Sign it if you think you should have freedom.

I dont agree with heroin and crack but cannabis and mdma should be legalized (Y) Cannabis helps me eat & sleep. And dont say well thats from cannabis. cause i had it before i even smoked it & started it cause it helps.

This is a petition by Caroline Lucas who's an MP so her voice will actually mean something.

You gotta be a fully brit to sign it.

Think I'm just gonna have to jump in here and say I genuinely don't care what happens. I don't know that much about it anyway. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean people will stop using it but just because it's made legal doesn't mean it's totally safe. Plus it's possible that people will start to overuse drugs if they're legalised, which is hardly going to be healthy for their health or their bank accounts...

As a libertarian I would like to see all drugs one day legalised. However, I don't take in this rubbish we're fed that cannabis is a safe drug (which I myself used to believe) and regard it as highly dangerous, indeed it's a gateway drug.

While I would like to see drugs legalised completely (I think you should have the freedom to be as stupid and reckless as you want provided it doesn't affect other individuals) I wouldn't back legalising any of them until the National Health Service (NHS) has been abolished. With state health care the problem is that you can sit smoking as much dope as you want and when your mind is gone, you overdose and so on - state health care means everybody else who looks after themselves and who doesn't engage in such stupidity has to pay for you.

Privatise state healthcare, then i'll back drugs being taken off the criminal offences book.

I strongly support decriminalisation of every drug , especially MDMA which hasn't conclusively been proven to cause any damage afaik.

I find it ludicrous alcohol is legal yet the likes of recreational drugs are not.

no, people are stupid and dont know their own limits

[AlexJRiley]

Dont care either way, but if they legalise it, people will start driving high and there will be a lot more road traffic accidents.

Don't legalise them. The issue for me, is people will be MORE LIKELY to start using them if they are legal. If someone wants to be a **** and take them, that is their own fault - but by legalising them I think you are giving the message that people should start taking them - something I am strongly against.
