Do you think wearing designer clothes makes you look cool? Cause that really doesn't either.

Of course it does- people laugh at others if they're wearing crap/unstylish clothes ...

Alcohol is worse, and that's a fact.

Steroids is only as bad a smoking or drinking a few days a week unless you get a bad reaction...

but thats illegal and looked down upon..

Don't really get why some things are legal some not.

They shrink your willy as well :joker:

Also what some people don't realise with smoking is if you quit then your lungs can regenerate and almost go back to how they were before because you cough up the tar etc or whatever, but with alcohol any damage to your liver is permanent.

First bit very funny lol.

Secondly they don't shrink your willy everyone says that but they just reduce sperm count.

Tom, how awfully shallow of you... :P

Sam, it was a joke.. don't take it seriously... I already called you a label-***** in the pic thread.. figured you'd realise this wasn't meant in a bad way either..

Hannah, this post is spot on...

"On the marijuana argument, of course it's illegal for good reasons, but cigarettes would be illegal as well if the government didn't make so much money from them.
My mum's just given up weed, she's been smoking it every day for as long as I can remember, and she's fine. Her memory's a bit c**p, but other than that she has no health problems at all, let alone anything that could be related to it.
I think people need to realise that just because something's legal/illegal it doesn't make it hugely good or bad, a lot of laws are really out of date now, and I think it's a bit stupid not to do something just because it's illegal.
I know that sounds ridiculous, especially when it's about drugs, but I think people should make up their own minds about whether or not they should do something, and the only way you can make an informed decision on whether or not something's good for you or your life is to try it.

Having said all that, I don't smoke weed regularly at all, purely because it makes me feel like a complete moron, but in the right situation and with the right people it can be fun, the same as most other things.

ohh okie dokie then, sorrry :thumbs:

and then obviously it would die down

It needs to be put on prescription at least, as a form of tablet. People like my own mum could really use it as a pain relief.

Needs to be legal full stop! It's doing more harm being illegal, would we take paracetamol made in a illegal factory? No i don't think we would but the old out of date law is making people do so with what they smoke.
The drug needs to be legal, licenced and grown safely for use.. Right now its not so and doing more harm to those that use it, some of it is too strong and mixed with other stuff to make it stronger!
Tabacco is legal, alcohol is legal... If they was made illegal would people stop using? It would be pushed underground to fund crooks and do more harm to users!

Being legal will control the drug, educate people about the drug, take away the money out of the crooks pockets, will give the government more tax revenue to put back into the uk...
The law was used to make it illegal not to protect human health, other political reasons that are now in the past and out of date.

Making it legal will not bring the downfall of civilization and make the sky to fall down.
