i've already said the government would raise enough money from taxes to pay for health costs and even though you question it, you must admit the costs would be covered, do you know many people who grow tobacco plants and make cigarettes, i don't, cannabis seeds are readily available but you need female seeds and it really is too much bother to grow, not many people are going to go out of their way to grow marijuana when you can nip down to the local coffee shop and buy 3 spliffs, know what i mean, again, lots of things are harmless, goes back to costs thing does it not.
Death is not the only measure of harm. I'd say having a stroke and living is worse than having a stroke and dying. So if you judge only by death, you ignore the suffering of those who have a disease but do not die from it - morbidity vs mortality.
aye but murder is death, cannabis isn't
seriously though, every law that is ever made will have positive and negative effects, look at the fox hunting one, there'll be more foxes now, that means less (whatever foxes eat) in the case of cannabis i think you must agree that it's all about a lesser of two evils and the positives slightly outweigh the negatives, please agree so this thread will be executed.
i thought we were talking about cannabis here?
I do enjoy these discussions though.

Epitome of a closed mind.
Vote Conservative, do we? Just out of interest...
(No)
Seemed to remember you aspousing support for either the Tories or UKIP...
Could be wrong.
Once in 31 pages - not bad :thumb: .
There will always be a large proportion of society who smoke cannabis...regardless of fashion...likewise with alcohol...
People's attitudes are changing, ignorance is less becoming less prevelent, the government has to come in line with that at some point...we've already seen re-classification to class c...hopefully progressive changes leading to decriminalisation are a case of when, not if.
