As I've said the issue will be with skunk that won't be included in the legalisation ( most likely) due to the difference in the THC and CBD levels.

I've ignored your straw man debate because it has no bearing on the discussion. To be honest with you Cherie is right you can be insulting in your replies to those you disagree with.. me for one, this thread is just one example. I'm not reaching, making a desperate argument or ignoring anything you say... I just have my own opinion and I just don't happen to agree with your view.
The reason why I keep bringing up alcohol is because it's a much dangerous substance than weed yet it's legal. The skunk argument is the true strawman argument here. You've not been able to offer up one reason why weed should be illegal aside from what essentially boils down to 'some people might abuse it and grow skunk' which is no reason to ban it at all when, if you legalise it you can tax and regulate it and make the official stuff more preferable to the homegrown stuff.

Why can't this quote from your post also apply to weed if it was legalised? If it was legal to be sold then people wouldn't bother with the cheap homegrown stuff unless they knew what they were doing.

Your last paragraph as it's just another attempt to demean my argument by saying I've insulted you when I haven't because you can't win this debate by tackling the points I've made head on.

I've never insulted you, I said that the skunk argument as a whole was reaching and desperate. I never actually called you desperate or reaching, you just chose to interpret it that way so you could try to derail the thread by saying I was insulting you when you knew you couldn't win. Really, you and Cherie should apologise to me for trying take things off topic and insulting me because it's only you two that's guilty of the things you're branding me with.
