Should cannabis be legalised?
Newest Review: ... technically valid. Anyways, I'll come back from my tangent there. The main reason I believe cannabis should be legalised is this: Alcohol is legal, it messes with your mind (obviously I'm not saying bud doesn't), but it can make people violent and therefore results in such things as murder and rape. I'm pretty sure that not a single person who has ever been 'high' has ever hurt a single person. It generally makes you relax or sleep, or maybe have a hyper spurt, followed by a chilled out period. So why is it, that a drug more damaging to our society is legalised, and one that does little damage is illegal. I'm not saying that cannabi... more |

The answer to this question is a simple yes, and I'll try and explain myself in as little words as possible (more than 150 though of course).

The lady was on the night before (Kerrang Radio 10pm Sun-Thurs) and had MS. Although the druggies who take it because of silly reasons like to deal with stress, then it should be illegal. A lot of people with medical conditions would greatly benefit from being able to get cannabis over the pharmacy.

At the moment there has not been enough scientific investigation of cannabis and I think that there should be as soon as possible because at the moment in the UK we have a strange legal limbo. If you are caught smoking cannabis you will almost certainly only be cautioned or receive a slap on the wrist. If it is proven that cannabis is a threat to mental health then it should be banned by the Government to the same extent as heroin or cocaine, as what is the point of it being illegal if it has no effect? However if it is proven to have no negative effects then its legalisation and regulation could reduce funds available to criminals and the likelihood of people moving on ...
