Should The UK Follow Germany To Legalise Cannabis? 

Spot on regarding anti social behaviour mate if i was drunk in past and some1 made a comment or move i was unhappy with im more likely too open the fridge than avenues of my own self destruction contemplating revenge in a drunken rage.

does not make you less violent

If its so harmful why is Britain the biggest so say medical cannabis, no difference, in the world, we should also free up farmers to grow hemp as well, hemp is fantastic at soaking up carbon dioxide, trouble is it all controlled by big pharmaceutical companies thats why government wont legalise it, follow the money.

This comment got point

this is what weed haters dont understand. alcoholics can be dangerous and a stoner isnt gonna smash you in the face

Freedom to choose is better than banning anything. Education is key. It’s possible to use cannabis properly and without getting negative effects if you limit the time and frequency you use it. CBD balances it out too. Andrew Huberman’s podcast on cannabis is a must watch for anyone who wants to or already does use.

Exactly - this is 100% the argument I go by. If we are to have any consistency whatsoever in drug legislation we really need to either: A) outright ban alcohol and tobacco which are objectively more harmful than cannabis B) Legalise cannabis considering it's less harmful than the above C) Stop legislation on what people can or can't put in their bodies These are the three clear path avenues and if people don't begin to act fairly and consider what others like to do to relax alongside what they use themselves then you'll find people who are pro alcohol yet anti cannabis will eventually lose the right to drink alcohol as simply out of spite many people will push to ban alcohol to prove a point eventually and there will be heavy support from the Islamic communities as it's already against their religion to drink alcohol period.

​@@mkaykaykayyI agree with this, honestly no government should be banning substances - people should instead be educated very early on surrounding substance abuse and side effects. At the end of the day if people want to do a drug they will find a way to do it and while it's illegal it's much lower quality than a well regulated drug market. Where the argument of cost comes up from those who do abuse - that's what the taxation should cover if done correctly. Alcohol for example in the current system costs the UK more than it makes the UK (EST. £12.6bn into the UK in 2023, while the cost for NHS + social schemes is EST £3.5bn for the NHS and £21BN for social schemes) - this isn't to say the tax isn't enough, the problem is the UK is poor at optimising spending. Considering rehab is covered within the realm of the NHS here - it's baffling to consider why over 5* the funds is going to social schemes as opposed to actual treatment for those seriously suffering as the cost for prevention and lesser rehab social clubs should be considerably less - particularly considering group settings. So the main challenge here is mismanagement of public funds as opposed to should the drug be legal or not be legal as in any consistent world - yes it should be legal or if not both alcohol and tobacco should be illegal also. People simply want the government out of their lives as they can manage their own lives and finances much better than the government can it appears

@james970027 Precisely this!

Not to mention the prescription pills and even the over the counter nasties.

And sugar.

Governments are too powerful now and we are doomed

​@emmabaker4925 that's the real killer in that bag

Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

Yes he's Dr.benfungi. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.

damn infuriating so it is

Especially when British sugar is up there with the biggest producers on the planet

Teresa May’s husband would like it legalizing and i quote! Philip May’s company, Capital Group, owns a significant share in GW, which is one of the biggest cultivators of cannabis in the world.

The funniest thing is the amount that’s being imported from the USA and tax being payed to the US government but completely missing our tax system 😂

I love it and you are totally right, imagine the profits cadburys would make and the rest, Haribo, Mars, take away sales lol

I've smoked since I was 14 and never developed psychosis or schizophrenia. Have periods where I smoke 3+ ounces a month, never done me any harm

Even risky drugs should be legal, they are avenues to places. People ought to have the right to choose where they want to be.

of course there is, we would all be peaceful and protest thier illegal wars, they dont want that now do they?

Yeah right, as a smoker I would still grow my own. And I will sell my excess tax free. I WILL NEVER PAY TAX ON WEED.........

