| 1374735 | 2014-05-15 06:31:00 | I have to put in my opinion here, finally after watching the thread: I'm divided about legalise or not. I'm equally divided about the benefits vs dangers vs legality. My lowly opinion is, and from not much experience... * Its a mind altering drug - no doubts whatsoever. * It does have some sort of health benefits. * It has a medicinal affect which is some sort of pain-killer. * Other legitimate painkillers are possibly better * Other legitimate painkillers are often not better * Other legitimate pain-relief are often what the prescriber (ie doctor or chemist) is paid best by the prettiest drug company Rep. * Don't be intimidated by your doctor - my previous doctor was good... my new one is a fraidy-cat sad piece who won't give me an aspirin unless I go thru an ACG GEC EVD GRG TRT NVD and a f***p NO=Nor or even baby kitten whatever they call they call themselves.... Prosthetic ********s? Bugger that - I prefer a couple cheeseburgers any day! |

Or they could allow us adults to make our own decisions as to what we put into our own bodies. The tide is turning in America with Colorado having legalised pot from the 1st Jan this year and Washington to follow later. It is also possible that Oregon, California, Arizona & Alaska may legalise it this year too. A few surveys in the US late last year and earlier this year show that now more Americans want it legalised than those that don't. In California alone a study showed that they could earn around $17billion in tax revenue, and reduced enforcement costs. An interesting article from Forbes: www.forbes.com |

Quit trying, let them.....it will stop the crime they do to get the stuff in the first place.....and with the nasty ones, they'll be dead in no time anyway. The less harmful, like cannabis, well.....better than alcohol. Oh, and as they should with alcohol, ban them from cluttering up the hospitals. |

| 1374741 | 2014-05-21 17:06:00 | As I say I'd be quite happy to have it legalised simply on the basis that it'd make it more of a normal thing to do and those who are currently treating it as a cool way to rebel would see it as significantly less so. Also I certainly think it's less harmful than alcohol and ciggs. |

In 2009, 12.8% of young adults reported driving under the influence of illicit drugs and in the 2007 National Roadside Survey, more drivers tested positive for drugs than for alcohol. These cannabis smokers had a 10-fold increase in car crash injury compared with infrequent or nonusers after adjustment for blood alcohol concentration." www.sciencedaily.com |

Of course people shouldn't be driving after using it. |
