Raise funds for displaced migrants

Our government has decided to act on the current 'migrant' crisis which is due to people power through petitioning/campaigning, putting pressure on unwilling politicians to take the necessary action and provide these people with support they desperately need. I am so proud of the people of Britain for standing up and making themselves un-ignorable in this situation.

HOWEVER,

This won’t come without great cost to Britain, where will the money come from to accommodate these terribly unfortunate people? We still have growing numbers of homeless on our streets, our NHS is still suffering and many are still unemployed.

Usually to cover the cost the government would issue welfare reform (cuts) and/or raise taxes.
We've been on that merry-go-round for far too long and it only adds to poverty and suffering.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN!

If we look to America, in states where marijuana produce has been legalised (Colorado etc), they are metaphorically swimming in cash, with thousands of new jobs, a whole new multi-million dollar industry re-introduced into their society and we can have that too!

Since Colorado became the first state in the US to allow people to trade marijuana-produce legally, from January 2014 the state took in $53 million in tax revenue in its first year!.

That’s just one state. Imagine the money that could be raised in the UK, imagine what help that could do, a whole bunch of surplus cash from an inexpensive plant that grows in dirt..

The demand is definitely there for cannabis based goods, so why not end prohibition? Use the funds we make through taxation of cannabis-produce to help wherever we can, to provide opportunity wherever we can.

OUR HOMELESS CAN BE HOUSED,
THE UNEMPLOYED CAN RECEIVE TRAINING AND BECOME EMPLOYED,
WE CAN ACCOMODATE DISPLACED 'MIGRANTS'
OUR NHS CAN RECIEVE THE FUNDING AND SUPPORT IT NEEDS,
WE CAN CREATE MORE JOBS, MORE INDUSTRY.
WE CAN GROW, WE CAN PROSPER, TOGETHER!

P.s A petition for cannabis legalisation was considered not long ago by our government, after receiving over 200,000 signatures, the response from government wasn't that which we'd hope for. you can see the governments’ response here:

Lets not take no for an answer.
Lets remind them of the good this reform would do for our country and our people and those fleeing war-torn countries
The benefits legalisation are too good to ignore, It’s time for change!

PLEASE SEE THE GOOD IN THIS AND SIGN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
