In the scenario I mentioned it does effect me, the people I live with and the other members of my family, I shouldn't have to sit with all my windows closed in the middle of the summer because some druggie is smoking weed in his garden, which would only get worse if it was made legal.

The whole idea that making weed legal will make everything better is ludicrous, if anything it'll make it worse, if they put it on the same level as fags you'll have people walking the streets smoking spliffs like it's the most normal thing in the world, when it's not and I don't think it should be glorified.

Rather have people smoking weed in the streets, then cigarettes (which is way worse) tbh

[Liam-]

The idea of people walking freely around the streets smoking it is grim to me, if you want to smoke it in your own house away from people, fine whatever, but as soon as it starts bothering and effecting other people, that's where the issues begin.

I've saw some articles of people saying weed has helped them with their illnesses like cancer etc. Weed is harmless compared to alcohol and fags.

No , cannabis is a dreadful drug to get hooked on, and hooked on it you will get for years possibly decades. It will rob you of your life, hopes dreams and ambitions to be replaced by endless days living in a comatose trancelike state.

Your life reduced to looking forward to that next spliff when you can get high and escape from everything.

It really quite an evil pernicious drug masquerading as an innocent drug in a par with alcohol. Truth is it is a nasty drug that promises you a rosy tinted take on life, a comfortable escape from the challenges of life but you are always the very last person to see the horrible truth of years of devotion to this weed.

A sad shallow empty existence living in a fog alone usually , unable to really function and eventually forced to accept that ones life has amounted to zilch

Harmless drug.... Get real

There might not be many deaths directly related to weed like there is with fags, but there are just as many bad side effects that go along with it, some that can last forever.

Because it smells bad isn't a legitimate reason why something should stay illegal.

[joeysteele]

I can understand the viewpoints of those for and against the legalisation of cannabis.

Obviously speaking for myself and all I have come across as to the drug,I would not use it myself but I will sign the petition for it to be legalised.

I agree with Dezzys post earlier on where he said alcohol and smoking does a lot of harm yet is legal, so really its a strong point I think that cannabis should be too.

What's Cannabis?

[Loukas]

As a weed smoker, i would obviously say yes

[empire]

if legalize this drug, then the scumbag drug dealers will be out of there luck,

[bitontheslide]

2 wrongs don't make a right, and it is appropriate to apply it to tobacco, alcohol and cannabis.

People that say cannabis is harmless are deluded and ill informed, living in some cartoon fantasy land. No way it should be legal.

I'd rather be around people smoking weed than cigarettes, the weed can't give me cancer.

Smoked it for about 10 years as a teen and was bored of it by 21-22 and never touched it again.I don't see why it should be illegal tbh.Booze is much much worse.Why not cut the crime rates and just get it legalised already?Make some tax on it and provide quality stuff.

Also.......as a footnote to the above the type of weed now grown and sold on the streets is usually the skunk type with very high levels of THC without the corresponding levels of CBD which can counter the potency of THC in some skunks.

Without the balance of CBD the THC runs riot causing extremely powerful "trips" which can result in triggering "psychosis" in youngsters who are not able to handle the effects.

These skunk variants are artificially grown to maximise the THC content only and are grown in adapted areas in disused houses factories etc under powerful artificial lighting.

This is not weed this is big business producing a dangerous version of an already dangerous drug designed specifically for younger people who already have all the normal problems of adolescence.

Legalise this dangerous toxic weed...........you've got to be kidding.

[the truth]

its ok because Russell brand says so....but when the **** hits the fan and we go back to Russell and said, wait a minute we have zillions more druggies now, more drug related crime everywhere, more addicts robbing people to pay for their addiction, more addicts who cant work and go onto harder drugs, more drug pushers growing their own unregulated thh mind altering skunk, none of which can be tested....more drug related deaths.........over to you Russell? his response? oh im just a comedian mate.....nice one Russell

This is hilarious.

If you drink or smoke but you're against Weed then you're a hypocrite, end of discussion really.

There is no real reason why Weed should be considered an illegal drug, none at all.

[waterhog]

dezzy at present - weed is illegal - so it does not make a hypocrite- i get what you are saying as in terms of damage though.

I don't think it's wrong to say it's hypocritical to want to keep weed illegal but still partake in alchohol and cigerettes especially when a lot of the arguments against weed apply even more so to those two.
