I don't know about legalised, but I'd like to see it decriminalised, much like the pilot scheme being run in Brixton at the mo.
Only users lose drugs

and as I said then...
I think cannabis should be downgraded further and perhaps issued on a licence basis or age limit for example where small amounts for personal use would be accepted, If cannabis was decriminalised then it should follow suit with similar laws are alcohol with regards to work (ie. companies would have to issue regulation stating no cannabis use while at work for safety reasons) and perhaps special cafes like in holland to prevent smoke coming into contact with children in public areas.
I agree that cannabis users are less troublesome than alcohol ones but one thing I've always noticed with regards to classification on drugs is that in contrast to ecstasy, cannabis is a powerful mind drug.

wise men talk because they have somthing to say, fools talk because they have to say somthing.
Statistics show that Marijuana is a lot safer than alcohol. Easily.
So what is the fuckin problem? The problem is they wont be able to bust people for it anymore, so they wont make nearly as much money if they legalized it and taxed it.
Who would wanna smoke their pot anyway if its legal ill grow my own without all those addatives they will probably put in there.
The cops here will stop you and search you and if they dont find anything they'll just plant a bag in your car. And when they do find something, they turn you in for half of it and sell the rest or smoke it. heh its fukd
Besides if they legalize it and tax it im not buyin it anyway cuz i can grow my own.
80s nostalgia ruined my life.
Anyone who thinks that smoking pot should be illegal should consider that coffee in large amounts is probably alot more dangerous than pot (blood pressure and heart attacks). Coffee IS addictive and how many millions of people are addicted to caffeine?
Its just a stigma that needs to be (and is slowly being) erased.
I say make it decriminalised.... ala Brixton.
Who knows, in ten years we might be having a referendum for nationwide decriminalisation!!
It would be nice to walk down the road with a bag of weed in my pocket and not have to suffer the paranoia of being arrested.

i stick with what i said that tiem round.
its not illegal til u get caught <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/mica/monkbum.gif">
If everyone smoked pot whenever and wherever they please then what can the authorities possibly do. The courts would grind to a standstill. The only time this sort of mass exodus has ocurred was during that ridiculous poll tax introduced by Herr Thatcher.
just that if it waas 2 b, the govornment would put that much tax on it, like they have done on cigs, people just wouldnt b able 2 afford it!!
My reasons are:
Admittedly I haven't given the other side of the story yet. Firstly,smoking marajuana pure is itself harmful for the lungs, in a similar way to smoking cigarettes. Additionally, people tend to smoke it with tobacco which is to some extent physically addictive (and you know how hard people find giving up tobacco)
Well that's my overall point of view, I don't mind people who do/don't smoke it, I've smoked it a few times, been in 1 or 2 heavy sessions, don't smoke these days but don't mind if other poeple do.
that's because:
personally i dont care either way, i don't smoke it and i don't have a problem with others smoking it.
*it is bad for your health if you smoke it with tobacco or without a filter
*it does affect memory
*it is addictive
But the truth is that because of the number of people who smoke it and the hassle that it is arresting everyone who uses it, it probably will be legalised or decriminalised at some point in the not too distant future.
I just think that there's no need to try and justify making it legal. Yes, alcohol and cigarettes are dangerous drugs, but that doesn't mean that cannabis is any better.
if in doubt-dance.
