The Write Stuff: Letters To Squall

Don’t Be A Weed About Hemp

Squall 15, Summer 1997, pg. 58.

Dear Squall,

Last September, as a protest against 68 years of Cannabis Prohibition in Britain, myself and former international Cannabis smuggler Howard Marks distributed free Hash Cakes in Hyde Park. After the deed was done and with only one cake remaining as evidence, we made our way to Marylebone police station, where I had already made an appointment for us to be arrested on Cannabis-related charges. After a short delay, being locked out of the station, I was allowed in on my own.

I explained what I had done to the smiling sergeant behind the desk, who replied something along the lines of "Okay you’ve proved your point, would you like to leave now please".

So what have I proved? Well firstly I have shown that as far as Cannabis is concerned the Police just aren’t that bothered. Secondly, I have demonstrated that laws only function with our co-operation. By refusing to co-operate with the system, the system cannot work. I refuse to co-operate with a law which in itself is illegal.

So if you are ever stopped by the police and they try and steal your Cannabis from you, inform them that you do not recognise this law and will refuse to co-operate in any way with them.

If enough people do this then the truth about Cannabis will become a reality for all, and the the truth is this:

Cannabis is legal and denying this is a crime against nature. Have faith and believe in the truth.
