What is your view on cannabis?

[Andeeh]

I havent read all of this but I used to smoke it everyday up until a few months ago and now I just do it on weekends as it was making me a lazy ****. I have been to Amsterdam and feel that we could take an approach like they have seperating the harder drugs and softer drugs and allowing people that smoke to go in to coffeshops and get clean and decent weed that isn't off a 15 year old wasteman therefore getting rid of the dealers whilst making money on taxing it for people. It's a waste of money the police are spending on treating drug crime as ultimately they are always losing. Weed can **** with your head no question about that but as long as it is in moderation then there is no problem in it at all, if you want a sure fire way of been able to smoke it risk free then use a vaporizer.

I haven't read all the posts. I'm not sure if I'm against for for weed but one of the reasons it can be currently dangerous is because unlike let's say alcohol which some claim is worse, weed isn't manufactured in the same type of environment with all the safety controls a big brewery would have. This means that something you bought from one person one time might be different quality wise to the last time. Sometimes cheap/dodgy dealers have even put glass in weed.

Legalising it might fix this there would be better quality laws brought into practise and we'd see a lot less weed dealers. However there's also problems if this happened. Dealers will probably find something else to deal, probably something harder and if we legalise one drugs people will then try and get others legalised which are much more dangerous.

Interestingly I read in a paper at work the other day someone was campaigning to get Amazon to remove legal drugs that people where using for legal highs. It mentioned the dangerous and how people had died from legal drugs but it seemed to focus too much on the sellers for me e.g. Amazon and the people selling via Amazon. At the end of the day its legal but people will know the dangerous. It seems people blame the tool these days rather than the person.

this thread is full of so much bs. people know nothing lol

i used to smoke, haven't in a couple years. it should be legalized, which is slowly happening now in the us it poses no harm or threat to the people who choose to smoke or people who don't smoke, and it is not a 'gateway drug'.

If it poses no harm, should children be allowed to smoke it?

Is it not a valid point? Cigarettes can cause harm, age restricted. Alcohol can cause harm, age restricted. Knives can cause harm, age restricted. Fireworks can cause harm, age restricted.

So, to all the people that say cannabis is harmless, surely there's no issue for kids having it?

Clearly, I'm against kids having it, it just annoys me when people say cannabis is 100% harmless

you asked if children should be able to SMOKE it, i've already said in this thread several times, that when you burn any plant material it releases carcinogens.

if you're posing the question about children consuming cannabis, then i've given my views. there's no possible reason that children would need / want to consume it... they're children.

So we both agree that there is some harm then?

when people say it's harmless im sure they're meaning you're not going to take it and end up killing someone on it or going on a rampage lol not saying that it's not going to harm your body. kids can smoke it if they want and im sure they do in other countries ie countries where it's perfectly legal for kids to smoke tobacco too. reason we wouldn't want kids smoking it here is because it's our integrated morals, just like kids not being allowed to smoke cigarettes and alcohol, and anyone who would suggest they were to be allowed in this country would be called immoral.

I pretty much agree, just that people who say it's completely harmless should perhaps use different words then
