Should Marijuana Be Legalised Already?

gReAT tell Theresa fu*cking May then to sort our her weed market

That... not how it works, dude...

well what you think 'common sense' is isn't what it is

smoke a blunt and try again

some 'Muslims' have been terrorists.

you're then basically saying the 'vast majority' of Muslims are terrorists...

Generally, the majority of the things you could list aren't as easy to get addicted to as marijuana. If I eat one chocolate bar, I'm probably not going to become addicted to it. The same thing can not be said for marijuana.

Have you ever heard of a chocoholic?

Chocolate is full of sugar and sugar is an addiction, I know for a fact that sugar activates the reward center in our brain much the same way that drugs do, and provokes similar cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

The more chocolate or sweets we eat the more we are reinforcing those neuropathways, causing the brain to become increasingly hardwired to crave sugar.

So you might not be addicted after one chocolate bar, but after a certain period of time you will become dependant on sugar like a drug.


Have you ever actually smoked marijuana?

I did once, and I am not addicted, one puff will not make someone addicted, but if the person abuses the substance then it can lead to a craving and addiction.

So my point still stands, if you smoke marijuana in moderation then you will be fine but if abused just like anything else it can lead to an addiction.

The same can be said for porn.

They could be Police use it as a reason to search people so it doesn't look like they've searched people for no reason. It's their gateway to searching people for other things basically.

I'm not denying the fact that one can become addicted to chocolate. My point is this risk is severely lower than the the risk of becoming addicted to marijuana. Not everyone is the same as you. A lot of people will become addicted after smoking one joint. I also don't agree with porn.

It depends on the person, i smoked my first joint with another guy. He is a meth head who works in mc d and Im studying law and havnt touched another drug. Blanketing everyone as smoking weed as unstable and dependent is as stupid as calling all Muslims terrorists.

Marijuana addiction is very rare but it is a real issue.

And how do you know they are addicted?

Maybe they have anxiety and use it to control their anxiety, or to relieve themselves of pain or depression.

There are many other reasons why someone might smoke weed aside from addiction.

It helps and can be beneficial rather than a poison like cigarettes.

Absolutely not. I used to smoke, I'm not against smoking weed, but making it legally available would be a disaster. We're already gearing up to lose the foreign workforce post-Brexit and, in my experience, the British workforce are lazy enough as it is. They don't need more incentive to do nothing.

If anything we need weed to survive post-brexit. Marijuana sales totalled $6.7 Billion in 2016 in the USA...they are making the right moves.

Hold the phone, there is no way marijuana addiction isn't rare. They're addicted to the drug if they smoke it too much. The people who use it to help relieve themselves should go and speak to their GP for more practical, effective advice. It may help, but they have to keep paying for it and they'll probably become addicted. Yes, not everyone smokes weed because they're addicted, but the fact of the matter is there are some who smoke because they're addicted. Should we just ignore these people and say legalising it is for the best. I'm opposed to cigarettes, and in most cases it isn't beneficial.

They could be Police use it as a reason to search people so it doesn't look like they've searched people for no reason. It's their gateway to searching people for other things basically.

They should legalize prostitution well they are at it as well.

Make it safer and healthier for both parties and would be another huge boost to the tax revenue.
