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?

I'm pretty sure it's still illegal.
It's just unlikely you'll be prosecuted.
Don't come running to me if you are though :^P

I was going to make a post almost exactly like this today. I got another drugs talk in School. Basically Cannabis getting downgraded to a C Class Drug just means that for possession the maximum jail sentence is 2 years and not 5 and for dealing it's a max of 5 years not 10. That's in Scotland though. In England it isn't even illegal anymore.
Unfortunately even when it was a B Class drug the cop that gave us the talk today said that in many years as a police officer he never knew one person who went to jail for 5 years for possession of cannabis or even 2 years! Basically you're going to be treated exactly the same for the same offence up here in Scotland. If you want to smoke the hemp go to London:P

And if it's legalised the manufacturers will fill joints with all the chemical crap they put in cigarettes.
You'd get better filters, but still be worse off overall.

Many Thanks :)
Atleast if it's leagalised then there'll be controls on the quality of what you're getting and people will be able to work out acceptable limits...
Having said that, if I ever take it up, I'm going to grow it myself!
And I don't smoke, so I'll have to learn how to cook! :-)

I'd just like to point out on Borat's behalf that he does not endorse this activity, and that he regrets it all the time. And that drugs are bad, kids.
Yep.
Yep.
Why put 'probably going to try it though' and then put an unhappy smiley after it?
If you don't want to, don't do it - you do have a mind of your own don't ya?
Personally I enjoy the occasional smoke, although I didn't really want to say it as SR may look down on people justifying illegal activities.

Everyone I know does it or has tryed it. I haven't. Probably going to try it though......... :(
