That made me laugh... But I ain't really wanting to see that happen either

Very good article here on what legalisation/regulation could look like http://www.tdpf.org.uk/Transform_Aft...r_on_Drugs.pdf (takes a wee minute to load)

Actually if I smoked weed I'd be sacked... And there's no need to be such an asshole either.

Still a bloody funny post though...

Actually I did. Although you can't compare being prevented from lighting up in an enclosed public space to tobacco be declared an illegal drug punishable by a two year jail sentence (soon to be 5) for merely possessing it anywhere for any reason.

My opinion of the smoking ban was there should have been exemptions and that the anti-smoking stuff is starting to way to far, did you see this idea they had
recently? Permission to smoke? That'll be £10 - Times Online

When was the last time someone got two years for being found with a bit of hash? Actually you probably would get more of a fine for lighting up in a pub. The landlord certainly would.

Hey Stripey, No-one smokes Soapy anymore, gak-tastic, and it is possible to hold down a job, so none of those delightful all-dayers you mention, but I was wondering how you spent your time. To recap; its no-ones fucking business if someone wants to alter their brain chemistry, mildly in this case. 100 years of prohibition adds up to fuck all in the history of humanity, but some still think that their remit runs to the contents of an individuals consciousness. This is a disgusting concept born of authoritarianism.

That's pretty funny actually...as the people I know who are dying of cancer are the sort of people who would have never bothered their arses to getting round to applying for a smoking permit....what a pity!

Or he could smoke some grass in a pipe while on his break at work.

But surely it is the governments business when they're the ones shelling out on the NHS, social security and all other financial drains that make this country a palace in comparison to most of the world. I don't agree with the notion that it's a harmless substance of which the majority of people could sustain a respectable, productive existence whilst using; it is completely unfair to generalise the entire pot-smoking community on the basis of a few more intelligent, responsible stoners.

I am not interested in what you believe, believe in faries at the bottom of the garden for all I care, and if your concern is for government money misspent, fine, call for a complete alcohol ban. Ultimately an individuals brain/body chemistry is for them alone to control, and is not the jurisdiction of the state*. Lets debate the use of all drugs if you wish, but as this thread is exclusively about cannabis, and your statements are false, and based on falsehood, we can safely assume you have not researched the issue. Your beliefs should not and will not affect my freedoms.

10,000 years of Cannabis use, 100 years of prohibition, I know what the score is.
