If you have arrived onto this page from an external link or search engine, the material below will make no sense whatsoever unless you know why this site was created. A very brief summary can be read by clicking here

This globally popular educational and research website (stolen from www.12-12-12.org) lists every national and international problem in the world in a rather unusual and entertaining way, so remember to bookmark www.harryrings.org in your favourites folder! For the record: Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings has decided to take over the World because it is in a mess. He has decreed that by December 12^th 2012 there will be global peace and no more poverty. Stop doing what you were going to do today and read on.................

Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

Illegal "soft" drugs such as Marijuana that are not a major problem in Sovereign states where they are banned, should remain criminally illegal. If this is the will of the local population, let it be. The same applies to alcohol which is banned in certain tribal regions.

Nevertheless, I have decided that Marijuana, commonly known as "grass" (not to be confused with its stronger counterpart "Hashish") should be legalised as soon as possible to avoid paperwork and save law enforcement time. I go so far as to decree that Sovereign states should control and tax the distribution of Marijuana in the same way tobacco and alcohol is taxed. In the UK the Inland Revenue can take the lead in taxing the distribution of "grass", in the USA - the IRS can undertake the task.

I direct coffee shops be licensed and taxed to sell certain non-hard drugs. With such a licence will come responsibility and rules.

In tribal regions where Marijuana is considered a problem, I don't want to hear one word of descent from anyone in authority who regularly smokes tobacco and considers it socially acceptable to be regularly intoxicated (drunk) with alcoholic beverages.

(Memo note to myself: Get the DTI in the UK to complete a report for my approval)

Memo note to myself: Avoid sharing His Greatness' body when going to Colombia for a holiday or future "Presidential visit".

New Scientist.com http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/marijuana/	Only one thing is certain about the great Marijuana debate: whether you are a prohibition-mad politician, or a stoned ex-hippy who would like to dish out the drug for free, you are likely to have a lot more opinions than facts.
Prohibition: The So-Called War on Drugs http://www.cia.com.au/serendipity/wod.html	The high-tech industry, from personal computers to Internet entrepreneurs, is full of people who make big bucks, smoke fine weed, and look the other way while thousands continue to be jailed. Tobacco, alcohol, and crack take an enormous toll, but America has been mesmerized by a remarkable propaganda campaign that has demonized the use of soft drugs such as Marijuana and psychedelics.

Ponder............
It will take an average person 12 hours to read and understand the contents of this website and listen to 'The Speech'. Is one hour a day for 12 days too long? Why don't you email the www.12-12-12.org link to 12 of your friends and discuss their opinions in 12 days time? Maybe the 7th person in your email chain can break the secret code and the 12th person, may hold the key to World Peace. Are you or someone in your family the 7th or 12th person?
