Default Should weed (cannabis) be legalised?

Everyone knows weed is better for you than alcohol. And yet alcohol is legal and weed is not..

Yes, my grandma suffered terrible arthiritus, I used to make her space cakes for the pain...I told her it was a herbal remedy, feel quite bad for lying, but it did her the world of good. Lots of people I know use it for pain relief, I dont think its fair that they 'could' be arrested for finding their own remedies, that work, instead of taking tablets from the doctor that usually make you worse.

Everyone who wants to use it already does, its not exactly hard to get hold of. If it was legalised it could be properly regulated and they'd be able to make it safer.

I still wouldn't touch the stuff though

yes in a way it should. If they just legalised it, at first loads of people would want it and then it would eventually just die down, if you get me lol

It's arista's most-used suffix, it seems to translate as "IMO".

alcohol damage is reversible if it isn't excessive but weed can screw your brain up, and the way most people taking it (smoking) causes damage in itself

As suggested doctors prescribing it for people seems good. I tried it a couple of times.

Last time I didn't like it at all, I felt weird and everywhere seemed strange. It was scary.

I think I have one of those brains that doesn't agree with it.

They illegallised it to persecute the Rasta's.

Now its illegal, they gotta leave it illegal or all sorts of **** will will off. If they make it legal then ASDA will start sellin it, and make better deals (Great for you smokers), then the shotta's - thus puttin them outta business, so then to get there money they either gotta start other crime, robberies etc (Crime rate up) or start sellin suttin harder (Harder drug abuse goes up), as an overall effect its a no win. Theres some hood econimics for you.

Plus 99% if the the people in this country dont understand it or use it right. I dont ****s with weed, only herb.

I cant believe so many people are saying no.. I think people associate weed with harder drug's and assume it must be adddictive and worse than cigarettes.

I think the best argement so far has been about its effect on the economy but even still if its introduced correctly I dont see it having that bad of an effect. As for health problems: http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/cann...vs_alcohol.cfm
