Description
I am in no way saying 'SMOKE CANNABIS, CANNABIS IS GOOD!' by uploading this. I am saying, it should not be an illegal drug. Why?Because Cannabis is the main drug that is sold on the streets with the violent drug dealers. Police storm into many people's houses and find what? Cannabis plants.
Now what does Cannabis do?
Cannabis does the following:
Relaxes the muscles, eases away muscular pain
Slows the heartbeat very slightly
Helps Anxiety
Causes memory loss
Can in some cases cause paranoia.
It is a fact that no deaths have ever been caused by Cannabis itself.
Now, what does Smoking tobacco do?
Causes Tar build up in the lungs
Creates an Addiction
Causes cancer
Relaxes muscles
Over 10'000 deaths each year in the uk are liked to tobacco smoking.
Most importantly, what would it's legalization do?
Put dealers out of business if it can be bought anywhere, reducing the danger they are to the public.
Now I'm in no way saying it's a good thing to smoke it, but if it was at least make legal, a lot of things would be a lot safer. Put it that way.
What are your views?

Whole life I was told that "all drugs are bad, don't do it". I've never been interested to try and didn't question it. Then I met someone who did, notice it's not as evil as told and did my research. The truth was surprising... And still, after enlightenment, I'm not interested to try myself. I only support personal choices that does no harm. And wonder how is the prejudiced knowledge supposed to protect us.

Yeah, I think it should be regulated like alcohol or tobacco. It definitely would make sense to legalise it though! Plus, current laws prevent hemp from being grown as a material. If it was legal, you'd also get an incredibly fast growing, pesticide-free, cheap and environmentally friendly fabric which could easily replace the less green, more expensive cotton or wool

In all these terrible six years in my country... I agree in certain way.
Marihuana is way a less agressive drug than any other known methamphetamine or even tobacco! However, I won't reduce my life by consuming any of the aforementioned drugs. My parents haven't done that and they will never teach us how to get addicted.

I agree. My Father smokes weed and honestly it doesn't do anything to him. When he gets mad or stressed out he just has one and he's happy again. He doesn't drink or smoke cigarettes, he's just a pot head and I'm happy for that. I wish that it was legalized, I mean, a lot of people say they don't like drugs but then take painkillers and cough medicine. You can get addicted to those, overdose and die if you weren't careful.

I don't like drugs but I absolutely hate tobaccos with a passion.
My mum and my sister smoke nowadays.
I canβt believe theyβre smoking on that waste...
Tobacco should be illegal in my opinion.
I surprised how the cannabis works now.
But then again...
I'm not really into smoking things.

It would be great if it was legalized as some sort of drug with medical purposes not just like tobacco. Because - let's say my neighbour just smoke come cannabis and went driving what would happen then? It would be the same as me taking my allergic medication; it slows you down and makes you slow to react. I know the substance is not the same, but they have very similar effects on the system. (On my medicine package is says: Do not drive when taken this medication)
And when I have taken my medicine I can barely look out for cars when walking out on the street and trying to remember past events like this are often fractured and blurred out. I read that the risk of a car accidents are doubled when smoking cannabis and damages the embryo during pregnancy.
For medical use you could possibly treat stress or constant pain, but I don't support people with no such illnesses to get their hands on cannabis. My friend smokes this, he is not the same as before. He has asthma but don't care about that and have become angry, mean and stupid.
All drugs, no matter if legal or not have their upsides and their downsides.

True, all drugs are bad. If it was leaglized there would be many precautions on it I assume. I'm not saying like it should be legal no matter what, you know? But as bad as it sounds, it could bring a lot of good by legalising it.

They do use weed at the doctors but as a subscription.
Weed, pot, w/e u wanna call it is pretty harmful to your brain yes. And i dont really smoke this stuff so.. i really don't care if it's ligalized or not still. I just want people to stop being so pathetic.

Both sides are. Those that are addicted to it give general users a bad name, and those that aren't automaticly stereotype the general users. It's a shame really.
I only used it to deal with anxiety, and I must say it did it's job.

I'll still say no to smoking no matter what it is. I mean damage to your lungs is still a damage to your lungs, nah?:<

You don't have to smoke weed, you can make tea out of it. You can also cook with it.

