Not much point I worrying about physical issues such as cancer if people are going to suffer with long term mental health issues including dementia. The dementia may well get them first.
Again, if you legalise it you can remove the risk of tainted batches by introducing standards and regulations regarding it's production. Cannabis as a whole is dramatically safer than the legal alternatives such as alcohol.

To use fringe cases as an argument against legalising it when they wouldn't exist if it was legalised is quite silly.

But in this highly hypothetical situation, if libdems win, then the people would have democratically voted for brexit to be revoked? So why would they start a war over democracy?

Alcoholism is awful of course but you can't supervise every person that wants to have a drink just because some people become addicts

The cost of commercial cannabis, even with added tax, is going to be considerably lower than what we presently pay.
Jesus Christ the prices have gone up since i used to smoke it.
Used to be £15 an eighth or £20/25 for skunk.

Your argument is quite weak if you aren't willing to acknowledge that alcohol and cigerettes are far more dangerous. There's more violent incidents when it comes to alcohol and both cost the NHS millions in long term treatment for liver and lung related illnesses.

Cannabis is far more safer than alcohol and cigerettes, the only difference between them was that the former was made illegal purely for political motivations rather than health and safety related reasons which would now be void given the vast amounts of research which support the fact that Cannabis is safer to consume than it's ilk and offers a crap ton of health benefits.
Well thanks for the diagnosis, but the only physician I listen to, is Dr Feelgood.

You can't beat a good bit of nostalgia - especially music.

I know, its crazy but there's nothing to stabilise the market. The numbers of people smoking cannabis is huge in relation to the amount that can be made in this country. Once its regulated, the price will drop dramatically and people will be able to purchase a better standard of cannabis leaf.

I say "leaf" because I don't think we should be legalizing skunk.
