Casinos in Fiji and possible sale of marijuana – how dare you Hassan Khan!

October 3, 2009

Bloggers, well now you have Hassan Khan, the Director for Human Services openly advocating for the lawful sale of marijuana to provide extra revenue for Fiji! He should be ashamed of himself and resign! I ask Khan, apart from his short sighted revenue making, what will it cost the tax payers of Fiji in terms of social and cultural denigration? Khan would not even dare saying the same thing in India or Pakistan. I cannot help but suspect some sinister motive to decimate the Fijian race and this kind of open advocating of legalizing an illegal substance, which is illegal in most part of the world is truly shocking.

I like to challenge you ‘silent ones’ do you continue to pretend all is okay in the heartland, where people in positions of responsibilities openly advocating the potential sale of marijuana or are you too stoned out of your head to think clearly?

Tui Savu.
President.

The Fiji Council of Social Services says a Social Impact Assessment must be done by a group of independent Fiji professionals before any decision is made on the setting up of Casinos in Fiji.

The Council of Social Services also welcomes the government’s desire to discuss the issue of Casinos dispassionately.

In a statement issued today, the Council of Social Services director Hassan Khan even suggests that while discussing the ideas of Casinos, Government should also consider discussing the sale of marijuana – which it says could provide extra revenue for Fiji.

Khan says while Government wishes to discuss the setting up of Casinos without religious, health or criminal fervor – they should also wish to discuss Marijuana production in the same manner.

    At least the calibre of these misfits has been totally exposed now, but I’m surprised that they aren’t selling their children for sex on the open market !
    I suppose that will be the next step, especially when you consider that they have prostituted themselves already !

    My Father used to say, do you notice that the countries that have legalised drug use, are the countries that are ” under developed ” !

    Good for a giggle, this guy was from Brisbane, so excuse the swearing.
    He didn’t understand that all he had to do was turn the water tap off and wait for a plumber, instead he chose to ring the Rheem Company, while it was shut for the weekend !:-

    If you needed further proof of the mental instability of the R otten F ijian M urdering F arce, have a quick butcher’s hook at this drivel.

    “”"”The [illegal and incompetent] permanent secretary in the [illegal and incompetent] Prime Minister’s Office Lieutenant Colonel Pio Tikoduadua has strongly refuted claims of human rights violations in Fiji.
    Speaking at the 10th anniversary of the Fiji Human Rights Commission, Tikoduadua stressed that no one has so far proven that their rights have been violated in anyway.”"”"”"

    The fool must be living in la la land. Surely a conviction of manslaughter is an acknowledgement of deprivation of human rights.

    kHAN has been in that position of his for too long! He is a real jinx! Someone rightly said an underdeveloped mind would certainly bring about the legalities of all that is illegal.

    What next Khan?

    Anyone who is honestly seeking th truth will quickly see the fallacy of keeping cannabis illegal. It has never caused a single death, and “is the safest therapeutically active substance known to man.” Administrative Law judge Francis Young, 1989.
    The time of ignorance is ending all over this globe. Blind obedience to corporate-controlled government fallacies is fading fast. Use your brain for a change and support the right thing to do rather than the party line.

    Good grief, Tui Savu, how shrill can you get? I can see the veins popping out on your neck and temple. Can you imagine that such a visceral reaction carries no intelligence with it? No reasoning, only pure gut reaction and rage just at the thought of something? Unfortunately that is what you suffer from. Instead of making mysterious allusiuons to some sinister motive, let’s look at some facts and keen observations. I’m quoting US figures, not Fiji, but that’s immaterial. The discussion is about legalizing marijuana so it’s all the same.

    There were 872,721 marijuana arrests in 2007, up 5.2% from 2006, with 89% or 775,138 arrests being for simple possession. With 15 million people using it regularly, imagine the cost to local, state and federal governments in putting not far from a million people through the system each year. Not to mention the criminal record bestowed upon over 750,000 people busted for simple possession. That arrest can devastate lives and futures, and for what? Not one person has ever died in the US from an overdose of marijuana. Ever. This was admitted by FBI Director Robert Mueller recently during questioning by senators in Washington, D.C. Look it up.

    Now, during now 70 years of pot prohibition, people have been dying of alcohol poisoning for decades on a regular basis from binge or overdrinking. I repeat, no one has EVER died from an overdose of pot. So explain to me why responsible adults are not allowed to make a clearly less dangerous choice for their mood enhancment?

    Gateway drug? Hardly. If at all it’s only because pot is illegal. Have to buy from a dealer somewhere? Maybe he’s got other things and he might offer you a sample. But if you can go to the corner store because it’s legal, you won’t be exposed to that dealer and his dangerous wares.

    Alcohol is directly responsible for a great many instances of physical abuse or assault. Overall you will find a significantly lower percentage of pot users exhibiting agressive behavior.

    So, to review cost, there is the large drain on tax dollars used for various areas of law enforcement, the courts; fewer police resources to concentrate on crimes of all types; the tax revenue not realized, the jobs not created, the criminal factions rendered impotent because what they sell is now legal; the lives saved from a reduction in drug violence; lower business costs for not having to drug test for pot; I could go on but I shouldn’t have to by now.

    This is what we have been doing to people for 70 years and look where we are. 15 million regular users and growing. Look at the alcohol deaths. Is this really how you want to continue? Do you really not get it at all?

    The diatribe above actually reads like the warped thinking of hairyarse.

    The fool must have sore a neck from constantly having to look over his shoulder for a potential national hero; one strike and your OUT !
