Yeah, it's a bit of an incoherent point, that
Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

It's almost like prohibition causes substances to become more potent and more dangerous.

No, you don't. That's why obviously high people, or those that test positive, don't get charged with retrospective possession

I've not smoked weed since I was a student 20 years ago, and I still think it's a stupid policy suggestion.
Pretty sure that's not correct in the UK, might well be the case in other countries though.

Second this especially if there was proper control of THC levels in variants sold, as research has show higher doses seem to have the most damaging effect on users, along with funding for continuous research.
Considering we produced 320 tonnes of the stuff (https://leftfootforward.org/2021/04...of-medical-cannabis-but-brits-cant-access-it/), i am surprised we aren't a bit more akin to Israel in medical use especially as it could be a useful stepping stone for legalisation.

This is like a programme that keeps being repeated.
I'm not talking from a legal viewpoint. I'm talking from a logical one, in order to consume something you must in some form possess it.
People might be hesitant to admit to something that could jeopardise their jobs/livelihoods etc. without it being strictly illegal.

Then you're talking crap...
Lay off the drugs and you might be able to remember what you posted earlier.
A: I don't take any, based on your posts I imagine you're prescribed a fair few though.
B: Yes, well done. I made a slight error regarding the legality of use and possession.
C: By admitting to consuming something you are, by proxy admitting to possessing it also. Which again, would likely make people hesitant to self report when any aspect of that could be illegal or otyherwise damaging to yourself.

Slight error? You've doubled down on it and then claimed you weren't talking about legality when you were.
Again the surveys are anonymous. I've already pointed this out to you...
As an occasional recreational user, bugger off. It literally just makes you feel good, makes bad films better and enhances enjoyment or various things (music, video games, chatting crap with friends).
It's just so mild, being class A would be utterly ridiculous. You can't die from having too much, it doesn't make your reckless or violent, literally what's the problem?
I have some about once a month and manage to run a small business well enough, leave me alone.

My entire point being that one self reported study showing a 5 point increase in usage may not be a reliable source, once you actually consider other factors.
Something more reliable might be cannabis related hospitalisations, which actually have increased slightly in some demographics.

Still hardly worthy of being made a class A drug, which will ruin far more lives than legalising it.
What do you mean?
I could take you to some factories in Manchester right now to show you all the illegal tobacco.

It will only ruin more lives due to people choosing to continue using.
Its not addictive, right? So that can't be the problem.
Can cause mental problems in some users
Caporegime
No no, he said it was safe.
Don't forget it will also continue to better people's lives due to the same.
We know it is not an addictive drug yet billions globally use it, and have done since before laws, so the net effects must be positive else would usage continue?
I know I'd probably be in jail without it... wait..