@@danielturner9027 Yeah right. Do you get this animated with VAT on carrots or potatoes? So quit the indignant freedom-herb cliches. No reason weed should be exempt, unless you're a tax dodger.

Easiest way is to regulate the sale and decriminalize crop growing, that kills the illegal drug business model and allows the sale for medical reasons and also should prevent unnecessary spots being taken in prisons

Regulation will also stop any additives being put in - things that many users right now are unaware are there at the present time! It will also alert users to the dosage that they take as regulation will mean that users will be aware of the amount of active ingredients that is in each dose and they can educate themselves to which dose they are most comfortable taking.

@@danielturner9027 The German law is good in that people can grow their own cannabis. No need to pay tax if you are consuming your own plants.

There's the irony, we could choose to drink liquid heroin every single night (and maybe even in the daytime too) and nobody bats an eye. It is a disgrace. No reason for alcohol to be legal when given the biological science.

I got serious bother from the social services for this, despite me saying it was for my seizures and I was using a 50/50 CBD/THC plant but still got called an addict.

@@andrewbeckley728 Yeah there's a lack of education, even amongst police forces too. I think part of the problem is the strict marketing rules on scheduled medicines. It's hard to make awareness the change in the law since 2018 due to it.

Yep been unemployed for a long time, but got a job offer last year for a desk job, but failed on my induction for testing positive on a drugs test! Absolute disgrace, as it really helps me anxiety of an evening. Now say if I drank a bottle of vodka and beat up my family I would've been good to go!

I worked for network rail. Lost my job Because of dirty test. Boss still calls me asks if I’m “ clean “ tell him yip smoking more than ever ….

The tax they put on cigarettes is literally also like 200% the actual cost of the product - i.e in Barcelona a pack is still €5-6 while in the UK it's close to £15-16 so considering the number of people who actually get lung cancer and who smoke this tax across smokers should more than cover treatment costs - yet they claim it doesn't similarly to alcohol which is another odd one: Alcohol for example is estimated to cost the NHS £3.5bn per year (and it's the NHS who can also be used to freely access rehab for it), while "social schemes" get £20bn a year for alcohol related purposes, over 5* what the NHS get. I fear the main problem we have in the UK in the area of addiction isn't the massive costs caused by addicts but more so the abdominal management of taxpayer funds - if you're spending 20bn a year in "social schemes" I'm extremely eager to see the finer details of where all these funds are going and why more isn't allocated to the NHS instead who would be assumedly better versed and skilled to educate people on substance abuse.

I’ve literally never met a single person in my entire life having to go to hospital for weed use.

And it's a great feeling to be one! It's done the opposite of harm me, it's healed me

They’ll just move to something harder, and it all begins again 🤦🏻‍♂️

Looking at the states in the USA that legalised weed your statement is patently untrue. Baltimore legalised marijuana use, crime has continued to sky rocket. In general crime remains “high”... I’ll get my coat.

YOU'LL HAVE A BIGGER GANG DEALING IT !!! GOVERNMENT!!!😏🙂

Do you feel the gangs rule our streets ? Would love to hear your description of why

Organised crime groups and gangs will always operate in society. The issue is how we police them. Doesn't matter if cannabis is legal or not they will still do their dirty work and be a tumor on society who feed off the poor and vulnerable. Cannabis is just one of their vehicles. Criminal gangs made the most of prohibition of alcohol.....

Behave yourself, skunk is a strain like northern lights or purple haze, have a little guess why it’s called skunk, and it’s not because it’s “dangerous”…🤣

Haze skunk cheese kush...first are thc dominant...later are cbd dominant. Thc give the mental high...cbd body relaxation

My dad was a stoner all his life and in the 70s he would have blunts of just the herb and pass them around his friends. Then when skunk came he would put a few crumbs in his normal ciggies. Big difference in potency, its not your grandpappys weed on the streets these days.

