Should weed be legalized in the UK?

Weed envelopes some peoples lives completely:

If you smoke first thing in the morning..

If you have to sneak to do it at anytime..

If you will go to greater than normal lengths to get it..

If you get cranky/angry when you don't have it..

If you can't eat if you don't have it..

If you only hang out with weed smokers and disassociate with non-smokers..

If you spend more money on better weed than better food for your body...

If you are a home-body and withdraw from socializing in public..

If you smoke infront of or behind the back of your children or in the same house as...

If you realize that weed is a foriegn-toxic substance with carbon, soot and resin byproducts that overload the body's systems including the lungs, liver, kidneys and lymphatic system. This expotentiates as you get older.

All these things and more...... keep you from experiencing a full life.. Occasionally, means just that.. two or three X's a year if that.

Cigarettes enslave, weed seduces and again alchohol enslaves... those that allow it to happen. Usually it is the younger more resiliant people that assimilate easily to toxin input to the body and start early in life.

Yes, I do think it should be more tolorated in society and here's why:

It is a source of immense revenue for other countries and criminal factions. It drains the taxpayers and legal system for billions a year. The cost to society- more than it should be. If we put the billions of dollars into preventative, rehabilitative and educational interests we would be better off. Alchohol should be outlawed again as its impairment properties far exceed that of weed!

Good Luck

i assume i'm the only one that actual reads the scientific analyze approximately 'weed'. there is such a raging delusion approximately weed it boggles the ideas. Weed kills not extra ideas cells than smoking or another pharmaceuticals. Plus they have now got here across that the ideas does replace ideas cells, the place in the previous they did no longer think of that became the case. Weed motives much less lung harm (actual it does little or no harm) while in comparison with cigarettes. Weed has been examined and examined and examined and located that it is not addictive! for persons who've preexisting psychological well being subjects, there's a reasonable (very) boost in subjects. besides the indisputable fact that it has additionally been shown those comparable persons would have had subjects if that they had used particular prescribed medicine that still alters the chemical stability interior the ideas, like maximum antidepressants. If it have been legalized, then the government would make sales from it, subsequently help the financial equipment. an exceedingly great element of the inhabitants would desire to earnings from it for scientific motives. it would ultimately be regulated. There are no longer something yet valuable outcomes to having it legalized. to those adversarial to the legalization, attempt to remember that all people is going to smoke weed no remember in case you like it or no longer, no remember if this is legal or no longer. It does no longer advise that hastily each and each of the persons on the bus or at your community pub are gonna be stonners. Belle

I have worked in a phyciatric unit. Most of the patients were young guys who had smoked too much super strength skunk. I was truly depressing to see all these young guys who have screwed there heads up from smoking an apparently safe drug.

Im not totally against it. I used to smoke loads of dope when I was younger. But these days weed is far stronger than the crap "rocky" or "red seal" that I used to smoke. I dont think making it legal is a great idea, however it seems pointless making it illegal as 1000s of otherwise law abiding citizens are then classed as criminals.

On the downside most people I know who smoke dope on a regular basis are really lazy and have very little get up and go. Not sure if this would benifit society if more people where like this.

Perhaps cafes would be a good idea. At least people would know what they are smoking and what strength it is.

Weed is the same as any other type of intoxicant, some people can handle it, some people can't. It's a hell of a lot less destructive to society than alcohol, so yeah it should be de-criminalised as it is in A'dam. The common misconception about Holland is that weed is totally legal, it's actually very much controlled by the authorities, if we follwed that example here we would be just fine I reckon.

By the way I hardly ever smoke it

weed should be legalized everywhere. I've smoked before, I know alot of people that smoke that happen to be some of the smartest people I know. maybe 2 or 3 times every 2 months is my smoking rate. it didnt affect me particulary but i've seen it affect peoples motivation levels to do antyhing in life. i've seen it lead other people to other drugs. i've seen it give people more open creative minds, and the ability to think for themselves if think at all. opening a coffee shop in london would be a great idea. almost everyone has tried smoking, why keep it illegal if its happening annyway and not even the police care about it anymore?

I think weed should be legalized everywhere. I smoke just about every day, and I still get good grades in school, have three jobs, a boyfriend, and my life is amazing. Yay Mary Jane!

I do not smoke, and haven't for about 30 years. Yes it should be legalized. How many dollars are wasted chasing people, and locking them up, for messing with an herb that has hardly killed anyone? And on top of that, it does have medicinal uses, and also agricultural uses.

I dont smoke, but I have tried it. It should be legalized, take it from the gangs controlling it and put it in the hands of the goverment, maybe there will be less gang related murders and if its legal it will give the police more important matters to attend to.

If it was legalised then the government could put a tax on it and the illegal dealers smugglers would be out of a job,There is not much chance if any to legalise cannabis with all this banning cigarettes in public places.

Legalize it.

Amsterdam has the statistics to prove that legalization actually reduces use. Once the "mystique" is one it becomes just like smoking.

Besides, once it's legal, you can tax it good and proper, while eliminating ti as an avenue for funding other illegal activities.
