So, what do you think?

Following the US states, Uraguay, now Canada.

Think there is a shift in world opinion on legalisation.

Personally I can only see it as a good thing, all the money out of the criminal system, all those saved police resources, boosts to economy, tourism.

Never smoked it myself but there is evidence that it does wonders for certain medical conditions. I'm all for it, especially if it lowers crime etc (time will tell).
 
It's only a matter of time - The dominoes are starting to fall. I think it's inevitable and a positive move in the right direction.

I've heard that too, can work as a pain killer and such?

I'd take legalised marijuana over legalised alcohol.
 
I work on a dry site in an industry where being over the limit would likely get you sacked, and for very good reason heavy industry is dangerous at the best of times. I have no general issue with people smoking cannabis, I'm all for things that take money out of criminals hands and regulation generally makes us safer. But that said I would want to know how driving under the influence and other safety type concerns would be addressed and the fundamental research behind how long it stays in the body and affects performance clearly shared. The law written in such a way that people who take it can be held to account for their condition in the same way as someone over the alcohol in blood limit.
 
pfft conservatives wont legalise it? tell them they can privatise the weed market and watch how quick it becomes legal :D:D

if its something that people are going to do regardless it should be legalised and controlled and of course taxed.

interesting piece from the independent a few months back

what I find staggering is the quoted benefit to the uk economy being £3.5 billion a year. that's proper money in anyones books

I was out at lunch a couple of weeks ago and some guys in high vis & hard hats were smoking a spliff. My first thought was 'I wouldn't want to be working with them!'

There's a time and place, but idiots will always be idiots. Legal or not doesn't make that much difference IMO.

You are posting some nonsense recently aren't you.
 
Here come the "libertarian" maximum authoritarian right wingers that want to control what you put in yo' body.

Honestly who actually gives a crap? People will get drugs somehow, the worst of them being synthetic variants with little oversight because it's "derp illegal". And the higher classes of society will always get away with it because high-class usually means above authority.

So y'all's war on drugs is just a war on the poor having drugs, check & mate.
