I don't believe skunk is harmless, will this be included in the legalisation?

Well it goes without saying so I don't know why you bring this up when I covered it in the last page. If it was legalised it would also likely be heavily regulated in terms of how it's made and distributed just like Alcohol and Tobacco is, even more so really, given that it would have been a previously illegal drug.

Of course it doesn't stop people from growing their own skunk but then would you want to ban alcohol because some people will brew dangerous batches at home? Of course not. It's reaching and it's a desperate argument overall.

There's no real reason why weed should remain an illegal drug. Any argument against it applies doubly so against Tobacco and Alcohol.

I'm with you all the way on this one.

It's a debate... I offer my point and you yours, my view isn't reaching or desperate.
It wouldn't address the substance which is the root of the problem with the production of cannabis in the UK then? Seems not so how is this going to be the big solution to the cannabis issue .. it isn't.

Again, how is it any different to homebrewed alcohol? You've conveniently ignored that in favour of one line that doesn't even have any bearing on the discussion because you know you can't argue against it.

You're making the skunk issue bigger than it actually is because it's the only point you have and, like all anti-weed arguments, it applies more to alcohol and tobacco than weed.

The isn't about alcohol though :/
That is legal and people can get high strength alcohol very cheaply in stores.. that's why people don't all fork out for the equipment to brew hooch.
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.

I've yet to hear a valid argument against legalising it.

[LukeB]

my friend says she doesn't want to do weed because it's really bad but I see her drinking and getting pissed every weekend and smoking cigarettes. It's fine she doesn't smoke weed but I just don't understand why she does drinking/smoking cigarettes since she said weed is bad for people when cigarettes can give you cancer and things and alcohol can damage your liver/kidney w.e

[lily.]

Yup. There seems to be a lot of anti-weed people who are happy to fill their bodies with cigarettes and alcohol.

[the truth]

when booze was banned and later legalised.....the difference in boozing fell massively, though crime such as bootlegging rose. make of that what you will

[lostalex]

cannabis for ALL!

they should pump cannabis smoke through the air vents in every building.

lostalex - you are more extreme then me - i would not go that far

Yet another debate ruined because views are not respected and countered with proper argument but the usual insults..but that's another thread I guess

I'd say baiting comments like yours that actually add nothing to the debate run the risk of ruining it more than anything anyone else has said so far.

Just expressing a view, you need look no further than yourself for baiting and constantly insulting members while you hide behind your mod status

Yup. I would agree with this.

It's kinda the norm around here.

sounds good.

[lostalex]

i really don't understand how this is such a long thread. weed is being legalized, get over it. i don't know why anyone can be against it.

its the year 2015. people that smoke weed don't hurt anyone else, let them smoke!

it's stupid to me to spend more tax payer's money on putting people in jail just for smoking weed. so stupid. leave the pot heads alone! let
s use our tax money for better things, please!

i don't like smoking weed, i think it's stupid, i think it makes people act stupid and sound stupid.... but i certainly don't think we should be wasting money on putting them in jail! They are harmless.

[lostalex]

i can think of plenty of people that should be put in jail, marijuana smokers is not at the top of my list though. it's a total waste of resources to keep criminalizing those people.

Only people with little or no real experience of weed seem to be against legalising it.

Not everyone who has ever touched cannabis is a junkie. That's the same as me saying that everyone who has ever had a drink in their life is an alcoholic. I am pro legalisation by the way- alcohol is incredibly damaging to people's physical and mental health, and costs the NHS billions- cannabis use carries much less risk and they only reason I think alcohol and tobacco are still legal is the amount of money the government earn by taxing these substances.

yes you have your petty play on words whilst the country falls apart with record drug related crime....and of course only drug takers are allowed an opinion on drugs under the liberal loony left ? and of course because people are allowed to get drunk off their faces lets allow them to get drugged up to their eyeballs too , yes that will help? the usual insane moral relativism of the loony left. booze should have a far higher minimum price. id be more than happy to see it banned from all supermarkets....at least when people drink in pubs its managed by staff to a degree. but the argument if we have booze on the shelves we should have drugs too, is insane in the membrane. drugs destroy lives, increase crime, increase drug dealing , increasing irrational erratic violent behaviour and is a gateway to harder drugs which kill people and create enormous social problems too. you throw in liberal booze and liberal drugs laws and you have a concoction that will see the country go to hell in a handbasket.....and all you can worry about is what do we call junkies? get a grip
