Cannabis

[Shaun]

Legalise it or not?

[first of a series of simple polls. Feel free to debate, I like my debates bitesize :tongue:]

[andyman]

They make it legal then they can tax the drug, make it safe and take the money out of the criminal pockets.

But still can cause mental health problems and is still smoking which can cause throat and lung cancer..

I say keep the laws the same, but illegal drugs are worse being illegal as they are made on the cheap, would we buy cheap illegaly made vodka???

[jaybitches]

I like grass i admit :P been stoned one or twice lol

[Fom]

It would be safer if it was legal like Andy said, for health problems it should be legalized as I know someone who could seriously use such a big pain relief. And to be honest it isn't that bad, it doesn't make you reckless like alcohol, and it only damages your brain if you start doing it every day.

[NettoSuperstar!]

I agree with legalizing it except for skunk. Skunk is geneticallly modified and the anti-psychotic properties found in natural cannabis is taken out and the stuff that can send you mental (TCH levels) is higher. Dangerous stuff for some, especially dangerous for young vunerable minds.

[pinkmichk]

legalise it

[Princess]

I don't know! Smoking and alcohol are just as bad for you. But we don't need any more drugs being legal really.

[Z]

I can see the point in taking the sting out of illegal sales of it by legalising it, but I don't really agree with legalising a mind-altering drug; I think alcohol's enough!

[30stone]

Keep it as it is.

It would be a casual thing and a lot more people would do it, and i can't stand smoking in general.

[Captain.Remy]

Legalize it only for medical purposes because it's been proven Cannabis helps a lot for people who are through cancer.

And we all love doing things which are forbidden. More exciting. :hugesmile:

[Stu]

It is funny watching the UK get itself in a twist about this whole Skunk emergency. What the tabloids dont realise is IF it were legal and the government controlled the supply, sale and distribution of it, their would not be any Skunk. If alcohol were illegal [remember how that turned out?] im sure their would be people up and down the country getting legless off smuggled in 80% proof whatsitcalleds.

Their really is not any two ways about it. Love Cannabis or hate it, if you legalised it tonight it would be safer tommorow. And thats a fact. Anything else is a vote for wasting police resource and spending money on locking up non violent potheads in cages built for rapists and murderers.

The bottom line really is if I smoke it in private and I dont damage anybody else - I want you to ******** off because it has nothing to do with you. Try and control other peoples lives, but im not into that ****.

What about Amsterdam? They have lower rates of teen smoking than us. Kids can get it now if they want too. Drug dealers tend not to ask for ID.

[lily.]

I'm with you Stu.

Legalise it completely.

Alcohol is far more dangerous than Cannabis, yet I don't see anyone getting their panties in a wad about making it illegal.

I can't stand the stuff, never have and never will touch it. But I think it might as well be legalised but if its moderated too ... its physically harmless (its all the crap in tobacco that does damage) and its probably just like getting drunk ... well not the same but you can see what I'm getting at? Plus if its not that bad now, then they're bound to have regulations meaning changes will be made it so its even safer anyway. And they could tax it too, I bet they'd make a fair bit.

Those who want to use it probably already do, its not that hard to get hold of, so I doubt there would be a significant increase in uptake of it.

[lily.]

haha... go for it Ben.. take the steroids if you want. And, if they eff you up, ye only have yerself to blame. Same goes with Alcohol, cigarettes, cannabis..

I'm not a fan of the nanny state. Once yer an adult, you should be able to choose what manner of sh!te you put into your body... and face the consequences of your own decisions (assuming there are any consequences).

You speak sense Tom, and you prove the point that even if it's made legal, it wouldn't encourage you to indulge in it.

People who think it would increase usage if it were made legal are living in a bubble.

[30stone]

Yes between all 4 you just said then theres not that much difference to the damage you do.
Steroids is said to be as dangerous as smoking 20+ cigarettes a week or somthing.
Though i don't wanna take em lol wanna get big naturally. :spin2:

So other people have to suffer job losses and seperation from their familys due to a law you support based on the philosophy of 'coz I dont like it'?

Yup.. that was basically my point .. you have the option if stuff is legal, and as an adult, you are capable of making a choice.

For that matter, you have the option if it's illegal too. lol

Cannabis itself can damage you about as much as a piece of lettuce. Its the tobacco (which is perfectly legal) which has all the chemicals in

Yeah, because most smokers run into police stations dressed as the joker with 'please arrest me' written on their bongs.

