most people who are addicted to serious drugs started off smoking just cannabis first. trust me, i know.

It clearly is, who do you think proposes Law's and acts of parliaments? It isn't the political government by any chance is it?! Why do you think the NHS lay down health law's or something? Most news relates to politics some how.

Not only do they get let out of jail early, they also get the drugs while they're in prison with corrupt prison officers and drugs being thrown over security fences.

it is already though.
if it was legalised, it would take away the 'glamour' for some kids who do it for the trend/to look cool.

incorrect! :D alcohol is five times more of a drug than marajana!

anyway, i dont know about your UK problems, but i am 100% for the legalization of weed in the U.S. the only reason it's not legal is because they don't know how they would tax it, because our country is run by greedy idiots, mmhm. otherwise, there's no reason it should be illegal. absolutely none.

yeah i know i ment even moreso, and yeah that's what i was trying to get at :P

They've been planning to maybe putting cannabis up to a class b for ages

Good,

Hopefully the government crack down on drugs!

I do occasonally smoke weed, but not like.. all the time if you know what i mean, Its OK if you smoke a bit of it now and again just to calm you down a bit from time to time, aslong as you just dont addicted. But as i said before i think in SOME cases, its better than alchohol becuase how many times have you seen people get paraletic and do stupid things like start fights, suicide and even murder? and what about cannabis?, the rates are lower when people are 'high' than drunk

It's a family property apparently.

I'm sure there's others like me. It's outrageous though, all drugs are harmful in the end. They may as well just ditch the classes system and rule it at a solid "If you've got drugs, you're locked up" & depending on how many grams you have, you get given a certain sentence. The system is being abused now, and has been for quick a while actually. I think the Police force should have a significant say on this, seeing as they are the people dealing with those on drugs, and know the effects & seriousness of them.

Wait no, that'd be common sense and the MPs are too corrupt to think about that. They should so be forced to be Police Officers, I mean all MPs like the did in the old days... Yeah, I watched City of Vice last night. (:



As much as I love my alcohol, I have to agree. Not so much about the seriousness of it, but it is addictive. The effects aren't as long as Cannabis could be.

Thats the problem though, jail space is significantly decreasing and people are being released early because of it, so i don't really think someone taking cannabis is gonna get locked up..

Oh and it's very unlikely anyone taking it gets addicted..

i don't really care if its reclassified or not. I don't like it.

and jordy what part of nottingham you from?
