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.

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

I started smoking cannabis 18 years ago as a teenage, later switched to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

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.

I'm no user or ultra-liberal. But, legalising it will A) free up prison spots for more deserving criminals, B ) generate a lot of tax revenue, C) take away the criminal gangs' ability to profit from the drug, and D) offer pain relief for those that need it. Really seems like a no-brainer at this point. The feckless wasters that sit around getting wasted, already know where to obtain it anyway. So, society won't get any worse if it's made legal.

@james970027
@james970027 2 месяца назад
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.

Long term weed smoker here having smoked for over 15 years. I can honestly say having quit for over 2 months I notice huge benefits to quitting weed. I can breathe a little better now, my dreams are more vivid, not coughing up brown gack well very little brown stuff in phlegm compared to when I first quit, energy levels are coming back and I am motivated to actually do stuff now. I can see why people enjoy weed but for me personally having smoked it every day for years it does catch up to you and affects the lungs quite badly. Also addiction is very much real for weed and at numerous times I had cravings, felt cold turkey and it affected my mood without having any too.

Where do they find these so called experts from? You can't judge the effects of something you've never used. If they were in as much pain as me and millions of other people are they would do anything to help alleviate the suffering. They talk about the so called negative effects but ignore the fact that they prescribe powerful opiates for minor conditions. The private prescription shambles they set up in the UK isn't patient orientated and all they're interesting in doing is grabbing as much money as they possibly can from desperate people trying not to step outside the law. We need patient led support for people suffering from conditions that have not responded to conventual medicine and the government needs to ensure that the current system is brought to heel so it's not just available to those that can afford the rip off prices the private clinics are charging. Legalizing it would do away with the need for private clinics monopoly and ensure everyone had access to what has become the norm in many other countries.

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.

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.

As a British citizen who has been smoking cannabis for 11 years now i believe we need to legalize it

Here in canada you can buy ounces for £50. The black market doesnt exist because you simply cannot compete with legal prices that are as low as that

How do you know it doesn't affect them in anyway shape or form or not dependant on it. Do you live in their body !? Also judging by your name smoking illegal drugs I'm sure would not be allowed in your religion !?

@@winbig1 It probably does affect them, but surely we now have enough evidence to say Alcohol is much worse for health and Social issues! Yes Cannabis is illegal but has been around forever, available everywhere and Millions of people using it! Cannabis can be used for Medicinal uses and has done in Asia and Middle East for Millennia, the pharmaceutical industry would hate for Cannabis to be legal because they are the ones who would suffer financially! One last thing if Alcohol was illegal and there was a debate about it, it would Never be legalised knowing what we know about it Now!

@@winbig1 And how do you know it does affect them or they are dependent? Do YOU live in their body? I'm a medical user, I have been prescribed it for over a year and take it every single day, from morning until I go to sleep. I vape it 5 times a day, 7 days a week. It has changed my life and helped me like no medication or therapy ever did. I am able to live my life now after almost 30 years of suffering and trying to fight with medication that was not only useless, but has left me with permanent side effects that haven't left me even years after stopping the medication. Not one person who doesn't know I'm a medical user is able to tell I have vaped cannabis even immediately after I've done it. It is what lets me function as a healthy part of the society.

The more these people opposed legalisation the more they help the cause. The guy literally said it may reduce the illegal market by half or 2/3s, how is that not a positive thing Half of all weed would be safe and regulated? Sign me up

Interesting fact - UK is the biggest legal exporter of cannabis in the WORLD. If you don't believe me do some research. Not only in recent times either, this has been the case for years. It has always seem very hypocritical to me of the government to not make it legal when they are the worlds biggest dealer themselves. ''The UK dominated cannabis exports, contributing 43% of all global production. It was reported by the International Narcotics Council Board that the United Kingdom produced a total of 329 tonnes of cannabis intended for medicinal or scientific purposes in 2021 alone.''

Just to add to the joke MP Victoria Atkins is married to the managing director of that company and is strongly against legalisation... For health and social reasons of course! She assures us all that it isn't a conflict of interest so no need to worry.

I've taken all sorts in my time and pretty much every time I've ended up in hospital, assaulted someone or just been an absolute nob. Not once have I gotten into an altercation or caused mischief while I was stoned. Its the version of me that is calmest. Legalise it or not, I will always smoke. I hope it happens, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
