The names signed are of the following MPs, based on what I could read and gather from multiple sources in parliament:

Michel Moussa

Mustapha El Husseini

Mohamad Khawaja

Salim Aoun

Henry Helou

Akram Chehayeb

Jihad El Samad

Paula Yaacoubian

Nicolas Nahhas

Albert Mansour

If any of these names are MPs from your district, or the party you support, then get in touch with them and tell them NO to this draft law. Tell them NO to passing it in secret and with ZERO regard to their constituents’ rights.

This will make the situation of cannabis in Lebanon a thousand times worse than it already is. They have lied to us and kept this law from us as they tweaked it to their ow benefit, not to the benefit of the country, and us, its citizens.
