After a petition has got over 200,000 signatures, MPs are now going to debate whether to legalise cannabis.
I have never smoked weed. I have no interest in doing so in the future either. However that does not mean I judge those who do, in fact I strongly disagree with its current status as a class B drug and think it should be legalised for the following reasons:
- It is less harmful than smoking and alcohol so if they're legal, why can't this be legal?
- The government could make money from taxing it
- Stores that sell it would make a lot of profit because it would sell like hotcakes, especially to persons aged 18-25
- The police can stop wasting their bloody time hunting people who possess or grow it and focus on serious offences like putting away paedophiles, rapists, home invaders etc
Of course, its incredibly unlikely it will be legalised with the fairly right wing Conservative government in charge. I will eat my shoe if it gets legalised here in the UK!
What are your thoughts on the legalisation of cannabis? Have/do you smoke cannabis? (Don't be shy, you're not going to be arrested!)
