Cannabis in the City,
Streets and on Campus 2005 - 2019

In
Portugal, Cannabis is wrong.
Supply has
increased
Demand has increased
Consumption
has increased.
Variety in
consumers has increased,
Now,
consumers range from ages 12 to 70
Consumption
has outgrown the cities and reached the villages.
Consumption
increased at home, as well as at schools and in parks.
Increased satisfaction for those who believe that everything is alright. As such, all the
above has become a success.
It has
increased the ignorance of consumers.
Solidifies
the ignorance of consumed products.
Cannabis in Portugal
In Portugal, consumerism has made
Cannabis banal.
Generations change,
People grow up and die.
In this case, banality is
illegal.
What is now an illegal
cultural banality, will force its change
into a legal cultural
banality. Its legalization.
In past times, in different
cultures, Cannabis was not illegal.
But, due to its power on society, has been made illegal.
Again, because of the power it
holds, deeming it illegal became the only
response, both nationally and
internationally.
Culture and health may agree.
Culture and health may disagree.
They will always disagree when
knowledge threatens power.
And when knowledge collides
with power…..
But, when power diverges from
knowledge, it promotes ignorance and
obscurity, in order to legitimize power.
Knowledge is a threat to
power,
Ignorance preserves tyranny
and praises dictatorship.
“In the hands of the posh,
In university, its where you find quality.”
Legalization will solve the
illegalization.
It does not solve the
inadequacy in Education
It does not solve the
inadequacy in Prevention
The persistence with
misinformation on quality will aggravate reality.
Propaganda and lies do not know
limits.
Knowledge and truth have
recognized their limits by rejecting the lies.
Medical cannabis is not for chilling
It is checked, controlled and
for treatment.
It is for medical use.
Cannabis for chilling
is not for treatment,
It is unchecked, uncontrolled
and for fun.
It is for recreational use.
Not knowing the use of the
unknown, is to aggravate the risk.
Medical cannabis is checked
and controlled.
If administered with medical
responsibility, it serves as treatment.
It is not for fun.
Street cannabis is unchecked,
uncontrolled.
Recreational use, to have fun,
is for self-satisfaction.
It is not for treatment.
Portugal, 2001 – 2019
From ages 12 to 70, nothing comes
as a surprise
And if university is a school, the ignorance surrounding its
usage and quality is baffling.
Not knowing lack of control, aggravates the risk of falling
ill.
Who does not lie? The leader
or the patient?
CONSUMED IN ITS HIGHEST
QUANTITY
YET, UNCHECKED IN ITS QUALITY.

Cannabis Video]

2005 – 2019
From the Street to University
Thank you “João” for your
contribution to prevention.
From the video, think about what
“João” has told us
And its relation to
prevention.
PREVENTION:
Controlled Supply, reduction
of demand
Reduction of risks with
minimized damage.
Treatment and Recovery.
Thanks Carlota Pires
for your cooperation
