yeah lets legalise a known and proven cause or mental illness. Go for it.
Plus, if it is legalised, it WILL be taxed. Which may not be bad thing, to fund the medical cost of those progressing to hard drugs.
Are you smoking some right now ?! ;-) You can legalise it, provide they bring in reliable test for people in the work place and on the road. Would you fly in plane that was fixed by a load of people, just back from tea break doping it ??
Alcohol is worse, but the is much more visible in the work place if people are under the influence and potentially risking other lives.
It may appear cool or rad, wayward whatever, but you need to think beyond the intial sliff, think of the consequence if machine operators, bus or train drivers were using it etc....
As the comment below, because it is a underground drug, no one actually knows the real damage it has or has NOT done, because there are no reliable records. If you crash you car, got the green light on breath test, you are hardly go to admit to smoking the stuff to the police, get real.
It is a PROVEN cause mental illness, and even if you say it only amplifies it, well that OK then, the slight violent person then becomes a murderer. how many people on day release have re-offended in the past year. If parents were sitting on there butt watching tv smoking, then their kids might not need arresting by the feds so much in later in life??? Role model etc..

If we legalise it then we should encourage pit bull breeding and the holding of guns for personal use oh and euthanasia for the hard of thinking
It does rot the brain and amplify if not cause mental illness
All the other 'legal' stuff like alcohol and tobacco would never make it onto the market these days with the evidence against them!

After the court case of that 68 year old grandmother last week i think it should be legalised, that poor Lady's story and how it gave her her life back i give it the thumbs up but she researched the cannabis and worked it out for herself and her needs (cooking with it rather than smoking it) maybe if more people did it her way it would make life easier for others.

I don't think cannabis should be legalised as a recreational drug, but I do think it should be available on prescription for those who use it to relieve severe pain - like the old lady who was prosecuted for using it last week.

I would say yes but not because i smoke it. I think it is a morons drug that makes people slow doppy and retarded I have no idea why anyone would want to take a drug that destroys all your energy and turns you into a waste of space. The thing is I believe that if it was legal you could tax it and the people who become brain damaged can be looked after by the tax it generates. I blame weed for turning people into moronic chavs

Absolutely.
Alcohol, cigarettes and bad drivers harm and kill more people each year than cannabis has since records began. Its a completely false economy going after the casual dope smoker, when the real trouble is caused by smack/crack heads, wino's fightng at the weekend and boy racers.
Anyone that has been to Amsterdam will know that it can work very well if thought out and done properly.
I love the Dam and can't wait to go back.

If you cannot control it---di-control it,is that what you are saying Doctor? Then that is Not a good reason to legalise it.

You've nailed it on the head!.
If the detection rate has gone up by 60 per cent, then that correlates with the steady rise in CO2 emissions.
Gordon Brown then announces a 60per cent reduction in CO2 emissions over the next 20 years and,
Wallah!.
Shut them all down and Britain achieves its target emissions quota!!!!!!!!!.......
How brilliant is that!.
Hes a rite clever git that Gordon Brown-makes me sik!.

I do think that people time could be put to better use - arresting chavvy kids and vandals... oh sorry the police can't do that. Its against the little ***** rights.
Too much pot smoking can have bad effects. I have nothing against people having the occasional spliff in the comfort of their own homes.
