In this episode of the podcast I get to speak with Steve Harrison and Trev Coleman of the seed our future campaign.   "The Seed our future Campaign is a national movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to bring about mass awareness to the unsubstantiated and unfounded laws and regulations surrounding the Cannabis plant and how this affects us all Just one act of autonomy and compassion can create a catalyst for change. We must remember that it is us who have the power, not the powers that be. Together, we can stand tall, speak with truth and sow the seed of hope."  Seed our future produced a great report called 'No Evidence no Crime'  and it was written by Guy Coxall, Trev Coleman and Steve Harrison with contributions from Alun Buffy, Phil Monk, Mandy Tusz, Victoria Lenormand and Dr Orfhlaith Campbell. ( https://www.seedourfuture.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/10/Cannabis-and-the-Law-No-Evidence-No-Crime-MASTER-v1.3.pdf )  Trev was one of the authors to the seed our future report that is challenging the legitimacy of the UK laws around cannabis and only a few weeks ago the police stole his cannabis plants after he had called them because of 4 men breaking into his house. He is now suing the police involved and has requested the following from the which to date have not been provided by the police or UK courts.   1. FOUNDATION EVIDENCE for the claim that all genus of cannabis meets the currently accepted criteria for a schedule 1 substance in its raw form.  2. FOUNDATION EVIDENCE for claim that cannabis is a 'controlled' substance in the UK and who is making that claim of control.  3. FOUNDATION EVIDENCE for misuse.  It will be very interesting to see how this plays out and I really hope these campaigners can achieve what they are setting out to do as it will be huge if they do.   If you want to learn more or get involved head over to https://www.seedourfuture.co.uk/  Steve also works with https://www.flora-fusion.com/ who sell some really amazing looking CBD products in Scotland if you want to check them out.   If you would like to support the show and the development of the Cork Cannabis Activist hub the patreon is www.patreon.com/martinsworld  For BitCoin donations follow this link https://checkout.opennode.com/p/597e0e1d-ede6-47be-8d83-854c4237b06e    Timestamps  1.41 Interview starts  3:00 Trev tells me he is an author of the "Seed our Future" report and how he went about creating the document  5:45 I ask Trev about the recent raid in his house where his cannabis plants were taken by the police.  10:15 The 3 question defense of "Seed our future" 15:50 Cannabis related deaths?  18:10 John Ehrlichman admitted they were going to lie about the harms of drugs in the war on drugs 24:10 The First law in the UK for Cannabis required farmers to grow it put in place by Henry VIII 28:00 The Seed our Future Silver Bullet  31:10 Henry Ford and the Model T 32:30 Alcohol Prohibition and how it hindered the bio-fuel industry 36:40 What advice would you give a person who is representing themselves in court and they want to challenge the charge? 41:30 Explaining the 3 questions top be asked in the Seed our Future campaign.  45:50 I ask Trev about the charges he is pressing against the police 50:30 I ask are seed our future campaigners going to engage in some civil disobedience protests. 56:40 How Prohibition increases the harms of drugs 1:03:05 The never ending war on drugs 1:05:30 If your arrested for cannabis challenge the charge, don't take the deal  1:10:30 The worse part of being caught with cannabis 1:12:10 Trev thanks the cannabis community for their support since he was raided.  1:17:00 Final Farewells and also the beginnings of the plan for a trip to Liverpool to the Chillin Rooms.
