No, really, what? :S

I think it's bad. I think all drugs are bad... I'm not thinking of a tax perspective, so I wouldn't care less if it completely vanished from the face of the planet. I also don't think very highly of people who smoke it either, and I think the laws are a bit lax on it as well, I'm sure I've smelt people smoking weed in the streets and wonder how they get away with it?

(Or perhaps I'm just actually clueless to what weed smells like )

Must say, despite the post being badly worded, great topic. I'm surprised this hasn't come up before?

Also must say that I'm surprised at the outcome so far, I thought only the chavs and 'cool' kids smoked weed, obviously I'm way out of the times

Nah cannabis is bad for the heart. I hear cocaine has health benefits, though.

don't have to smoke it to think it should be legalised or to have a positive opinion on it?

No, you don't. But personally I prefer it not to be legalised. I wouldn't want more people going around being high in public Of course, I'm not thinking of the tax implications. I don't know much about it. I'd also get rid of alcohol and cigarettes, but I'm sure the country would collapse or something to that aspect

There's massive benefit to be had through legalising cannabis, not least the reported health benefits in relation to cancer. Hemp fibre and other hemp-related products are also proven to be extremely environmentally friendly, especially with regard to "hemp plastic" which is not only biodegradable itself but would reduce the need for oil-manufactured plastics, so it has a double benefit in that sense - this however is its own downfall as the oil companies which hold so much influence as "friends" of the government battle ceaselessly to keep it out of production lest they lose out on their profits.

As a drug, it doesn't excite me. Nothing against it as such, it just doesn't have a great effect on me and most of the people I know who are into "weed culture" are utter morons

It does have a very strong smell yes, I've walked through many groups of people town smoking and you can quite clearly tell they're smoking weed I too wonder how they get away with it.

I'm not being stupid, it is illegal to smoke it, isn't it? Or at least be in possession of it? I'm pretty sure if I decide to carry around a gun, something will be done. I know a gun is different to cannabis, but a law's a law.

It is illegal yes, but police are much more lenient towards it than other drugs. I know that even if you go to court for possessing it, you can be let off with a "cannabis warning" which you wouldn't receive for any other drug

Well what's the point in it being made illegal then? A waste of money in court costs if you only get a warning...
