cannibis reclassification
Okay fine. Reclassify it. Whatever. But to me, i feel like asking whats the point? Why bother?
If i actually believed it would make any difference id back it. I mean, with all due respect, we live in a country where terrorists cant be deported, peodophiles get next to nothing for raping children, and celebrities seem to smoke and snort drugs without any real serious consequence. Your telling me reclassifing weed is gonna make a difference. What...? youll jail the guy selling drugs but youll let the murderer out in afew years even though he was apparently given life. Ha. whatever.
What do you people think?

lol dannyday if people want to scramble their brains up by smoking dope,weed,skunk or whatever else they call it then let them...i dont care...........

Those who only see life as cool if they take drugs..must be off their heads...
|
|
|
thats the problem icemaiden........people who take drugs DO think they are cool.........and more often than not they are cool..................on a morticians slab..............

Still....it's them on the slab, they knew the risks, they chose it (for harder drugs: not one death has been linked to cannabis use in the UK). If you choose to take someone else's life, you shouldn't be out in 10 years, but many are (overcrowding, see?).
Someone can smoke lowgrade cannabis, get caught with a bit of it in their pocket, and sent down for FIVE years. For smoking a bit of weed? That's the same for many rapists. For that user, it may produce a mild, if any high, could easily be having little or no detrimental effect on their mental health (on the contrary), may be stopping them from antisocial/health effects of heavy alcohol use: and yet they get put away for 5 years. What a joke.

It's about time we found another way. The system has failed. How can we keep the drugs out of our Island with its
miles of coast-line when we can't keep 'em out of prisons ?
I'm for de -criminalisation. Take the profits out of the hands of crooks.

You can't expect to keep things like drugs out of a country. It's just not possible.
Look at the American experience with prohibition.
But that doesn't mean that we should consider it a failure and legalise it.
When America legalised Alcohol it was already legal in most of the rest of the world.
We would become an island of legality and a sudden draw to drug tourism, think Amsterdam writ large.
That doesn't sound a very good idea to me