@@canonicalgio7837 Skunk is just another word invented to make weed sound dangerous. I work in the industry in Canada. No such thing as 'skunk' as a classification. We have strains from 15% to 35% THC. People choose strength based on their tolerance. Titration - which most of the anti-cannabis people are struggling to grasp.

It’s generally because the UK variety was bread into existence by Vietnamese gangs so it’s hard for the police and news to dissociate it from crime

You have to have a diagnosis. Most cannabis users havnt got anything wrong with them.. Other than they're hungry af

Same

Ditto im 66 smoked since 15 its fine ,drink killed my sister and many friends

Studies from the Netherlands show generational lowering of IQ. Over 25 only, anything less is asking for a dumbed down country. Feel the same way about alcohol. This coming from someone that smoked for 20 years.

Yes I've got friends that have smoked it everyday since they were young and it's fucked then all up in one way or another. I'm not saying it's completely bad but people are too naive saying it's harmless especially the skunk that gets smoked these days

Saddo !!!

Which kills more people than all drugs combined.

The reason alcohol is not illegal is because of the prohibition that if all the people in the country got up tomorrow and went to the government and said to them that the act called the drugs act is causing us harm which it is because it stopping us from doing smoking weed it will be called a statue at large. Another word is an act is causing more danger than Good

@@funnyman9616 Prohibition caused more harm that good,but the Drug is doing the same.

@@funnyman9616 are you able to recompile your words so they make more sense

You make it sound like a revelation. The drug that is widely consumed by a vast proportion on a regular basis…. Shock!!!!!

@@Jafmanz Drugs are demonised by the media whilst alcohol is widely accepted dispite the damage caused, it's obviously not a "revelation". I'm mearly pointing out that our culture is lying to us about something that causes a great deal of harm to us collectively.

Most people will list this that and the other as first drug tried then reveal they tried the first drug while on Alcohol-what a time to be alive 😂😂😂

If anything weed is the only thing keeping some people alive in this fucked up places.

Absolutely 100% . And once we get to that point of reasoning , we can then begin a conversation about the entire system.

That’s the very reason big pharma want it kept illegal. Number 1 they can’t patent it, it’s a plant and 2 they lose revenue of sales of their opioid based pain killers they do hold the patents for.

But thing with alcohol most people have alcohol few times a week when u smoke it’s multiple times a day

@@Josh-bs3ey tell that to the people that go to the pub daily! I worked in a pub and you see the same faces all day everyday, then you have the after work regulars. Then you got those people (like my brother) who needs a beer or 2 everyday to relax. So a lot more people than you think do actually drink every day but what’s worse is binge drinkers who save all their alcohol abuse for the weekend and drink in excess, which causes extreme amounts of issues

@@brumtownmiller6130 Yh but no one has alcohol at work like people would start smoking weed at smoking shelters no one can convince me they work better high

@@Josh-bs3ey lmfao what are you talking about! My college teachers used to go to the pub at lunch, I’ve literally seen people who worked next door to the pub I worked at come in for a pint on their break and I seen people in the pub I work at, go to the pub around the corner and have quick drinks on break. Also you do know there’s levels to being high! There’s 100% where you cont even move and then there slight buzz where your more calm and relaxed but still able to function as you would if you want high. When I used to smoke I would work slightly high, no one knew. All it did was make dealing with angry, rude customers more tolerable. You’re talking from a point of ignorance.

@@brumtownmiller6130 my point is and your missing it when u legalise something it’s almost promoting it and we have proof of this bc as soon as they started selling those stupid vapes they spreaded around the country kids and everyone was using them at school at work literally all day everyday. Vapes have been around ages they only started becoming that popular when they started becoming easily available. If weed become easily available in shops the same will happen and the whole country will be lazy weed smokers

Is it? Which herb are you talking about mint, sage or rosemary?

Pretty obvious isnt it

It’s as bad as alcohol.

​@zubeidaaniz6689 how so? It's never killed a single user?

