Dont legalise weed in the UK

[GlenSausio]

The altered state that the UK weed puts you in, is not healthy. Complete detachment from reality. On a par with acid. I would argue cocaine, ecstasy and speed are much weaker drugs than UK weed now - you are still on the same planet. (Caveat - extremists).

For kids, weed is bad. It kills their motivation when they need it most.

Lastly, weed is an anti social drug, once the giggly phase has past. It separates people rather than bringing them together.

Just interested to get your view on the UK drug culture.

FFS, what wrong with doing four tins of Tennetts Super (9%), it is a zone and just as valid.

Drugs is bollocks......

I know an 18 year old kid who's showing all the behaviours of serious addiction - with weed. It's not harmless for everyone - just like alcohol.

But I'd still decriminalise it and make it government controlled. As the Swiss have done with hard drugs.

Young people get addicted to the nicotine in their joints. It's the nicotine hit they are chasing, without realising it.

I thought that is used to be fine a few years ago but the new forms of skunk etc that have come on the scene within the last 5 or 10 years are brutal and really mess people up?

If it's legalised it can be controlled and limits placed on the strength.

I've been lurking around the Crohn's Disease forum and there they have a medical marijuana section because a lot of people find it's the best treatment. Of course in Britain they'd put you and your doctor in prison for it even if it is the best thing for you.

The same can be said for booze, it all depends on the user, I know people earning 100k plus in senior roles who have smoked daily for 20 years with no issue, I also know other people who it has created issues for.

In the UK weed has doubled in price in the last 6-7 years same grade of weed just twice the price with all the extra £ going in the crime gangs pockets.

I would legalise and regulate closely not ideal but keeping it illegal does not seem to do much except make gangs richer.
