Cannabis in the UK?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
I live in The Netherlands, where cannabis has been legal for a long time. I know that if you smoke a joint there's not a big chance of something happening. But I have lot's of people around me who have regular psychosis because of cannabis. I think this is a big reason of why cannabis isn't legal in most country's. Also very young kids can get cannabis very easily and because of that they can go wrong with using other drugs. I know kids who are 13 and smoke weed. They don't have a bright future ahead because everybody just knows they are going to try hard-drugs.

There's plenty of evidence that tabaco is far more dangerous than cannabis, all the old miss conseption s are being disproved all over the world , peanuts kill more people than cannabis every year , if you dont want to smoke it thats fine , but dont think you have the wright to tell me I shouldn't smoke it or vape it in my own home , the biggest two problems with cannabis today in the u.k is sick people who actually need it can't access it becouse its to expensive on the nhs ( sativax) second is for those who do want it you either have to grow it yourself wich can be dangerous or go to street dealers ..... wich are useless ..... Please dont discriminate a person just on the grounds of what herb they inhal ........ peace to all :-)

A lot of people use it, and probably a lot of the people who pass laws in the US have used it, so they are in favour of it.

The problem is that it causes brain damage. People who use it for a long time think it is ok because they have already become lazy, apathetic and stupid, so they don't care.

cannabis damages the synapses in your brian and rearranges your brian chemistry, leading to all-sorts of mental health issues, and frankly if your only argument for it's legal introduction is that it maybe/possibly isn't as harmful as tobacco, then it's not much of an argument at all.

Potheads always think pot is harmless. They are unable to recognise the delusions and paranoia many pot users suffer from, pot heads are useless individuals complaining that their poison of choice is better than other poisons, non are compulsory why take any? A well known gateway drug where the pothead needs a stronger buzz until they lose it completely. What stage are you at?

Coca is the plant yes plant used to make cocaine, a very powerful drug that kills many people every year. Deadly Nightshade is also a plant. I don't disagree with much of the stuff you said but saying it is just a plant is a very poor argument because many of the most potent substances on earth come from plants. Also grammar would be appreciated

Cannabis to me is good and also bad I consider it as a drug, like it is and it's harms to the brain and also it's tar content (3x) more than a cigarette etc... But what bugs me is why more people die from cigarettes than cannabis, i know some people who smoke it to just chill and I know people that smoke it because they claim it helps take away pain, if in my own frame of mind I would take it off-den as I would need to, to live a pain relieved life, should weed/cannabis really be legalised in the uk and across the world, my opinion yes as it don't seem as lethal people make it out to be it harms you in many different way as along comes the side effects but if it don't go well for you or does not make any changes towards you than medical advise would be recommended for something else, people quote that cannabis has saved there life as well which can make you think, with or against it, also hemp comes along made for different purposes like clothing which has been around for along time just this one plant and yes a plant I remind, has helped in many ways overs thousands of years on man kind, if there's so much of the population that try it than continue there normal lives normally and have no problems, why! Would it be so rated bad over the years, it's being legalised in America over lots of different estates for medical purposes and personal reasons, which proves in some way down the line it can't be as such a crazy drug to take this day of age? Share what you people think? :)
