Cannabis Legalisation

fruit loops are my kink

OK, please tell me you guys are on board with this. I'd like to hear some peoples theories of why they think it should be Legalised/Illegal. It would be nice to hear both sides of the story and if some peoples minds can be changed when they see the benefits of cannabis legalisation then Ill pat meself on the back. So what do you guys think?

If you look past the fact that you are smoking weed, it's actually a lot better less bad* for you than alcohol. And i enjoy a good puff from time to time. So yea.. i'm in!

In my opinion if it was regulated like alcohol is then i don't see the issue. I see Cannabis as i see alcohol. 
Edit: Its not anymore harmful than many legal street drugs. (Tobacco and alcohol)

Maybe because cannabis is a stimulant, like other drugs and is harmful to human health, causing paranoia and many other mental illnesses and issues. However, with there also being evidence on cannabis having good side effects, in truth, I don't care.

So does alcohol. Everything in moderation.

No but really, crap storm inbound aside,  it seems that the  modern world is tending toward this. 

 

To the individual user i think we need to know more about what it does, but it cannot be worse then what is already legal. 

 

Also I think it has less of a negative impact on societal harm. You're less likely to have guys beat eachother to a pulp if their high then if their drunk. or smash a shop window in etc.. 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

well ill agree with paranoia but what other mental illnesses are you referring to? and please dont say Psychosis because not enough evidence is there to support psychosis. any tests done on psychosis have insufficient numbers of test subjects and insufficient controls so please enlighten me :)

Legalize it, Regulate it and tax it. Then i'll be vaugely ok with it.

 

Still not a fan of the fact that i could get some of it into my system passively and lose my driving license if i'm unlucky though.

And no. even if i'm clear headed i'll still lose my license if i test positive for that

Cannabis is not a stimulant.

 

It can be harmful to your health, yes. Some people, with propensity for mental illness can be triggered by cannabis use. Cannabis, on it's own, does not CAUSE paranoia, mental illness, ... Cannabis, as well as all other smoked medias, IS harmful for the lungs and other airways. Cannabis does have good side effects for the treatment of various psychological and physical conditions like PTSD, Parkinson's, ...

As well as that there has never been a reported OD on cannabis in comparison to alcohol poisoning which kills thousands of people a year

its interesting you say that because apparently there is a new drug test in California i believe that actually tells the difference between driving while stoned and having small doses of THC (The main compound in cannabis that causes a 'high') in your system so if that was adopted worldwide then it couldnt really impact drivers

Its stupid that all drugs are banned, legalizing it would make the drugwar go away.

Marijuana is worse illegal because it gives cartels gun money to kill people.

 

70% of the income of the sinaloan cartel is pot money.

THC, which is cannabis' active molecule, is a moderate analgesic and psychoactive. It does fit in this category.

They would be weaker without 70% of their income.

Just saying.

Source for that 70% statement?
