Australia parents could face a jail term of 12 months and have their children put in state care simply for growing just one marijuana plant in the nation’s toughest drug laws.

Amendments to WA’s Misuse of Drugs Act passed on Friday mean people convicted of cultivating a single cannabis plant or processing the drug where a child has suffered harm will face a 12-month mandatory prison term.

The people convicted of a second offence where they were growing just one plant or processing it – hanging it to dry or rolling a joint – face a mandatory jail term of six months if it is proved they endangered a child’s health by exposing them to the activity.How can exposing Children to Marijuana plants harm them when it is one of the most least harmful substances on the Plant earth which has been used as a medicine for 40.000 years or more

“See the propaganda just keeps spewing out most likely funded by Big Pharma as long as they keep getting payed off they force these laws on to us ”

Example parents could be jailed for 12 months if a child is being exposed to fertilizers or pesticides, cutting themselves on gardening equipment, or knocking over an enclosure or pot containing a marijuana plant that subsequently injures them.And what about the genetic Damage Monsanto is causing us thru GM Food & pesticides ?

The draconian laws are a far cry from just a year ago, when cultivation of up to two cannabis plants for personal use resulted in a $150 fine and drug counseling.

While the new laws are designed to target the growing number of potentially explosive methamphetamine and other drug labs in WA – 177 were busted last year, with 44 found so this year – they also target those who “cultivate or prepare illicit drugs” – meaning growing or handling small amounts of cannabis plants.

Police Minister Rob Johnson’s office confirmed to AAP that while it was “unlikely” small-time cannabis users and growers with children would be jailed under the new provisions, there was still a risk.

“If the children are exposed to dangerous chemicals and safety hazards as a result of the cultivation or are injured by the cultivation, the new provisions could be applied,” a spokeswoman from Mr Johnson’s office said.

“What about the Fluoride in the water and Mercury in the vaccines will the people promoting that go to jail as well ”

She denied that in the event a child was harmed through cultivation or use, parents would be less likely to seek medical attention for fear of being sent to prison

A spokesman for the WA Law Society warned the new mandatory jail terms were open to abuse, as they removed any discretion in sentencing.

“You might even find that where the judicial system does not agree with a mandatory jail term for a small-time cannabis grower and user, there will be a reluctance to prosecute or convict,” the spokesman said.

“As it stands, the punishment would certainly not fit the crime and would appear to be excessive.”

WA Opposition Leader Mark McGowan said he disagreed with the new provisions – even though Labor voted for them.

“Personally, I wouldn’t like to see people go to jail, mandatory, if they’re growing a couple of marijuana plants – even though we support laws to ensure that is made an offence,” he said.

Opposition police spokeswoman Michelle Roberts later told AAP her party didn’t want to be seen as being “soft on crime” and had tried to amend the legislation to remove mandatory jail terms for cannabis users and growers.

It was under the previous Labor government that personal cannabis use and cultivation were decriminalised – only for the present Liberal-National government to overturn the laws.

The Opposition has previously said the Government’s hard line is driving cannabis users towards harder drugs and organised crime.

Mrs Roberts said the new laws contained “obvious injustices”.

“It won’t stop drug cultivation – there’s no evidence to suggest that,” she said.

“What it’s going to do is wrap up a whole lot of people unwittingly into a situation where they are facing a mandatory jail terms.”

Former Heart Surgeon: While some people are on a daily dose of aspirin to lower the severity of problems after a heart attack or stroke, Allen said marijuana is a better alternative.

“Eat a bud a day will keep the stroke away,” Allen said. “No other medicine made by man can help in this manner.”

Lyrics:

CHORUS 1

Imagine a world we could live in
Plant these seeds in the minds of our children
Plant these trees and grow a solution
Hemp can heal the world
Imagine a world we could live in
Plant these seeds in the minds of our children
Plant these trees and grow a solution
Hemp can save the world

VERSE 1

George Washington grew hemp Even the declaration of independence was made on hemp paper
Thomas Jefferson had hemp fields
Let me tell you all things organically grown hemp yields
Jack Herrer tried to tell us the news
We can even use the seeds to improve our foods
Build homes in the future made straight from hemp
No heat bill cost so we save on rent
Freewill in the mix hemp shirt hemp kicks
Keep my gear earth conscious let’s go down the list
Its fibers are the strongest, products last the longest
Change our whole infrastructure, hemp will never wrong us
Obviously it’s the plant that can raise our whole economy
If we open our minds to see
Build ya house insulated organically
That’s real talk homie
That’s no fantasy
Plant the seed
We got a world to feed
Grow hemp everywhere all the food you could ever need
Oil fiber medicine and paper
Banning cannabis was the world’s biggest caper
Strong, durable, long-lasting, natural
Renewable botanical growing every annual
Hemp can save the Planet
All you got to do is plant it
Wanna see it growing up from the cracks in the granite

CHORUS 2

Imagine a world

Hemp can heal the world
Imagine a world
No more hunger
Imagine a world

We grow stronger
Imagine a world
Hemp can save the world

VERSE 2

Let’s take it back, back, back
to 10 G BC
World’s oldest relic,
Hemp cloth from the Chinese
Over 50,000 uses you see, like the fuel and steel that made Henry Ford’s Model-T
Greeks, Phoenecians,
High Priests and Priestesses
From Asia To America
Hemp sails the high seas
Billion Dollar Cash Crop
Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Flip the Greenhouse Effect
The atmosphere is hot
I got my hat, shirt, pants, all made from hemp
Even the shoes on my feet staying ECO fresh!
Raw food be the movement I eat the seeds
Great source of protein and Omega 3′s
It’s the most nutritious, plus so delicious
Put it in my vita mixer in my green smoothie
We was given every seed bearing plant on earth
Genesis 1:29 check the verse
Grow a true field of dreams, tall and green
This one crop be used for everything
Hemp milk have a sip, taste buds feel the bliss
Get a hemp note pad, take notes on this
Regenerate the earth, create new work
Build ya karma points, and ya net worth
Freely I support hemp, listen for the quote
Keep it cool like, Dr Bronner’s peppermint soap

CHORUS 3

Imagine a world we can live in
Plant these seeds in the minds of our children
Plant these trees and grow a solution
Hemp can heal the world!
Imagine a world we can live in
Plant these seeds in the minds of our children
Plant these trees and grow a solution
Hemp can save the world!
