Who reckons its should be legalised?? I think its less harmful than drinking, and smoking cigarettes. Also there would be far less violence if we had the Cafe's like in Amsterdam. Not saying I touch it tho

how?? all these negative comments but you gotta back them up. Its AS harmful as smoking cigarettes, but they're legal. If they legalised it, they could tax it and make money. I reckon 80% of people 18-25 either smoke it or have done in the past. Imagine the revenue!!

I don't see there being a problem with weed... It is one of the lesser harmful substances you can put in your body - It can't do much more damage than a heavy night on the spirits or lager... It should be legalised, but controlled in the same way as alcohol - i.e. you have to be licenced to sell it and over 16 or 18 to have it ya know...

Well i Drink, Smoke Cigarettes and smoke weed.
TBH my personal experience is that alcohol is a lot more dangerous than cannabis, in the long run alcohold is more likely to damage internal organs and cause illnesses, it is also a lot more addictive than cannabis. Yes cannabis can give you certain amounts of memory loss, but thats after prolonged use (years of puffing) but short term it is a lot less damaging than alcohol.
Lately i havent been on it a lot but i have been drinking a lot more. i think its time to give myself a complete service.

As a non-smoker who has tried it I can see many points for both sides of the argument.
To be honest I don't think it should be and I think if there was any case for it to be legalised then it would've been by now. After all it's clear just how many people use it illegally anyway, and the goverment know they could rake in the cash by taxing and controling the sale of the drug.
Smoking in general has had a lot of bad press lately tho, especially in public places like cafes, pubs, etc.
I hate people smoking around me as it is, and if I knew I was effected by someone else's smoke to a point I couldn't go about my own business properly (job, think, drive, etc.) then I would not be happy.

I cant see any reason for it not to be legal apart fromt he fact the government cant tax it, and they know they would lose a lot of money from the lost taxes. People should be told the truth about drugs so they can make their minds up for themselves, instead of believeing that all drugs are bad etc. Why is it that almost everyone finds alcohol acceptable when it is a drug, just like all the others, and has caused thousands of deaths and is the cause of so much violence in society? People that believe 'just say no' really need to take a look at themselves and life, and realise that that attitude won't work. Cannabis should be made legal and people should be made aware of the risks of using it, just like people know the problems with excessive alcohol use. Finding out that people dont just ruin their lives or die from taking a drug once changed my view on them totally, which led to me experimenting. I think that if I had been told the truth then i might not have smoked so much weed during GCSEs.  I could debate about this all night!

PS - the only drug information i trust is on http://www.erowid.org/ Which gives an honest view on them, so if anyone is ever thinking of trying anything new, research it first. Im not advocating drug taking in any way, but if people are going to do them, then know the pros and cons.

Agree with this. Marijuana/weed/skunk should be legalised but controlled...it'll sell like hot cakes (or hash cakes..  ) so in turn the economy will be boosted resulting in the price of more essential amenties being lowered (i.e. lower petrol prices...alcohol prices etc)
Honestly, anyone....whats worse smoking weed or smoking cigarettes? Never been convinced either way on that one..

'tis all good, at the end of the day its all personal choice and i choose to enjoy it, dont go mad on it, every once in a while is good. Should be decriminalised for use in private residences. not totally legalised because the government will just rip us off as usual.

Smoking is pointless, both weed and tobacco. I get plenty of kicks from life without the need of such substances. Many of my friends smoke weed and skunk and it turns them into very boring people. Plus why would anyone want to bring 'red eye' onto themselves. Hardly makes you look great. I'd rather have a nice cold pint then a dirty, stinking joint or cigarette.
I hope smoking gets banned in public as its vile. Ireland have it sorted

It's not the safety aspect of the drug, but the behaviour and attitude of those that smoke it that I'm against.
Just like those that abuse alcohol and turn into a beer monster (haha, yeah you're so funny, fuck off and listen to your Streets album), people make a big deal about smoking cannabis.
If they just got on with it, then it would be on it's way to being accepted in public, but instead they have to act up as if it's something to be proud of.
