Should cannabis be ________
 

Poll incoming x

Legalised tbh.

Yassss queen x

legalise it!

It shouldn’t have been illegal in the first place reee

I agree!

Legalised

It would be no fun if it was legal

Medicinal only.


But nobody should go to prison, or even to court for it.

Used for medicinal purposes but criminalised for rec. uses was my option (but noone should be imprisoned for using it..)

But not legalised so you can buy it at corner shop...

Legalised, alcohol has a worse effect on people than cannabis does

It does, but something that I think is worth remembering, is that there are more people with alcohol and nicotine addictions than ALL other drugs combined, and by a huge margin. And alcohol and nicotine are the only widely used legal recreational drugs. While cannabis is a pretty SAFE drug (doesn't make people aggressive and there are basically zero recorded cases of death from cannabis overdose) that doesn't mean it's totally fine. I mean the same can be said for nicotine. There are also massive issues with people driving while high... These days it seems to be even more common than drink driving (I constantly smell weed on people at work and then see them leave and get into a car, it's crazy).

So overall, I don't question the safety of the drug itself but I do question whether legalisation would lead to a massive upswing in those using, and those becoming addicted, is its seen as normalised like alcohol and tobacco (cannabis not being addictive is a completely false claim).


But it does have some incredible medicinal properties in all sorts of areas. So I guess I come down on the side of legalisation, but on prescription only. And in terms of recreational use, no arrests / charges for people using (which seems to be the unofficial status quo anyway tbf) and, for illegal dealers, probably no prison sentences etc. but I do think there should be charges and a hefty fine (ideally funnelled into addiction services).

I don't feel strongly on the issue, but went for legalised. I can be convinced otherwise, I've not looked too far into it.

Same here.

Should be bigger fines for it and jail terms, there is a clear link between it and mental health problems plus you break a cigarette to make one and smoke it without a filter.

people driving with canabis in their system is just the same as someone drink driving.

Even if it was legalised like alcohol it would have a regulated strength, so dealers would other stronger gear for those want a bigger hit.

I know a dick that was having the company van taken off him for testing positive to smoking canabis, I said can't you you give up it up?, he said I would not give up my weed for a job and this twat has about four kids with two woman that he does not support

AT LEAST Decriminalized

The hero we don’t deserve

Seriously why is alchohol legal and not weed lmaoao

get ha on CBB22 :clap1:

I don't understand that constant need to be sedated - be it alcohol or drugs. People are so obsessed with it and this all area is overrated.

Legalised absolutely.

It's dumb to have it criminalised when compared to other substances that aren't, but I just associate it with stinking chavs so idrc too much.

That's not true. I've driven drunk a few times as a youngster as I grew up in a rural area with nothing around, and I've driven loads of times stoned, and trust me; being drunk and driving is scarily dangerous. Being stoned and driving is nowhere near dangerous. I understand it has to be illegal because inebriation and handling potential death machines isn't a good idea, but they are in no way comparable.

I think all recreational drugs should be legalized, though the stronger stuff should be heavily regulated. Makes it much safer for the users as dealers cut it with some really dangerous stuff. Also would make it less 'exciting' for youngsters I reckon, as part of the thrill is becaue it is illegal.

Idk I’ve smoked it a good few times, most times I’ve been fine but a few months back I pulled a whitey. It was a similar feeling to the feeling when you’ve had too much drink BUT coupled with having really bad anxiety (I was at a train station thought everyone was staring at me, people were following me etc.) it just wasn’t pretty. So idk, I like doing it but after that rough time I’m scared how other people COULD react if they ‘pulled a whitey’ and they felt the way I did.

Well... Presumably it will still be illegal for youngsters, I can't imagine it would ever be legalised for under 18's and its not like alcohol isn't popular with teenagers...

In your drugged up state you think you are fine in the he same way drink drivers think they are fine, it's not big or clever.

I agree it's not big or clever but its also a different type of inebriation, you are more likely to be reckless with a drink in you and less aware of your mortality. However, even if cannabis was legalised (and I believe it should be), I think there should be zero tolerance when driving and I also believe there should be zero alcohol tolerance when driving too

There is no valid reason for it to be illegal, it has health benefits when it comes to a lot of physical and mental ailments and thus it's not really harmful compared to most drugs either, especially considering the likes of the opioid crisis in America where addictions to Legal painkillers is a huge issue. Weed just isn't addictive in the same way and that crisis would probably not exist to the extent it does now if Weed was completely legalised.

When you compare it to alcohol or smoking cigerettes then alcohol and cigarettes are always the more dangerous substances yet they are legal. Weed is only illegal because things such as the War on Drugs which was just a political vote grabber at heart that relied on people's ignorance and fear over facts.

If you have no problem with smoking or drinking then you can't have an issue with Weed without being a massive hypocrite.

For medicinal purposes only. The thought of it being legal for recreational use makes me really uncomfortable but I'll admit it's personal prejudice, I'm sure it's fine for a lot of people and they can handle it but I used to live with someone who couldn't and there were numerous incidents that were extremely disturbing (especially when he was drunk and high). It's a mind altering drug and alcohol might be as well so maybe it's a little hypocritical for me to not want the same for alcohol, but then it doesn't alter the mind in the same way so I don't think it's a direct comparison between the two anyway. And also it's not a comparison in terms of it being one or the other since alcohol is so ingrained in society, it's not the effect of alcohol compared to the effect of weed, it's the effect of alcohol compared to the effect of alcohol + weed (if that makes sense), if both were to become commonly used, like even if weed is generally less dangerous than alcohol it's still an added danger that I don't think is necessary and a line has to be drawn somewhere even with milder drugs.

Not skunk.That **** blows your head off and can cause sensitive people some mental issues.However i’d legalise and regulate nice clean bush and black and roccy for over 18’s.

Legalise weed but definitely disagree with legalising all drugs.

Had some drugged up scumbag demand to know what me and the girls will looking at and call us ***** today really aggressively for NO reason. I’m usually an outspoken person but even I was absolutely shook. We cannot have that on the bloody streets all the time!

I was going to say legalised for medical purposes, but people still abuse it even for medical reasons :facepalm: . So that's why I've put criminalise .

I know it's not as bad as heroine or the other harsher drugs ,but it still has side affects that mess with people's health .

It fookin stinks, so use it for medicinal purposes but illegal for the rest, can’t be walking down the street on the verge of vommiting bc of a bunch of dirty pot heads

I would of said same but they don't use it properly for medical purposes anyway . They still abuse it and rot their brain cells with it :bored: .

Cannabis is supposed to be used for herbal remedies and medicines to ease pain, but that's by drinking it or bathing in it . NOT by smoking it :nono: , it has no health benefits by smoking it .

If ur gonna incriminate weed incriminate alcohol cmon uk be consistent alcohol is probably even worse than cannabis

Hardly the same thing . Alcohol already has age restriction in shops anyway like with tobacco .

Works perfectly for my pain issues. Better than my morphine actually oddly enough.

Have only ever had it once though, on a day where I had no morphine and was in agony. Sisters boyfriend made me a joint with skunk..I felt really floaty but not recked as such, and my pain went away completely. I am seriously considering using it more regularly now
