I, Ras Mozes, Chairman of the UNIA, want the legalization of Cannabis, better known as Marijuana for medicinal, industrial, agricultural, spiritual, religious and recreational use.

- People should be free to use Cannabis as a treatment for their different illnesses. Doctors should be able to prescribe it and pharmacies should deliver it on prescription

- Cannabis should be used as a tool for economical development by means of industrial production. The government will get a direct income through tax assessments. Foreign investors will come to Curaçao to develop businesses and factories all over the island. This will create a lot employment. For instance the production of clothes, bricks and houses, fuel for machines etc. Shops and warehouses with industrial Cannabis products will be opened, this will also create employment and a direct income for the government of Curaçao

- The cultivation of Cannabis in agriculture should be stimulated. The climate of Curaçao is very good for the cultivation of Cannabis crops. Cannabis don't need fertilizers and pesticides. The cultivation of Cannabis will improve the quality of the soil. Of course the government will get extra income through tax assessments.

- The use of Cannabis as a religious sacrament and the free use of Cannabis as a mean of meditation should be guaranteed. The freedom of religion should be respected ! Particular for members of the Rastafari movement and the Hindu-religion. In the Bible Cannabis is an essential part of the anointed oil, and is know as Kaneh-Bosm.

- The recreational use of Cannabis should be legalized just as the use of alcohol is legalized. The government should tax it the same way. Coffee-shops as we know it in the Netherlands will attract tourists and this will be an enormous stimulant for the local economy of Curaçao.

- Legalization of Cannabis will stop the enormous loss of revenues, energy and manpower as a result of the 'war against drugs'. The police-department could focus on real crime in stead. Precious prison cells can be used for the incarceration of real criminals.

Ras Mozes,

Chairman Fundashon Universal Negro Improvement Association African Community League

The momentum generated by this petition has prompted a response from key stakeholders in the local agricultural sector. I am currently finalizing a formal briefing document to present at an upcoming meeting with government representatives to discuss the economic viability of industrial cultivation.

I think alcohol is also a drug but because we can grow it at home its legal and its more dangerous than hemp. I'm not a smoker nor I want to but we know for a fact that hemp will help millions and its something natural. There is no need.to.fear nature and let mainstream media lie to us anymore make the research and learn. Lets hope we can be the ones that cures cancer anto so people around the world will come here for hope.

Ik ben eens met het legaliseren van wiet omdat het goeie voordelen heeft voor mij want ik rook liever dan dat ik alcohol drink alcohol ga ik dan erge koppijn krijgen als ik net iets teveel op heb en bij een joint dan weer niet
