We need to come up with some catchy slogans and slick infographics showing an LPs true cost of production, all of the recalls and class action lawsuits, pesticide usage, irradiation, GARBAGE quality, the political and police connections of these companies, the complete FAILURE of the liberal government in allowing non violent cannabis users to continue being arrested and jailed up to 2 years after being elected.
we also need fliers explaining the application process and all the benefits of ACMPR and medical patient status i.e. plant count, possession limits, COST and QUALITY of growing vs GARBAGE. mostly for manitoba and quebec where they are trying to deny the right for homegrown rec weed but the entire country could benefit from becoming a medical patient.
i am not skilled with photoshop or much of a writer/artist, but i will print out thousands and stick em up EVERYWHERE and stand in front of the government stores handing out applications for FREE medical clinics EVERY DAY until they realize their system will fail
Yes, IMO a lot needs to be told which still fails to get properly conveyed by mass-media press, TV and even radio… Not to mention there are difficult choices to make as to what’s a priority message.
Trudeau can afford 15 minutes interviews on CBC/SRC (etc…) but i would expect OUR own voice needs to be much more concatenated, like 15 ~ 30 seconds instead, which i believe to be an easier task when relying on the same subjective emotions exploited by a multitude of self-serving politicians since some extravagant anti-cannabic bigotry of the Victorian age (recently Lucie Charlebois and her out-of-control hungry grand-children, for example!)…
« …my neighbour grows it. If my grandchildren go to my neighbour’s house and inadvertently get into the marijuana plants and eat them… »
Sometimes i’ll say just destabilizing the reader may work better than complex factual information, for example:
N.B.: the addition of the word “pesticide” juxtaposed with LP names would have enhanced it 10-fold compared to this:
Which is a strategy calling for typical denial behaviour from those who happen to be TrudeauMania fans, while the previous sample may still manage to capture the imaginations of voters who already started to doubt and/or can’t be bothered with long reflexions anyway. Compared to “prohibition” vs “legaleezation” vs “recreational” things it’s easier to remember only 1 word, like “vilification” which ain’t in the collective abused/banalized vocabulary just yet: put briefly i argue that consumers want to be entertained with fresh persectives but also avoid excessively involving brain effort.
