I'm stoned right now so I just thought I'd ask the question, should cannabis be legalised?

The Uk laws are that if you're 17 or under, you'll be arrested and taken to a police station for a formal warning (your parent or guardian will be asked to attend). If it's not your first offence you may earn a drugs conviction in court.

If you are over 18, the police will confiscate your drugs and will most likely give you a warning - but they still have the power to arrest you if you are:
a repeat offender
smoking in public
a threat to public order
have cannabis near any premises used by children.

Supplying and dealing remains a far more serious offence than possession and the maximum penalty for supplying and dealing Class C is still 14 years plus an unlimited fine.

What are you laws and should it be legalised?

I dont think so..., Its bad for your health and can kill you.

Cannabis kills in very rare cases, usually getting high with other people and reciving no help as they cant be bothered if something hapens to you. Cannabis doesnt need to be smoked, and when smoked, cannabis doesnt not kill, its the tobacco put into the mix.

(In VERY VERY rare cases, the chemicals put into rocky weed can kill, but like i say, very rare)

The reason I started was that I didnt wanna have nothin to do with it, but as people started to smoke more weed and it was harer to get served, I tough, ah fuck it. Now, its jus like going out on a drinknig binge, tonight I jus wanna go out and get fucked off my head on spliffs. Plus, it can be used for no recreational use.

I think it is a tricky subject.

If drugs are going to be legalised only certain drugs should be completely legalised, there is roughly about £1-4billion to be made from taxation on drugs. And if drugs were legalised lisenced producers could make drugs that you know are as safe as possible. (i.e. they would be X% of the drug, and X% of another substance that isnt harmful). It would also mean that crime rates would go down significantly, as the profit margins wouldnt be in the current region of 2000%, but more like 200%.

However, there would be very high costs in setting up a watchdog organisation that would make sure there is some sort of quality control from drug vendors. But companies that currently make drugs for treating illnesses would divert R&D $s to developing modified versions of recreational drugs which give higher kicks and dont get people addicted. This could mean a massive decrease in medical breakthroughs. Unless the government gave genorous tax breaks to reacreational drug companies who developed medical drugs as well, but then the money created from taxation of drugs is quickly starting to dissapear to fund its creation.

Also, i would like to see drug dependance centres for people who are completely addicted to drugs like Heroine, they can get free access to heroin that is known to be safe, which must be used within the centre to stop this heroin from being circulated into the illegal drugs trade. This way, people will stop commiting crimes to get heroin, and if there are any problems arising from Heroine ODs etc... they can recieve immediate attention. They have to prove they are addicted to heroine before they can use the dependance centres, and they must agree to take part in some form of rehabilitation, so slowly they can get off the drug, and minimise the risks.

What is alcoholic drinks or tobacco needed for (nowadays)?

Next question

To relieve stress off life. Sometimes, I tihnk, fuck it, Tonight i'm going out till i start vommiting. And then I'll drink some more. I prefare a drink to a jigga.

well i heard the government are considering selling cannabis and cocaine in pharmacies this way customers are sure to have a good product with no crap in it and drug dealers would loose out etc i thought it was a good idea
