Cannabis Could Be Legal In UK Within 10 Years

MPs from the three main political parties have said they believe cannabis will be legalisedin the UK within the next five to ten years.

Labour's Dave Lammy, Conservative Jonathan Djanogly and Sir Norman Lamb from the Liberal Democrats visited a cannabis factory in Canada for a BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat documentary, where they said gave their opinions on the drug.

As it stands, cannabis is illegal in the UK, but it remains the country's most popular drug, with 30 percent of adults saying they have tried the drug at least once, according to recent figures.
Documentary makers from Legalising Weed - Canada's Storyflew the MPs over to Canada where cannabis is legal for recreational use.

During the trip Lammy said his opinion has shifted 'significantly' and that he now backs legalisation.

Dunno wot these dudes are smokin

Oh great legal junkies

So how many millions have been wasted on policing it in the past.... and on all the research that supposedly suggested that smoking the stuff long-term could cause paranoid whatever it's called.... not to mention leading on to 'harder' drugs ?

AND...since when did smoking ANYTHING not do you harm, anyway ?

Added to that, the stuff stinks ... as often do the gormless-looking people who use it.

Dble post.

my last address was a penthouse apartment in a purpose built block of flats. i got the benefit of choking smoke from several other tenants smoking this junk and it found its way up into the loft above my flat--and in through the ventilation system. complaints to the management were ignored.
i think drug related crime would almost disappear if addicts could register with a GP and get free supplies for their own use.

So when you say "benefit" do you mean all that choking exposure at least gave you a nice buzz?

i dont mind a faint smell of cannabis but this was beyond ridiculous.

i couldnt care less if people want to smoke--pot or plain tobacco---but not when it fouls the air i have to breathe.
most people i see using it--openly--are either gangs of teenagers or worn out low life pre-corpses waiting for their turn to burn.

Yeah... let's all head for the lowest common denominator in the human condition ....STONED .

.

Same as the legal druggies who smoke and drink in the UK
I am in Canada at the moment, I visited the world's biggest legal cannabis grow last week,massive place,employing 1300 staff currently,it's expanding,legal marijuana has brought massive benefits to that town.

Britain,where cannabis is illegal is the world's largest exporter of legal marijuana,figure that one out

So people who smoke cannabis don't drink.... or smoke cigs ?

You got any actual figures to back up your statements ?

Biggest so called gateway drug most kids encounter are alcohol or tobacco through their parents,the gateway through cannabis is a convenient scapegoat myth.

my 2nd wife died from alcohol abuse. multiple organ failure. she weighed 5 stone when she died. age 58--but she looked like a little old lady. we were together for 24 years.

Is this a reverse aging app you got hold of ?

The reason the figuers went up was because of the very strong indoor skunk which was a result of it being easier to grow at home rather than import I watched the effect in the 80,s when it was largly skunk or soap from a cement mixer in Holland

Former health minister took cannabis oil for BBC documentary

“It just demonstrates to me how ludicrous it is that we continue to criminalise people who use cannabis with all the disastrous consequences of prohibition, like extreme violence that goes with it always in the poorest communities, the billions of pounds going to organised crime on a plate and the criminalisation of young people. I wanted to demonstrate the approach we have at the moment is ludicrous and there is a much better evidence-based approach.”