​@@zubeidaaniz6689your liver disagrees

Exactly

my exact point, it doesnt make sense. let people do what they want. Plus weed isnt as bad as people make it out to be, it helps people with pain, some mental illnesses etc

Well that would involve common sense witch a lot of our politicians seems to be deficient in

They haven’t figured out how to make the most tax profit from it yet because the illegal market is so massive over here so they’ll keep it illegal until they cut everyone else out the game and they can control it and ramp up the price.

Illegal to drive would be impossible because it shows up in your system long after you're sober and will show up much higher results for frequent users like medical users (I'm a medical user already, it's legal to drive if you are not impaired when you are a medical user for this very reason).

I actually thought about growing Skunk #11(Dutch Passion) for my first legal run... but then I settled for Purple Cookie Kush :D

The reason the UK media chose 'Skunk' is simply because the animals are smelly pests.

It's a good scary catchword.

Amen! I’ve been saying this for years when the topic arises and they always just act like they know better .

Correct. Also most uk medical weed is stronger than skunk#1

👍 it’s amazing for depression and having tried other pharmaceutical products I can say cannabis is for me is the best antidepressant I’ve ever taken. They don’t ever give this side of cannabis any credit as they are too busy setting the narrative that cannabis has negative side effects when it comes to mental health and it’s simply not true for many people that suffer with depression. The thing about cannabis is it’s almost instant in it’s effectiveness to relieve depression but those so called anti depressants make you feel worse ( they say to begin with but get better after a while) and the side effects are awful!

Yep, in all honesty you find a large portion of the top earners in this country are quietly drug addicts. Cocaine for example is massive in multiple industries - I'm not saying it's healthy in all cases, but what I am saying is that it really does show there is a difference between people who handle drugs in moderation and those who don't have the same level of control and let the drugs run their life. The answer has always been to educate people as opposed to banning items but the UK has a bad habit of choosing the easy option every time which has led to people on average in society becoming fundamentally less and less capable at doing anything. My partner and I are similar to you - he's in the top 1% of earners and smokes on a daily basis while struggled before it.

Im the same, ive got adhd and bi polar and smoking weed kept me in work for 30 years. I recently stopped because i was made redundant and cant afford it now, My mental health is the worse its ever been without weed

Similar situation, I was going through depression for a few years but generally try to sort through things myself, it all came to a head when I was riding my motorcycle, one of the few things in life keeping me sane...got crashed into and wrecked, left with a permanent leg injury. I hit rock bottom at this point, lost all motivation in life because it had just been years of nothing but bad luck and bad things happening in life...long story short, started smoking weed, it helped with the pain, kept my mind off it and allowed me to actually move around with less issue, it helped out majorly with the negative thoughts, and it kept me relaxed whilst I spent a year rebuilding the bike, it has helped me regain my sanity so to speak. It should be legal, I'm fed up with being told how evil weed is by people who are likely hooked on painkillers/nicotine/vaping/caffiene etc. I'm in a much better place nowadays, all thanks to weed, the only changes I've had have been for the better.

It has helped me with my ptsd a lot and made me a nicer human being.

My partner has brain cancer a tumour in her head, if she could get medical cannabis to treat it she would but the street weed as it were wouldn’t be helping her it would just get her high as a kite so she avoids it and has to rely on things like codeine and cocodomol etc to treat the headaches, of course the pharmaceutical company’s that produce those don’t want to lose her business of buying pills constantly. This is one major reason regulation has to happen here. One Major factor of It being illegal is almost certainly politically lobbied by big pharma

In the UK, due to the black market we have been finding Fentanyl in the weed. One of the main reasons why it is hard for capitalistic countries to legalise weed is due to the power pharmaceutical companies have. They want control over peoples pain, they want to be able to make money from peoples suffering. Sadly there isn't more more to it than that, it is all about greed from people with no empathy for others.

Could not agree more.
