MidgeSmith Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) I dunno if anyone is interested, but someone is polling on YouGov Chat regarding feelings about cannabis for the second time in - I think - 6 months. It could do with some bumping by pro members of society if you are interested and the link is allowed. I've anonymised the link to avoid uk420.com being seen as the referrer, I hope this type of link is ok?https://anon.to/6nWYku Edited September 12, 2023 by MidgeSmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Sorry to be a dick but petitions go in the bin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgeSmith Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) I totally get it Boojum, hence the reluctant post, but if nobody gives their opinion from the positive side, the figures about the public's thoughts are forever skewed... So I figured I'd mention it for those who CAN be bothered. I do think that it is ironic that the group who are quietest about legalising cannabis are often the ones who stand to gain the most by being louder. I'm not under any illusion that I am changing the world though Edited September 13, 2023 by MidgeSmith 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashslag Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'm not sure I like having to sign up with my email or social presence to discuss it though... seems a bit 'bait' to me (happy to be proven wrong). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolz Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Is yougov still part owned by Nadim Zahawi ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgeSmith Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Yes I think so, though I think all the political parties and corporations use it. I don't mind putting my views down via VPN and private email. I totally understand why some wouldn't. Just making aware in case someone wants to and hadn't heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Makes me mad to think people in power actually enjoy telling folks what they can and can’t do in the privacy of their own home that has zero effect on them. What next, no ironing allowed on a Wednesday? fuck the polls, fuck this prohibition that I never consented to, fuck yougov fuck the hypocrisy and fuck anyone who thinks weed is worse than booze. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to part of that, but also fuck staying quiet about it and being cowed by them I say. They stole 6 months of my well-being a couple of decades ago and threatened my freedom. I won't be happy until they've had to stopped persecuting people for it. In my view, refusing to speak out about it is to comply and imply they are right. You can be sure as fuck that the arseholes who would censor and legislate against us don't stay quiet, which is why the poll suggests most people are not pro legalisation.

A lot of polls on yougov start out as private invitations, people are selected based on previous answers given in previous polls some of which they are paid to take part in, then the polls go live to all yougov members and the wider internet so I wouldn't put much faith in the results 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess depending on who is paying for this polls their technique will bend accordingly. I feel as everyone else does here that it is no the government's business. However, seeing as the last monarch saw fit to prosecute me due to years of government corruption leading to our current legal position, I've perhaps more reason than many to desire an end to that kind of interference. Grasping at straws it may be, but if you never give your opinion on a poll, you can't complain about the inferences taken from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Mix Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It’s probably Rishi Sunaks wife is looking to invest in cannabis same as Nadim Zahwani that’s why it be on the first page as they are all self serving creatures 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shot in the dark really as I know most of us know there is no moral and little health issue to the matter, just corruption between us and legality. All the same, for those of us beaten down before, it would be beautiful to be above ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
