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.

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.

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.

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...

Legalisation has never made alcohol or smoking less exciting to kids.

But alcohol & tobacco aren't the same as cannabis .

And cannabis stinks like toxic waste , and has no health benefits by smoking it . It's meant to be used as herbal teas or bathed in .

What are you facepalming?

Try reading my post in the context of the one I responded to.

I simply provided an argument that legalisation isn't going to change anything for the young kids and teens that are attracted to experiment with this stuff.

As someone else said, even if legalised, it's going to come with an age limit alongside cigarettes and alcohol so will still be "forbidden" to them.

But, my main point was that's not always the biggest attraction to kids. When I first tried it, it was simply the curiosity of what "drunk" and "high" actually feels like, rather than the feeling of doing something naughty.

I know what you're saying I'm not stupid .
I'm just saying people try to compare cannabis with alcohol & tobacco .
And people don't realise smoking cannabis has no health benefits ,it's not meant to be used that way .

A few people have tried cannabis and tobacco as a one off just to see what it's like as you say . And they either lost interest or didn't like it . And plenty have gotten drunk or had hangover the next day and regretted it .

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.

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.

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

Yeah,I smoked the skunky stuff for years.All diff types ‘white widow,’purple haze’ etc etc.
I never really found it that enjoyable.More of a smack you in the face kind of high.I much prefered the mellow buzz from a nice resin.Skunk probs did me a favour tbh and put me off smoking full stop.Felt much more alive after knocking it on the head.I don’t begrudge anyone smoking it or anything though.I still like the smell.I just don’t smoke it myself cos I don’t enjoy the feeling anymore.Too much of a good thing.

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 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 .

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 , it has no health benefits by smoking it .

I think only doctor should be able to prescribe, but the reality is it'll probably become legalized for recreational.

I actually don't support it at all. I think it will add even more mediocrity and problems to what we already have. I knew someone who used it at my job, and it was pretty obvious how high he was and he and the staff all used iirc and the boss was in on it too... customers would ask some of them to do stuff and he'd just stand there smiling. I don't understand how that is good for society... but keeping them in jail for extended periods of time over marijuana doesn't seem sensible either. It doesn't make them a criminal in my eyes, but it doesn't make it right either...

My friend who is chronically depressed claims it works so well for his issues, but he's getting it in things like drinks, etc(?). He's not really been prescribed it. I can't help but think that it's just placebo and because he's convinced it works...
