bit naive there don't you think
I can't see doctors encouraging smoking these days.
Well where's the evidence for this?
Holland (technically not legal but tolerated and openly sold) has a relatively lower rate of use than the UK & USA, so that fucks your logic right up.
You obviously have no idea what you're prattling on about. Thousands upon thousands of people in the UK are smoking polluted hash, cut with all sorts of shit, because of prohibition.
So prohibition not only has produced a high rate of use, but also results in huge numbers of people polluting their lungs with filth. Great for public health eh?
There is no anti-legalisation health argument, because prohibition is causing more health problem than legalisation could, even if it increased use greatly (which is purely theoretical).
Anyone who supports the prohibition of cannabis doesn't know the facts, is stupid, or blinded by their own arrogance.
so why the hell should she be threatened with jail ...why the hell should the police have arrested and charged her ...why haven't the CPS thrown it out?
aressting people for possesion and use of cannabis is a waste of everyones time and money ...
welcome aboard mate.
okay then, why do you think it's illegal to grow hemp without a license now? you can't get high off it so you wouldn't want to smoke it, so where is the danger? 150 years ago it used to be law, you had to grow the shit if you had enough land..........what has changed? it's pretty bleedin obvious.........
Well, here are some -
- It's a personal right which harms no-one else.
- People swear by it medicinally.
-Prohibition causes health problems...people smoking "soapbar" (known as Chernobyl in France...no explanation why is needed) which is cut with all sorts, glues, tranquilisers, henna & shit to name but a few.
-Legalisation takes the profits from criminals. Perhaps the gov't should invest the tax into the NHS to counter the effects of smoking? Now isn't that more logical than letting criminal suppliers poison the population and get rich while they're at it?
-The Dutch model shows no significant increase in usage when laws are relaxed. The USA has more cannabis smokers than Holland.
So...why is it you want it still kept illegal? Because, in all honesty, I don't think you can have any proper reason!
by the way ...all the evidence shows that the countries who tolerate it have a declining user population whilst those with the harshest aproach have an ever increasing number of users.
Why not respond to my points rather than ask silly questions?
Oh wait -- you can't.
:thumb:
And no, I am not a cannabis user.
It is absolutely grotesque that it can't be legalised even for medical use. For gods sake...
Summing up the effects of the medicine I am taking if mis- or overused....
Death, stretchmarks, balding, liverfailure (when combined with alcohol) etc.
So, when cannabis is babyproofed compared, then how come it can't be legalised? It's absurd really.
And demeans the people who are in actual need. I doubt the people behind the legislation have ever known a suffering sclerosis patient (or someone of a similar disease which could benefit of Cannabis).
Disgusting really.
but quality drugs harm only five to ten perecent of users!
LOL!
You can't be real?!
Cannabis is not a drug which you'd class as a "problematic" - it can't be used for serious escapism.
You know nothing about the drug, nothing about the nature of the drug, and nothing about the people who smoke the drug.
You've not been there, you've not experienced the experience - you have no idea. And to be honest, you're making a fool of yourself.
along with vegatable oils and the highet quality seed oil on the planet. seed oil that can be used for health for food and even for lubrication.
and guess what ...it is not labour intensive and needs no pesticides or fertelizer.
all round it is a remarkable planet freindly plant ...but to many big guys loose money.
People smoking "soapbar" causes health problems.
You can either claim personal choice, or deny it and blame this on prohibition.
If people smoke soapbar because they believe it to be a harmless painkiller then I may reconsider my position. If there are other reasons for soapbar use, then I stand by my argument. Not it's not logical to tax something, claim the government will make money out of legalising drugs, and then express a desire to spend the tax money on treating the effects of the very same drugs.
Should we ban nuts and asprin?
are you listening kentish?......................................there is no health risk attached to standard hemp, just a risk to corporate profit..........of course they couldn't ban hemp, so they had to try and demonise cannabis..........have you never seen those docs from the 40's about reefer madness? the fact is you need to do your research and then come back....
and that is why you just don't get it...........cannabis was never banned for medical reasons, and therein lies the injustice.
gambling is legal and taxed ...gambling addiction is causing many social problems.
nicotine is legal ...if you banned it the biggest source of cash would dissapear from the nhs.
cannabis addiction is almost none existant.
drug problems ...socialy and health wise would diminish massively if legalised and controlled but ...no one realy gives a toss ...the people of the uk are happily spending upto ten billion quid a year on illegals and will continue to do so ...the health service hasn't and won't collapse through drug use.
it is also the best plant on the planet for reclaiming land ...reinvigorating land ...textiles oils fuels etc ...extremely cheap and extremely eco friendly.
but it would destroy totaly the nylon market.
lorry sheets tents jeans ropes sails etc etc ...all eco friendly and super cheap ...
it has been stated that hemp is the plant that can save the the world ...but it is still illegal.
all to do with dosh.
as the oli runs out ...it will make a comeback.
