I will openly hold my hands up and say that in my youth I dabbled in Cannabis, as did many other teenagers my age. I took my first toke at 14 and by 16 was smoking it, not on a regular basis but quite often. At that age I had learned about all the potential risks in school and was 100% educated on the decision I was making. There are many reasons I chose to do so which I will now explain. When I was 14 I tried it for a laugh but I was already on track to anxiety and depression which was full blown by the age of 15. The cannabis would relieve these symptoms and leave me feeling relaxed and happy. I was never 'addicted' or a pot head but I did enjoy a smoke ...  Read the complete review

I like many others have experienced smoking cannabis, in my youth of course and purely for recreational reasons. Those days are long gone but here are my views on it. For recreational use I think that it does much less harm than drinking, how many fights have you seen break out outside a pub due to smoking pot? Depending on how it is smoked however does yield the same health issues as smoking cigarettes. If people are using resin there could be all sorts of substances added to it. Home grown I feel is safer, but of course I am NOT condoning it at all, it is after all illegal. Now for medicinal use, cannabis oil and juice has be ...  Read the complete review

First of all, Cannabis is a medical drug; it has healing properties. You don't see that in cigarettes, right? Plus how many deaths a year does smoking cause? Thousands? Tens of thousands? And how many deaths a year does Cannabis cause? Zero. There have been no recorded deaths from this substance. Plus people get put away in jail for years just for smoking a spliff. That's just wrong. I suffer from a stress and panic disorder and I find that it really helps calm me down when I get riled up. It's a drug which chills you out and temporarily makes you a more relaxed person. However, this does not mean you can smoke it all the time because that can ...  Read the complete review

It is already proven that cannabis is no worse a drug than alcohol or cigarettes, so why should it be illegal when these are widely available to buy? The cost to the public through inconsistent and harsh punishment of people charged with cannabis related offences is also huge. Most of these cases get dropped, meaning time and resources have been wasted when they could have been used more effectivey somewhere else. Shouldn't the police be focussed on dealing with other crimes rather than having to arrest people who have done nothing other than use recreational cannabis? Another issue is public safety. The Government say that cannabis is a risk to ...  Read the complete review

My view on this is quite short, People choose whether to drink or not or smoke tobacco or not, with proper investment the negative properties of cannabis could be easily reduced, alcohol is one of the worst things in this country purely for the fact it is legal to slowly kill yourself but on top of that it costs the tax payers millions each year because of the amount of drunken injuries, Not to mention violence, unprotected sex and the rest. I have used cannabis when I worked late shifts, I would come home wired from work not wanting alcohol to relax me and not much else working, having a single spliff would unwind me and allow me to relax and get a good ...  Read the complete review
