"Cannabis"

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?

What happens if you are bringing a near fatally injured person to hospital who has been neglected by a busy 999 number?

No, because you haven't broken the law.

Speed limits can be exceeded by 10% of the stated total because of inconsistencies between speedometers on different makes of cars, same for speed cameras, most allow at least 10% before they are activated.

Now, if you hit 46 then yes you are an idiot because that is purposelly breaking the speed limit and no matter where you are going it is not that important.

That's okay, the more people who repeatedly slam Bell's wafer-thin arguments into the ground the better.

Ever downloaded any music, Bell? Or stolen a sweet in a sweet shop? Broken the speed limit?

By your logic, that makes you the waster.

I pray you one day get a crippling disease that is untreatable using conventional medicine. And I mean that more than you might think.

I already had, I think, I just didn't put an example.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

So every time I hit 41mph in a 40mph zone, that turns me into a waster? It's not the same thing, but you did ask someone to fault your logic. So I did.

Weed sucks. Beer is the way forward, or so it would seem......

ignore the first one

I find it intriguing that someone who can sit there and write six page
essays on the decisions of politicians, regarding the war in iraq,
can dismiss another controversial subject with such sweeping
generalisations, and closed-mindedness.
