I've made claims and you have not been able to refute them at all, all you've tried to do is cast aspersions in order to deflect from the fact that you haven't got an argument.

I'll give you one last chance, I'll basically compile a brief overview of all my points to see if you can counter any of them without being evasive or resorting to any of your usual tricks.

Pros of Cannabis
- Less toxic then the likes of cigarettes or Alcohol. To overdose on Cannabis you have to smoke around a thousand joints in 10 minutes to reach fatal toxic levels which is pretty much impossible to do.
- It's a powerful painkiller that (leading on from my previous point) is impossible to overdose on and the side effects CAN be lesser than that of some prescription drugs.
- There's no recorded deaths attributed to Cannabis, there's thousands every year because of smoking and Alcohol.
- Partaking in it can actually help prevent the effects of a lot of diseases. Some of which include Alzheimer's, MS, Hepatitis, Epilepsy and Depression. There's plenty of other illnesses it helps with as well.
- Less addictive and generally safer than legal substances.
- Generally calms people down so there's less chance of Anti-Social behavior then there might be if someone was drunk.

I'm pretty sure I've made more points on the subject that I can't quite remember. The only negative that's been stated about it is the psychological aspect which other members have stated is down to bad growth which in countries where it's legal it isn't as much of a problem since there's guidelines and regulations involved that prevent legitimate stores from selling bad Cannabis.

A bad batch could mess with your mind, Home made beer that's incorrectly brewed can kill you.

No dezzy you are offensive!

You use cannabis with tobacco so the same risks apply...
Thats why prescription drugs are only available on prescription...and the advice states clearly with them there may be side effects, however it may be more detrimental to your health not to take them if you have a medical condition.
Again, you have to smoke to use cannabis ...the risk of death is the same.
It cannot 'prevent the effects' at best it may alleviate the symptoms as it relaxes muscles thats all..
You cannot suggest it is any more or less addictive than any other 'substance'
You may initially find it calms you down, fast forward 3yrs you are a paranoid wreck...what then?

Can we stop now?
I don't agree with the legalisation of cannabis
I'm sure I am not the only person in the UK.
