    WHy is marijuana illegal (in the uk)

    And it's not worse than smoking tobacco (like cigarettes e.g.). So why is it illegal?

    Because Parliament has decided it should be.

    If you have a problem with this, please contact your local MP who will be more than happy to discuss it with you. If you do not like his response, vote for another at the next election.

    This is how our democracy works.

    There's a million reasons why marijuana should be Legal.

    It'll become legal when all the current politicians retire/die and are replaced with people from our generation.

    So probably 20 years.

    Because it has proved to cause tendencies towards paranoia and other mental illnesses, many believe marjuana use is also an influence to people to try harder, more dangerous drugs. Smoking marjuana more then twenty times is believed to increase a male's chance of contracting skitzophrenia by 60%.

    Because it ***** you up innit.

    It's not as bad as alcohol but alcohol use is too widespread to be banned.

    Basically this. The laws were made in the 70s when they knew pretty much nothing about Mary Jane. I mean, how stupid is it for LSD to be a Class A drug when it hasn't got any long term ill effects, and when used in a controlled clinical environment has significant benefits for people in therapy for marriage counselling, for example?
