"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?

Yep, but only because they stopped doing Ridges.

Fair dinkum

I trust they are the sour cream and onion variety.

I am currently crispless. Although a butty could be on the cards.

Don't worry, I don't consider you to be "bad" people by any stretch of the imagination, I just loathe cannabis.

... and now I've killed the thread: damn.

Ok fair enough, but I hope you are not tarring all of us with the same brush here. Whatever reasons you have for losing respect for us, I hope they are not based on assumptions that we are in any way bad people.

Well, apart from Timmargh, he's a shady character :D

No, it is for personal reasons.

Is it because it is illegal?

I thought you might (lost some respect) - I was gonna question you about your feeling before and after this topic arose.

I do disagree with people giving Locky tips on what to do, though.