When a law against a substance does more damage than the substance itself, it creates a misjustice. Simple logic. And we have a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws. Martin Luther King.

Thats it in a nutshell. People in Europe just have a fixation with mixing tobacco in with their joints. I never saw the point in it. Also, 'gritweed' and 'soapbar' are flooding the market now. Soapbar being low quality hash mixed with everything from old vinyl records to Ketamine. Gritweed being bags of bud sprayed with glass filings and the same paint they use to paint lines on the road.

All this because of prohibition. The law makes Cannabis a dangerous drug. Theirs no two ways about it.

We dont have police stations here. We have buildings with a few 'shades' in them who set up sheep crossings and whatnot, but the law here is a bit like ''ah gwan, just dont let us see you, sure jaysus!''.

[NettoSuperstar!]

...and I'll just add I was a cannabis smoker for years. I only stopped because A/ I had children and didnt want them growing up thinking cannabis smoking is the norm (as I did) and B/ All there pretty much is on the market is skunk and I find the stuff evil...and Ive seen what it can do to people who have got some mental health issues! And C it does turn you into one lazy muthafookA!

If legalizing it could ensure only 100% natural cannabis was sold then all good

So you accept that Cannabis is on an equal level with Heroin in terms of danger to society? I suppose you also agree with making Alcohol class A, considering it is a far more dangerous drug than Cannabis? In fact, by your 'logic', if Cannabis were to be class A, a class AAA should be made specifically for booze.

Give it time, it is something everyone has to try at least once in their life. In the form of a spliff or a spacecake, most people have a go.

But should people who try be considered criminals despite the fact that they were only experimenting with their own bodies with a plant that grows straight from the ground? You cant regulate thought or nature like that.

If you constantly take it it should be considered a Class B.

If you take it a lot it can't kill you, but will make you very unaware and you could die by behing hit by a car for example.

I could imagine the whole thing turning out horribly wrong if one were to eat a space cake for the first time. Weed gets way stronger when it is ingested and lasts far longer too. Your talking about a minor psychedelic experience. Or staring at your hands for eight hours. Depending which spin you want to put on it :tongue:.

If Amphetamine was legal then it would be bye bye fat people.. But loads of skinny people rushing around talking sheeeet! Yapyapyap! Blah blah.. BLAH!!!

Thats a very poor argument, in my estimation. Especially considering it is based on speculation. Is their figures to support stoners who wander out on to busy streets? When you smoke tha ganja you dont exactly lose your vision. You would be more likely to stumble in front of a car when your pissed.

Besides, stumbling in front of a car and getting yourself killes makes you a ****ing idiot, not a criminal. Idiots go in the ground, they dont waste taxpayer money by being kept in cages made for murderers and child molesters.

Never had a space cake personally, there used to be some in my fridge when I was younger, I just knew them as the cakes I weren't allowed to eat haha. They weren't for pleasure though, my mum ate one every time she had overwhelming pain. Maybe if it gets stronger... put less in :P

Which... saves money! Great idea!

True, their great for money saving and for medicinal use [eating is obviously safer than smoking].

[hannah.]

I do think it should be legalised apart from fact that if it is 90% of people would be stoned constantly for the first year lmao

my mum's smoked for as long as i can remember, and swears the reason I was such a quiet baby was because I'd been stoned constantly in the womb

[Z]

My only objection to cannabis is the passive smoking aspect of it; you do feel the effects of it if someone else is smoking it nearby. However, I genuinely don't understand why it's banned, I've never smoked cannabis and I've no intention of smoking cannabis, but as demonstrated in earlier posts from Stu, alcohol is more dangerous than cannabis. Sure it can maybe cause health problems; but so can excessive drinking and excessive cigarette smoking; if people do these things in moderation then they're not going to be a statistic.

[Nurse57]

Like the thing above your pic Fom.

One of the arguments people use to keep canabis banned is that they say it is a gateway drug. In other words you will move on to harder stuff.

This may well be true as you have to buy from a drug dealer at some point in the chain. They will offer you ccocaine, smack, LSD, XTC and so on. If you bought your blow from a shop then you would not be offered the harder stuff.

I personaly started on class A and worked my way down to a point where I may have the odd smoke at a festival. Alcohol has been the one constant over the years and I am sure it has done me more harm in the long run than anything I may have experimented with over the years.

