As someone who has smoked heavily in the past I believe legalising for recreational purposes needs a highly monitored approach and should be for people 21years and over .
High THC contact cannabis (skunk ) does cause people to go through the motions and indeed suffer anxiety and depression .
The reason for this is that illegal growers in the UK have continued to grow strains with higher THC contents whilst weeding out (no pun intended) strains with higher CBD levels as that's not what punters want .CBD acts to negate the negative effects of cannabis such as anxiety and psychosis and produces the majority of medicinal effects .
However I believe the government will only provide licences to grow weed to big companies and it will be a pay to play basis once they figure out how to monetize it . With media outlets in this country being so powerful I feel it will take a brave politician or someone towards the end of their career to push through recreational use .
You can currently buy CBD oil n the Uk in Holland and Barrett but this will not get you stoned and people already vouch for the life-changing effects this has had on conditions .

For me, it should be both for medicinal purposes and for average Joe Public, BUT, like Amsterdam, have designated places for smoking it. Smoke it at home or these places, not just in the street. Just my opinion.

I think it's a slippery slope from there some idiots move onto stronger drugs and end up in a mess on whatever they can get their hands on. I wonder how many people started on cannabis ended up on spice and crack!
I think it's better to keep it illegal to stop it becoming mainstream and increasing the drug problems.
Just because alcohol is bad for you, it doesn't mean open the floodgates and allow other types of drugs and even more problems.

To be honest with you... going out drinking leads to things like cocaine, MDMA, Pills.
Sitting at home smoking a joint doesn't make people want to start injecting heroin ffs. This gateway drug malarkey is all bullshit.

Why? Do you also want to ban alcohol and tobacco then as they are both terrible for peoples health. Their are very good arguments to legalise such as the money made on tax and the fact that the law basically doesn't work anyway as its so easy to get cannabis in the UK. Personally I think the government has no right to be able to tell people what they can and can't put into their own bodies.

The government does have the right when it affects law abiding citizens, and to compare alcohol and tobacco to drugs, where people are robbed and assaulted to get money to fuel their habit is crazy. I have known many people over the years that smoked cannabis regulary , and if you could see the state of them today you most certainly would not advocate legalising another drug that can devastate lives, alcohol as an example.
