What is your view on cannabis?

[velvet]

So we both agree that there is some harm then?

.... :S i never said it was 100% harm free when smoked.
when put into edibles i can safely say it is 100% harm free.

you're basing you argument on the assumption that i've said smoking weed doesn't harm you in any way, which i haven't. :S

You didn't say that, someone else did and I was questioning them saying it was completely harm free

alcohol in moderation is harm free, it doesn't mean kids should have a glass of wine every week.

I'm not saying if it was harm free, kids should have cannabis, I'm saying if it was harm free, could kids have cannabis? And I'm pretty sure there's no age limit on actually drinking alcohol in your own home if you're under parental supervision... Plus I'm sure any amount of alcohol does some harm, just not enough for the body to suffer any damage

My part of this debate isn't really so much on legalising it, it's just me being astounded that people are saying that cannabis is absolutely harmless. To be fair, there's not that many things at all that could be considered absolutely harmless

cannabis is completely harmless, it's just smoking that isn't.

Personally, i don't think it's ok. People say it doesn't harm you, it will boost the economy, ect. But if it's illegal, it's most likely illegal for a reason. If that reason wasn't good enough, the government would have terminated the law on cannabis and it would be legal. Some countries choose to legalize it, and some don't. On the other hand, you can see the effects of it in The Netherlands because i think it's completely legal there.

gay marriage was illegal until recently, does that mean that it's wrong? the government isn't always right.

That was a religious thing though, different case imo

Still not effectively legal till it completes another voting stage

and yes just because the government says something is wrong, does not mean it is. If they made a law saying that going to work on a tuesday is immoral, would you change your values to believe that? :S

Of course I would! I would be having a party, no work on Tuesday! That would be a result, and I would personally kiss Clegg and Cameron.

(I get your point, just not the best example :L)