I don't care other people doing it, but myself?
I'm 100% against smoking any sorta ****.
I hate cigarettes too, you'll never, ever, find me with one in my hand, let alone a spliff.

I know people say Never Say Never, but I know myself, and I know I never will.
Always hated, still hate it, always will.
Besides; I'm too stubborn to give in anyway haha.

[Enid]

Hate cigarettes but I have the odd spliff from time to time.

Marijuana should be legalised, but under strict regulation and dose/usage should be moderated in the same way as alcohol and smoking in public.

I don't even know what exactly cannabis is. I would certainly try it though.

[fruit_cake]

I they should legalise it, it would save a lot of trouble

[joeysteele]

I have read all the posts on here and can agree with them all as to most of the content. I steer clear of any drugs, have never seen the need for them, I have problems taking prescribed medicines when I am ill never mind other things.

However, I have also talked to a wide range of ages of people as to legalising drugs and cannabis in particular, while it's true cannabis can affect mood and cause paranoia plus increase mental problems, overall in moderation it is a drug that is neither positive or negative as to other organs in the body,also, I knew of someone,(a friends Uncle), who had cancer and was in massive pain,he said the only thing that relieved his pain was cannabis,the prescribed drugs were near useless.

Perhaps the danger of legalising cannabis is that people may move on to stronger drugs rather than stay with that one but I feel overall,it is worth a go at it. It would remove the dealers in part at least and addicts would be able to get it legally, maybe the cost would be less too and of course the Govt could rake in taxes from it too.
However, whether addicts would buy it if it were legal is another danger in that they may not want to be identified so then move onto stronger drugs.

It's a hard question to answer one way or another,the grey area is quite large as to it but they play around with drug classifications a lot anyway so perhaps legalising it for a time to see what happened would be a good thing to try even for a limited time.

It probably does slightly less harm than smoking loads of cigarettes daily and certainly for the whole overall health aspects of the effects of alcohol it would do a lot less damage than a lot of alcohol daily too.

As I said,I wouldn't even try it but I can see all sides on this one.

Though I would never take it myself, I'm all for the legalisation of cannabis. If the government were to control it and it's strength rather than let some dealer in a back alley would make give me solace in the fact that I've seen what the stronger stuff can do - my brother smoked it for a few years and it pretty much made him stop caring about work and stuff, all he cared about was getting high.

If the government controlled it and had it at a standardised strength it'd be much better imo. Also all the money that goes into the underground drugs industry would probably end up funding a bunch of other crimes too so it'd be killing two birds with one stone I guess.

If they did make it legal it would most likely be ridiculously expensive. So people would either grow their own or go to dealers anyway

[Stu]

No it wouldn't. Even with tax it's a filth cheap crop to produce. How many people do you know who buy bootleg booze off the back of trucks because it's cheaper? Largely it just doesn't happen. People will pay for a clean, consistent source of weed. After all they're willing to pay for contaminated, inconsistent weed with an added mark up price by greedy, unscrupulous dealers.

It wouldn't be government produced bud sold in Tesco anyway. I can see it being decriminalised as opposed to legalised. It's a question of when not if. It will more than likely work like it does in Amsterdam, California etc with shops and dispensaries being allowed to sell a self grown supply.

Regular smokers with the time and space would probably opt to grow it of course.

[InOne]

Yeah but like I said, if you grow it or have mates who grow you're still most likely go to them. And I just think they would tax it insanely like they do cigs and booze. But everyone is different I guess, can't speak to the masses. I guess the people who would most benefit is people who smoke because they have Cancer, then they wouldn't have the worry.

I took taxing it insanely into account when I said "even with tax it's a filth cheap crop to produce". Cannabis in a tolerated marketplace would be either cheaper or roughly the same price as it would be in it's current position of trade. You can get better quality, cheaper dope in countries where it's sale is permitted than what you can get in the U.K.

And even if people grow it loads and loads you make it sound as if it's difficult to make money off Cannabis. The government already make dough off it from taxed, legal seeds. You could introduce a card/license system you have to pay for in order to grow it.

You would still see millions and millions anyway being made from those who would rather just purchase it from vendors. And that's not even going into the money the government would save not playing this endless, fruitless game of chase with the drug and it's use. The negating the need for human trafficking, theft of electricity, destruction of homes, hijacking of neighbourhoods by violent gangs etc that all come along with criminal grow ops.
