I'm Wonderful and I'm Single Society II

I don't. I should have a debate with you.

Lucia. The govt. will never be able to control the cannabis trade. It is far too widespread. Around 80% of my year have done hash. Around 50% at least do it regularly (Lucy, do you agree these figures are right-ish?). Even if they manage to control it (which they won't), users could easily move onto different drugs- enter salvia and whatnot.

Now. Why don't they legalise it, and tax it. It is reasonable to suggest that the number of users will show a negligible difference. Tax=revenue= improved health services and whatnot. It is unlikely all the tax will have to be used to treat cannabis-related illness in the future, so don't throw me that line .

emm probably about 40% use it regularly I think 50 is too much...

You go to an interesting school!!

Illicit drugs are surpisngly common in rural Scotland.

A surprising number of my friends take drugs and they think I'm a bit unusual that I don't go along with it. Two of my friends started when they were 12. And I have seen it's effects. It messes them up.

And Lucia; thanks for another reason to back up my motion!

weed on prescription for all!

Having seen the effects of drug abuse from a proffessional point of view (when i was working in a pharmacy the last couple of summers) - i have to agree with lucia.

In what way would you say they are messed up?

Mentally.

And I just don't think cannabis should be legalised with all the problems associated with it. Anyway wouldn't it be a bad thing to encourage drug taking? Just chipping away at society's rules.

Although as I said, for those with MS it can be beneficial.

Also, on a slight tangent, prostitution should be effectively legalised by introducing legitimate brothels, where prostitutes can go about their business in a safe environment. It would be impossible to stop prostitution, and so the government has a responsibility to do their utmost to keep these women safe.

I suppose I just have issues with our society in general, needs to be more liberal.
