well this is a long post!
I just thought I'd add my views but first some facts;
alcohol and nicotine are much more deadly than cannabis
cannabis is not chemically addictive
the only test the cops have is for the bi-products of cannabis matabolites so they cant do you for having done it there and then, only for doing it in the last month (roughly)
its is a gateway drug in the same way a cup of tea is, or chocolate etc.
it is bad cost you've got to go to dealers to get it, which also supply other drugs, hence why people think it is a gateway drug
if cannabis remains illegal, nicotine, caffeine and alcohol should all be made illegal as well
and now onto my point, cannabis is illegal cos of mis-information, in the past it was warnings of your soul being cast to morlock, now its how it leads to the downfall of society. People think propoganda doesnt happen now, hmmmmmmm, thats the whole point, you dont notice it!
I'm not going into my views on the medical use of cannabis, apart from it is completely insane to get patients addicted to morphine when and thc concentrate would work in most cases just as well. Recreationally, if you agree with drinking and smoking, i dont see how you can disapprove of cannabis. If you feel on the other hand all forms of intoication are wrong, well thats your right, and i respect your self control.
To conclude
; who are the government to dictate which non-harmfull substances we can and cant have, whilst forcing harmful ones down our necks. Lets have some consistency!
Goodnight and god bless!
