(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So everybody has been freaking out about weed be legalized and i think Arkansas was the most recent to legalize it... honestly i dont see the problem with it.. If anything weed should be legal and alcohol illegal but thats if one had to be illegal

Weed shouldn't be illegal in the 1st place. Its been used by ppl all around the world way before big brother banned it. It does NO harm to the body and actually have properties in it that are beneficial. Hemp oil is known to be a cure of cancer, but its illegal. Cigarettes are bad for health and can cause all kinds of health problems but its legal? Lol its all backwards

One of the biggest obstacles to marijuana legalization currently is the federal government. The DEA constantly overrides the states on this matter, even in cases where it's been put to use as medicine, and that's something of an odd problem. It strikes me that the effect of the War on Drugs has done great damage to looking at it as something that could be used medicinally (and it's obvious that it can) because of a fear that it would weaken the capability of drug enforcement to do their job in general.

Marijuana is scheduled at the same level as extremely potent narcotics such as heroin.

Its use is so steeped in our culture that despite its illegality people still use it for recreation and, as mentioned above, some states have okayed it for medicinal use for anti-nausea and pain relief. No doubt, without the schedule 1 setting, it would have long ago been better studied in labs for more medicinal uses.

The funniest stories I hear about marijuana are from crime labs. The lab in Phoenix, AZ at one point had bales of plant materials spilling out of the evidence room and into the hall (creating a fire hazard no doubt) because they had so much of it to process and couldn't get to it in time to reduce the amount coming in. In fact, the processing of the marijuana was an extremely low priority because scarier stuff was going on with other drugs at lower schedules.

If nothing else, let's argue for legalizing marijuana in AZ just to save the crime lab some hassle. (I know, I joke, but it seems like this era of prohibition should be over by now.)

In my opinion, the government has no right to legislate what you put into your body. Your body is your property, and according to John Locke we are entitled to Life, Liberty, and Property. Although most people are not willing to fight for their liberty.

I'm from Belgium, I go every week to the Netherlands for some weed because it is perfectly legal there. You can imagine that I'm not alone. Each year millions of tourists come to the Netherlands for weed or mushrooms. After many complaints, all shops at the border closed. the result is that all drugs are now being sold on the street. Drug dealers are bothering you and stand at every corner. And of course they also sell cocaine ecstasy ... what I'm saying is that if you can easily buy weed, hard drugs are behind the corner. I live in antwerp and we have 300,000 inhabitants, nevertheless we use more cocaine than New York City. And do not get me wrong, I want weed legalized everywhere. but they should really expose the circuit and legalize it. weed farmers are illigal. but in a shop it is legal? where do they get their weed? enough said

i used google translate

weed should be decriminalized not legalized,

and why the heck would you want alcohol to be illegal Fun wise Alcohol>weed

health wise weed>alcohol

Weed will never be legalized since federal law trumps state law see Group v. Good. California has medical cannabis but those types of laws ARE NOT recognised by the feds and DEA. Raids and arrests will still happen.

I'm glad its legal... makes it cheaper in uk slightly.. :L i smoke sometimes, not a "pothead" or junkie i just enjoy a J now and again, but i agree with someone others... Tax it, it'll give the government more money which is always good :L i'd be fine to pay tax for something like that

its not legal and this has no reflection on the cannabis prices in the UK. Silly boy

Its legal in some states in US?....
And it does slightly or atleast since it was legalized in some states, the US strains that are used/sent here price goes down as its not as hard to shift around and isn't as big risks growing with it across there then importing/exporting it to Uk is not as difficult.... so it does have a slight reflection...... also, i'm not a boy thank you very much
