Well, the drug is being (or has been) downgraded to class C. What does this mean? The government are keen to point out that it is still illegal, that those in possession will still be arrested.
On the news tonight, they used the phrase "Cannabis, a drug tens of thousands of people choose to smoke each week". I think they are seriously underestimating how widespread its use is. I wager everyone on here knows somebody who smokes it, I certainly do. Could decriminalizing the drug work in this country? There are huge benefits for the government in the way that it would free up a lot of police time, which could be used for catching those dealing/possessing harder drugs.
Is there any point whatsoever in downgrading the drug as they have done?
Do you have any views on the drug, or the questions I have asked above?

He is breaking the law at 41MPH, it's just that the Police allow you 10% for speedometer error. But, 41MPH in a 40MPH zone is breaking the law.

Having said that, although both are illeagal, I'd only call the stealing wrong...
If you know what I mean...
The law's good, but it's not perfect JUST yet. ;-)

No-one who has said they use cannabis in this thread has said it's okay - we all acknowledge that it's illegal. I. myself, have stated I smoke it for pain relief, but I have never said "So that makes it okay". In English_Bloke's thread titled "Police" I said:-

Okay then, same sentence with words changed;
"I'm ill so I'll take this illegal drug. It's okay because otherwise I would be ill"
You also miss the other starkly obvious similarity.
Both are illegal no matter the reason.

"Informed" is the word you are looking for. It's a fact that at 41 MPH in a 40MPH zone Snuggly, if stopped, would not be breaking the law unless he exceeded 44MPH.

"Informed" is the word you are looking for. It's a fact that at 41 MPH in a 40MPH zone Snuggly, if stopped, would not be breaking the law unless he exceeded 44MPH.
