what difference does it make tho bear if its legal or not?

its not like it being illegal has stopped people using cannabis. and its not like you can sit in a cafe and smoke it either because of the smoking ban

also if it was made legal then thats one more thing for the government to tax

Why exactly are you pissed off that it is illegal?
Is it because you are a stoner or because you actually have a medical condition which cannabis could provide pain relief for?

Maybe he just doesn't like being told what he can and can't do to his own body.

Surely legalisation would cut down on the amount of baseball wielding polish dealing bastards.....I've seen enough beatings on the street recently..cunts.

Maybe they pissed the dealers off. Not paying for drugs is bad.

all drugs should be legalised, it's a darwinian holocaust of the thick waiting to happen and I'm all for it.

Neither. Not everyone who happens to give a damn about these things is either a stoner or ill you know I don't smoke cigarettes either but I wouldn't try to tell you that you can't or support criminalising anyone who does.

Anyway, to answer your question, I suppose I want to see cannabis legalised because I see the law as unjust oppressive bullshit to be blunt about it. It criminalises millions of otherwise law abiding people, creates a huge black market, and puts huge profits in the hands of organised crime. It massively increases the harm that the substance itself causes (both to the user and society) and the whole thing comes from a desire to legislate private morality. It's also waste of all that tax money that I'm forced to pay every month.

Just wait, one day they'll want to ban something that you like, and they'll be nobody left to stick up for you.

"I don't smoke cigarettes, I just empty the tobacco out of them, mix it with manky hash (which I have no idea what it contains but heres a clue Evil Weeds - Cannabis Information - Red Eye Express - Making Soap Bar In Yorkshire), roll it up in green rizla thick enough to wipe your arse with and then smoke it without a filter, all the while desperately pretending I'm some kind of intellectual psychonaught living in haight-ashbury in the 60s in an attempt to block out the fact I actually spend all day playing xbox, eating haribo and wanking"
