Post your unpopular opinions...

Thanks. I think this thread is turning quite conservative! It should be an excuse for people so slag off others, balling at them about how their opinion is wrong or saying about how being a cook is woman's profession. Or is that just my house...

Some of the stuff being said in this thread is disgusting in my opinion, fair enough everyone is entitled to their opinions but every single opinion that I asked reasons for I got ignored

Some people just like to be controversial and purposely offensive whilst simultaneously being blind to their ignorance.

...and others are just tw@ts!

Because it wouldn't work. It's very easy to grow marijuana anywhere and difficult to find it and tax it. People will just grow it and do it in their homes. Policemen won't be going round people's houses searching for the weed and putting taxes on it.

The black market will just take over anyway and people will smoke it 1000x more than people do now which makes it worse for your health. Having it illegal makes people more reluctant to do it than if it was taxed. And taxing it wouldn't work anyway, it wouldn't bring in as much tax money as cigarettes. So it's not really worth it to the government, but other governments see it differently that's why it's now legal in some American states.

You've stated some fair points, imagine it from the smokers opinion though; having the product for free, you grow it self in your own home, buy whatever equipment and just smoke it on your own - the government makes no money, maybe one reason it's illegal?

That's what some people think, look up the benefits of hemp,

True, police won't "waste" resources searching for weed - something they shouldn't be doing anyway...

Making something illegal won't make it go, away - it's just run by criminals (and I don't know anyone who doesn't smoke because it's illegal, or won't because it's illegal) and while people might smoke it more, it takes around 15,000 weed joints in under twenty minutes to overdose on the chemical THC, PLUS Marijuana has proved to help people in pain, destroy some cancerous cells and even reduce the chances of lung cancer

Rappers can sing about it, movie stars can boast about it (and even smoke on air) why are they "allowed to smoke or boast about it".. something that will influence teenagers and other members of public to start smoking, then when they're caught they have a warning on their CRB or even arrest.

And finally cigarettes and alcohol (maybe even coffee) are legal and even worse for your body compared to weed, they're all legal and old in our supermarkets - tobacco and alcohol are taxed "to deter people"...

People have said they were afraid to tell me they were gay because they didnt know how I'd react and thought I'd stop speaking to them.

Miranda isn't funny

I feel you were slightly high when writing this because some things just don't make sense :P

Smoking marijuana never proved to cure cancer. You can't say marijuana is completely healthy. Cigarettes used to not be so taxed at one point in time and people thought they were the best things ever until people started dying of all sorts of cancers.

It's only recent discoveries and new information that has helped us understand more about cigarettes and why they're seriously damaging to your health. The same thing just hasn't been done for marijuana yet. Maybe in a few years time there might be deaths and illnesses caused from weed too. We just don't have enough information about it yet. Even though frequent smokers just can't wait to tell the world how you can make walls out of it or whatnot, the truth is, no one knows about marijuana well enough.

Even if it isn't healthy, yes taxing is one way to deter people but it won't be as effective. People will not be put off by taxes because why pay for it when you can grow it yourself?

Cigarettes and alcohol have been around for hundreds of years and we know all there is to know about the consequences of those and we can teach children about it, but marijuana is only a recently popular thing and we need to research and observe the consequences before arriving at a solution.

Cannabis isn't a recently popular thing, people have been smoking it for centuries. It was extremely popular in the 60's and 70's. All the consequences of cannabis are known and they are shown not to be anywhere near as damaging as alcohol. I don't agree with the whole 'Cannabis is healthier for you than tobacco' because the majority of people mix weed with tobacco to smoke it!

Alcohol is taxed, yet people don't brew their own. People are lazy, they won't grow their own. The former leader of the Governments drug committee even said that cannabis isn't dangerous and he got sacked! The only reason cannabis is not legal is because of the label attached to it, most people see it as a 'dangerous illegal drug'. It would not go down well with the majority of society if the Government were to legalise it.

By 'recently' I did mean post 1900s.

Single mothers are a modern day scourge on the UK. Every time i go out I see hundreds of them. All paid for by the taxpayer( (slavery).

Many of these single mothers have good reason to be single mothers. Not all sleep around and have 5 kids by 5 different men.

And how do you know they're a single mother or that it's even their child and not their friends child? Unless you ask, you have no way of knowing.

I used to know someone who is a single parent. Her childrens' father was killed fighting for his country. Don't tar all single mothers with the same brush.
