[News] Canada legalises recreational cannabis use.

Well, I can obviously only go on my own experience but adults who smoke pot all seem a bit lacking in one way or another.
Out of interest what do you think ARE the potential health risks if ingested. Remember people with underlying mental health problems will have them exacerbated by alcohol and even just modern living so don't rely on that one. Genuine question about what you think.
My main concern would be long term mental health. Maybe there's very little risk, and that would be great. But I don't think we have a lot of data to show that there is not risk in the long term.
Well I'm not relying on anything, and underlying problems make it harder to know what the truth is.
Therein lies the problem, it has always been on the wrong schedule. Mind you ole Queen Vic took it for period pains I believe. Teresa Mays husband has shares in G.W Pharma and her bank balance has a certain percentage in drug money. They export and we can't use it.
Thanks for your answer.

But surely they were alcoholics before homelessness? How many weed smokers end up homeless because of their habit?
Homeless Alcoholics look like they're on deaths doorstep, like heroin addicts. I've not seen any weed addicts in that state.
No, of course not all homeless people were alcoholics.
More people drink alcohol than have cannabis, so that alone is going to have an impact on the numbers. Also, just because alcohol can damage lives is not a great reason to legalise another drug just because it might not damage as many.
I've already addressed that. Homeless people can get a couple of quid and buy some alcohol from the shop a few yards away. They can't do that with cannabis.

So if cannabis was legal, the homeless who are spending their last pennies on alcohol might buy weed instead?
If so, isn't that more reason to legalise it?
I would imagine some would. If they can grab something easily and get high, and especially if it's cheaper than alcohol, then yes.
Would the weed do them less harm than the alcohol? If so, then yes, why not?

I read this before I saw your name and assumed it was another argument for legalisation. I exercised my right to act as I choose for many years and the law told me i was a criminal.
And that core support is part of the electorate that you also are a part of, and they are perfectly entitled to their views and beliefs. If you wish to see the legalisation of cannabis you best get a new government, and the only way that will happen is if the Tories screw up Brexit even more than they have so far!

I know plenty who still like a toke and they are no more lacking than the rest of us. BUt like you say our experiences are different.

Yep. Life's going to be so much better when the grey vote is populated by ageing twats like me. There's a massive disparity between sense and staying in power at the moment. Once old ravers are really old, the power will shift.

You haven't been following my posts very well, if you need to ask what a parent should say. Definitely not your suggestion.

That is because it is a crime. The key to doing illegal things is to be very discrete about it and don't get caught. Due to the anti social nature of smoking weed, it is right that 94% of the population are given protection by the law from this activity.

Absolutely Belle. I know several Brighton secondary school teachers who partake of a variety of class A drugs in their own time.
But as people get older they tend to gravitate towards the Tories..........there are exceptions of course but as people get older they want to keep what is theirs and what they have worked for, will their be enough of a shift in future years to make a massive change to the UK political scene? I rather doubt it, unlucky Jeremy!

This is an interesting question I think. I wonder how many of the 94% actually want protection from the activity?
Personally I would rather they used the diminishing police and justice budget for something that might actually be harmful to me. I consider policing cannabis to be a waste of my taxes.
Thankfully, globally we seem to be shifting in our attitudes to 'drugs' and how to deal with them
Not where I live mate. [emoji23]
But yeah, I'm talking post Corbyn anyway. I think he's a prick.
