Should cannibis be considered legal.
 

As far back as the Egyptians in the Pharoah days or earlier they were all using this drug. Cannibis is classed as a Class C drug which is not considered high poriety compared to Heroin, Cocaine, P, etc. Why is cannibis still looked at in most countries as an illegal drug - Alcohol is far worse. I would rather be put in a room full of cannibis smokers than a room full of drunks - guess which room would have the fights. In the 1940's they use to have cannibis here in NZ as a medicine for Glacoma and Arthritis, my grandmother use to get a doctors perscription go down to the pharmist and get her monthly dose of cannibis for her arthritis. She would then go home and add it to her cooking. Every photo of my grandma the picture shows her with a smile a mile wide, i now know why. She was stoned! :rotfl:
African fishermen take cannibis for nightfishing it makes them see better in the dark:o ? Scientist have even discovered that cannibis reverses the effect of lung cancer for those that are tobbacco smokers. Infact tobbacco is far worse than cannibis health wise, yet thats legal.
Isn't amsterdam the capital of dopecity in the world? Whats the crime rate over there i bet its low. Alcohol in our country is the cause of alot of wasted lifes - car accidents while under the influence of alcohol, violent attacks on strangers because of drunkeness, broken relationships, dependency, it is by far worse than cannibis yet is legal here & in most parts of the world.:|\\

I realise this subject on drugs might be sensitive to some. no offense intended.

Studies range from claiming that cannabis is far, far worse than tobacco, to saying that it's harmless. So the jury is still out.

Cannabis' usefuleness in fighting glaucoma and other eye disease is currently being questionned, as well.

That's not a very strong argument :) Beside, you'd have to adjust the statistics to take into account the non-criminality of certain acts pertaining to drugs.

The consumption of cannabis can also cause all of these problems. And don't come out saying cannabis isn't addictive. It might not be as bad as coke or heroin, but it's addictive none the less.

:arrgh!:

"Cheech and Chong" use to love listening to there tapes, the one "Daves not home man" or "Jimmy" are a crack up. There movies were silly but good for a laugh. What happen to these guys you never here from them now.

Cannibis smokers "only" meaning they only smoke cannibis they don't mix there smoking with "other" drugs or alcohol, are not violent. Those that do can be. I bet the ones you know mix cannibis with other substances thats why they're violent.

Nope. Just pot. Well, with some tobacco, and I guess there might have been rolling paper or bong water involved.

It doesn't happen all the time, and usually not during the high. It's afterward that you have to be careful around some stoners. Especially long time users.

Don't mix it! Use it pure, and without any thinner! I must say I would be dissapointed when not becoming violent after having had a pound of Cannabis, or two! :arrgh!:

Cheech Marin played in From Dusk till Dawn and Nash Bridges, look him up at imdb.

Might as well legalise it so it can be regulated and taxed, since it is so prevalent anyway. When I was under 18 and at high school it was easier and cheaper to buy marijuana than alcohol.

I don't see why not; Just regulate and tax it like alcohol and tobbaco. If those are legal, I don't see why cannabis shouldn't be. Hard drugs like cocaine and heroin should stay illegal though.

Someone posted they have seen a violent Pot smoker. I haven't seen them. They all seem passed out and sleeping. Probably why i never bothered to try it.

-S

Some violent people smoke pot. That does not mean that pot is what makes them violent. You said it yourself, after they come down is when you have to be careful.

So one has to ask, does pot make them violent or would they be even more violent without it? Seems to me it's the latter.

The only danger of marijuana is...getting busted.

To outlaw a thing before it is truly understood is ignorance at it's best....When my wifes brother was in his final stages of cancer it was the only thing that would give him an apetite to eat then even liquid morphine did not help in the end....some poor people in the mines of Mexico or south America somewhere make so little money they buy a bag of coca leaves with the days wages so they can go back in the mines to work without eating then earn enough to buy another bag of leaves and food for there familes...chewing on coca leaves...and just last nite I watched the famers in Afghanastan crying while there fields of poppys were plowed under and they all were asked the question if next yr would they replant and ALL said they would...money to feed there familes.

Genesis
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Everything was made for us to use for our betterment...along with responsibility.
