Cannabis prohibition began with a BOLD FACED LIE and now it has morphed into what I call "A MASTERPIECE IN THE ART OF BRAINWASHING".
Folks, if cannabis were really dangerous, how do you explain Paul McCartney, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and many, many other famous and successful people?
All the studies that say Cannabis leads to psychosis are non scientific. They all talk about commonality but not about cause (they take a group of people with schizophrenia and say "this many smoked cannabis, therefore it was cannabis" instead of finding links, because there are non).
Look at the work of Lester Grinspoon, Harvard M.D and professor of psychology. I trust his knowledge on the subject over a group of politicians who take money from pharmaceutical companies to keep it illegal.
@dominicrusho How do you arrive at that conclusion? Ok, so if heroin were legal tomorrrow, would you go out and try it? I've never tried heroin, and I never, ever will. Despite it being legal or not.
@qloudz Like you, I would NEVER take Heroin, and IMO it must remain banned. All I'm saying is that it seems like an odd way to raise money to treat heroin addicts through legalizing heroin, which will create more addicts.
@dominicrusho Making a substance illegal simply takes control away from the government, and gives it to a criminal underclass. It's that simple. What would you prefer, a heroin addict getting his fix on prescription from the NHS, whilst getting treatment/advice? Or buying it off a guy who has cut it with other shit potentially making it lethal (not to mention stealing the money for their fix)? We dont treat alcoholics like criminals. Legalise it, and its much cheaper, so taxes would be nothing.
its all GRITWEED now that its classb so when i smoke i get tonsilitis. is this what they want. more ill health? now i drink excessivly because i cant stand getting ill when i smoke. nice one government. real nice. fucing arseholes.
@fart1001 your smoking some weird weed mate,you need to get off a better dealer if your getting bumped like that. Cannabis is better than both alcohol and tobacco, for 1 alcohol and tobacco KILL! there has been no deaths recorded due to smoking cannabis other than the smoking side but not to the extent of tobacco, so there are still chances of lung cancer etc. It keeps people calm and happy and will reduce violence. Making it legal will also make the drug more controlled to reduce young smokers
Fact of the matter is that young kids(under 18) are able to purchase drugs due to an unregulated and unaccountable drugs black market. I don't care if adults use drugs, we already have two of the most deadliest drugs on sale being alcohol and tobacco, we need to stop with this hypocrisy and realise how damaging this prohibitionist drugs policy is.
It really does amaze me to hear politicians talk down on legalisation when this is clearly the ONLY way we can control our drug problem.

"Let's legalize all drugs so we could get taxation to treat addicts!"
Um...what? Surely legalizing ALL drugs (like Heroin, which is addictive) would create more addicts? I'm not getting his logic.
Still, an interesting video.

Lamb winning stops the Conservatives winning.
That could mean Gordon Brown winning Labour a fourth term and Brown as Prime Minister until 2015. Fantastic. :)
