should it be legal

If the science says cannabis is stronger than any other form of drug?
Should we be required to get ****-faced?

Neither my Father and I are disabled but use cannabis for pain relief - and can't deny, lifts our spirits. I don't see why it shouldn't be legalised. I hate hanging round dodgy pubs to get my 'supply. Like so many other people I believe it makes you far less violent than alcohol but I don't care if that's true or not...I just like getting **** faced and can't stand ignorant people that don't.

If you make it legal, but make it prescription only, maybe in tablet form, for pain relief, then what's the harm? people are prescribed mood altering drugs every day, this would be just another one and probably safer than some already in use.
Morphine is an illegal drug, heroin is just a morphine derivative, but morphine is dished out like jelly babies for painful illnesses, so what's so taboo about cannabis?

Of course it should. Compare the ratio of cannabis/alcohol related deaths and cannabis/alcohol related violent crimes. There's your answer.
Unfortunately we have a spineless government that simply wants to pander to the wishes of the Daily Mail readers out there. The UK can ram it, I'm moving to Holland.

i like cannabis but i don't think it should be legalised until they can find a way to test for people under its influence on the road side, like with the breath test for alcohol.

Theraputic for what? If it's chemotherapy, they've found a way to administer it that doesn't get you high.

Congress has very little use for science or reality.
It will be legal when enough people in Congress get paid to make it legal -- until them, nothing else matters.

they also say that it can cause mental problems such as depression and such but I think it should be legalized I don't think as many other drugs would be bought if anybody could smoke some herb

i think that depends on who you ask. And how ingested. Putting any kind ofsmoke in you is just plain wrong. Maybe in a patch or pill.

Tobacco does your heart and lungs in. Alchohol does your liver in. ..........Cannabis scrabbles your brain. before you tell me I am wrong look at those who use it.
