    Which happened as a knee jerk reaction to all the legal highs because government agencies weren't doing their job properly in consumer protection.

    The Tories would never let it happen anyway. If we got 3 terms of Labour in a row, they might make some changes then,
    for the worse, like they did when in power the last time.

    Heroin is already legal in the form of opioids. And, crack is cocaine. One is water soluble(cocaine, it's why it is snorted) the other (crack, why it is smoked) isn't.
    I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.

    Why does anyone even ask this stupid question about cannabis? Everyone with any sense of awareness knows that its prohibition is based on pure lies and poisoned ideology.

    They aren't remotely the same, way more powerful. Having a codeine isn't anything like a wrap of Heroin, doing a line of coke doesn't feel the same as smoking a rock.

    Both sides are guilty of this though... Many pro-weed folk lie too

    booze and cigarettes are bad for you. Weed is not.

    if weed was legalised people wouldnt need to buy these unknown legal highs and there now illegal cos people have died from them, weed is prolly the safest of all the illegal drugs ive smoked it worst thing you can get is a bad trip all this crap about getting mental illness is only if your mind is succeptable to it and if you know that you wouldnt take it anyway, its like a person who is alergic to nuts hes not gonna eat nuts is he. all this scientific stuff is just published by the government to scare off campigners, natural weed in its pure form is safe i mean its a natural growing plant so why cant we smoke it, as i have said tobacco and alchohol are more dangerous than weed yet there legal, so the goverment have no leg to stand on really when thy legalise more dangerous things

    Kids will always seek different kinds of high regardless

    Personally my stance is indifference but if it became legal then it would need to be heavily taxed and regulated e.g. over 18 only, criminal offence to sell to a minor and if for health prescription

    If weed is legal then there will be a barrier to entry, just like booze and cigarettes. Anyone who makes the "what about the children" argument is either uneducated or just a prohibitionist.

    But it has been proven that weed is not physically addictive, nor does it have anywhere near the damaging effects that tobacco has. Why should a less harmful drug that is more akin to coffee than booze be "heavily taxed"?

    Especially when you could just grow it.

    Because if smoking it can be inhaled by others. Second hand smoke.

    In the UK alcohol is taxed twice:

    1) Standard rate VAT is charged at 20%.

    2) Beer, Cider, Spirits and Wine all have there own 'built in' tax rates too, e.g 'Beer Duty' is charged at 8.10 pence per litre or 18.37 pence per litre or 23.85 pence per litre depending on the alcohol strength.