O.O; Well that's... new.XDD

Actually, it's just not common knowledge. Space cake & Hash brownies are more popular, but you can do all kinds of crazy culinary things with marijuana. You can make tea, cake, cookies, pancakes, butter, salsa, and tons of other stuff. There's even a book you can buy called the Cannabis Cookbook.

lol That's awkward, never heard of that.XD Oh well, I prefer more erm... old?... ways of relaxation, I just don't trust this stuff.:/

I agree to cannabis being illegal. Think about it, if it were legal then nothing would get done because everyone would be too relaxed. Also, all the cannabis dealers would start dealing drugs that were a lot more dangerous.
I think dwelling on the effects of a drug either way is pointless anyway, there are much greater issues that people should be bothered about *cough*conservation of fuel*cough*
π: 0 β©: 1
There are better issues by far. But I see this more as something better then alcohol, like instead of go out and drink and kill your liver, just relax for the weekend, ya know?
π: 0 β©: 0
and hey did you know Beer is another thing that's more dangerous then Cannabis, when you drink you want to go out and do stuff when high you just want to stay at home or chill with a buddy see it's much safer
and if it became legal the world could trade/ sell different kinds Cannabis to who ever it would be sold by and before people know it the economy would be fixed a lot of good would come from it and if it's smoked out of a hookah it's 1000% harmless to your health X3

It is true that if this stuff was no longer illegal, there wouldn't be such a violent need for it. Less crime stealing it if you could just grow it at home. I totally agree with you about the smoking bit. The only reason THAT isn't illegal is because the buisness is so big. No one can turn down all that money, doncha know?
But if it WASN'T illegal, I'd expect a spike in people using it, which could really lead to problems. Without an authority to say "NO, THAT'S BAD," people will start using it more and more. Cause what's stopping them now? Nothing.
I say we just burn it all.
...nowait.

lolololol
Actually, it isn't bad. It's reputation is. The drug itself is very good for pain. But those who abuse it are silly.

and because it's kinda pretty...

It's used for multiplesclerosis patients as a perscription drug as well.
I did a GCSE exam on this, only two people last year died of using Cannabis, but then again if it was legalised, how many more people who actually use it day in, day out like smoking a cigarette regularly, maybe more people would die?
C: Lol. But heroine is a no-no.
π: 0 β©: 1
It can't kill you, no effect it has can kill you. Those that died wouldn't have had it caused by cannabis itself, it would have been something else.
Indeed, Heroin is a big no.

Idk, that's jus' what my exam paper told me.
That if you overdose on it, it's possible
π: 0 β©: 1
You just get a high though o_O You can't overdose
It leads onto higher drugs though, that could be it.

I REALLY dont get how tobacco
smoking is still legal these days despite
the fact that it kills thousands of people
every year, but a little hash is harmless,
yet illegal. Ah well. I guess the tobacco
companies are too wealthy to shut down
in this age we live in.

I've never smoked the stuff in my entire life, nor do I plan too [I'm paranoid and hungry enough already LOL] but...I'm another nonsmoker with you on this one!
I think that having alcohol/cigarettes be legal and pot be illegal is stupid. Dealing is dangerous on both ends, if people could just pick up cannabis at their local supermarket -there would be no chance that it would be laced with PCP or any other drug and could kill them-.
Also I think that the government should consider things like how many people could be employed growing cannabis, how much money they could make off of taxing it; and how much violence would go down as criminals would switch to dealing harder [and, easier to find/make arrests for] drugs.

Exactly! If more people smoked cannabis then cigarettes the world would be a much cleaner and safer place. Not to mention, as you put, it opens up a HUGE income for money. Better yet for the users who need it (Like anxiety/arthritis sufferers.) It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper for them to buy. And safer.

I forgot to mention this too; but aside from the increase of positive effects cannibis could have on our society; I think negative effects as far as abuse would be diminished too. In the Netherlands where drug laws are more lax and pot smokers over 18 can't be punished for smoking in public; etc; the median age of starting/stopping using is actually slightly better than in the US. I think the legality could take away some temptation.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. It'd be really much safer if it was legal.

I can see where you're coming from with this but a major problem with legalizing it is the imagery behind it. Although it does less harm to the body than tobacco, it's viewed as something far worse.
Also, if companies are able to sell it legally then they could monopolize it meaning that dealers would likely continue to sell it cheaper than the shops.
I think the best way to sell it legally is have a medical form that allows you to buy it in certain amounts to stop things getting out of control.
