Advantages: Recreational Purposes

Disadvantages: Long Term Damage

I do not see why it should not be legalised. Most people that share this point of few are people that smoke it, either for the high or for medical purposes. I would never smoke it, but I do not see why it should be illegal.

It is currently illegal and people whom want to smoke it are smoking it and people that do not want to smoke it are not smoking it. If it was legal then nothing would change. Except there would be more standardisation, so it would be safer than getting it off a guy up a dark dirty back alley. There would also be more information out about it, because it wouldn't be as taboo "hush hush, don't talk about dirty drugs" so people would know more about the disadvantages of smoking it.

I see cannabis smoking simular to how I see tobacco smoking, except cannabis smoking has more advantages eg recreational purpose. I think that is should be banned in public places and it should be advised against, but people should be free to choose what they smoke or if they smoke.

Summary: Does something being illegal mean it doesn't happen? No!
