Exactly. This.
They're waiting for the USA to tell them it's ok to do it as they've been good boys all year.

Would you be so kind to take over and sort out this mess?
They haven't got enough mates positioned as heads of weed growing operations yet.

I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
I'm already having daily fights in the board room at work with people who don't want to rock the boat.
The only solution is to gut the lot and start again. You could put 10 honest to god, well intentioned people in the establishment and they'll be either corrupted or worked out in a few months. Bin them all.

I'm surprised to see so many pro making it legal. I can't stand the stuff and even now when it's illegal, the people I come across smoking it all seem to be blissfully ignorant about the surroundings they smoke it it.
One of my neighbours smokes it and does so with her patio doors open because I assume she doesn't want the smoke or smell of it in her flat, so the two flats above hers of which one is mine, have to put up with the repugnant smell. The other flat in question also had a new born baby at one point, and in summer you need the windows open because the flats get stupidly warm (built 5 years ago and are air tight with a very good EPC rating).
It's my opinion that people who smoke this stuff don't perceive drug driving to be as socially unacceptable as drink driving. Case in point with my neighbours above, I got back to the flat last Friday late morning and it stank of the stuff with only one of them in at the time. They then jumped into their car all of 40 minutes later. Drug driving is also on the rise and that's with it being illegal. If I were to ask the guy above if he felt it was okay to drink and drive, I'm sure his answer would be no.
My other experience of it recently was at a family friendly music festival, which includes a whole section dedicated to kids fairground rides. You have people smoking it whilst stood right next to parents with children. If you want to smoke it, fine, but why can't you wait between the sets and go to the far corner of the site to smoke it where it doesn't have to bother other people?
Hopefully it remains illegal, it isn't beneficial to society for it to be made legal. Whilst drinking is legal, society generally has strict opinion on when drinking is acceptable hence why we don't get people turning up to work drunk.

You could literally swap alcohol and weed and make exactly the same points.
But we do get people turning up to work drunk, how many pilots have been arrested for attempting to fly drunk?
Same reason why pubs dont open till 4:20pm each day, oh wait....
You sure about that?

Sunak’s working how to get a branch of Ritchie’s Pukka Gear on every street corner without the various organised crime elements in the U.K. making him watch his family being fed into a woodchipper before they throw him in last.

This would appear to be the most likely explanation.

I don't agree. People drinking in their own homes doesn't impact other people, the guys two flats below me could be drinking a glass of wine with their windows open and I would be non the wiser.

I'm sure people do, but its an exception surely. I've worked for the same business for 15 years and I've only known of two alcohol related incidents, with only one resulting in dismissal. The other one was just a guy turning up really hungover so was told to go home, thankfully he used public transport to get to and from work. The other guy unfortunately had addiction issues and would go to the pub on his lunch hour and turn up noticeably intoxicated.
I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make? Are you saying because people make poor decisions with alcohol that we should also be accepting of adding people turning up to work under the influence of drugs? I'm sure it happens now when it's illegal, my view is legalising it will make it more common place.
But your view is a worthless opinion without any supporting evidence , let alone your logic seems deeply flawed. If people turning up under the influence of drugs or alcohol are such a critical problem then one of them should be illegal then this has to apply to both, and you should be proposing to ban alcohol to be logically consistent.

Totally agree. Its stinking horrible mind bending stuff.
