Should I be jailed for breaking the law?

yeah i was hoping to avoid reading the whole thread but ok..................

 

Just don't ask FRANK what ever you do. He talks a load of crap!

No you shouldn't, it should be made 100% legal. Cannabis is harmless and the only people you are harming are only getting harmed because cannabis is illegal. . . . !

I guess bringing on psychosis isn't harm then?

Show me one study that 100% confirms that there is a link between cannabis and psychosis in perfectly normal, healthy adults, with no mental health issues.

If we accept this as true, it still doesn't lead us to the conclusion that cannabis is better being illegal. It shows us that there needs to be a system in place to help people with psychosis.

 

The last study that got discussed on here was to show that there is a slight risk of pyschosis developing in the brains of teenagers who regularly smoke cannabis (if I remember it correctly), but all that tells us is that teenagers shouldn't regularly take the drug. Yet again we come back to criminality, because this trade in the hands of criminals doesn't care if their money is made from adults or 13 year old boys.

I suppose the problem is that people with underlying issues may not know about them until it's too late?Personally I'm not particularly bothered about what people do to themselves as long as they harm no one else..

It is harm. But there's no evidence showing that cannabis use brings on psychosis.

As a non user, what are the benefits of canabis, what does it do for you?

 

Numerous proven health benefits for one- which is why it has been legalised for medicainal use in some US states.

Ok I've read it.......

 

Schizophrenia, depression, possible relation to mental illness, paranoia, preferable to alcohol...hmmm!...I'm thinking I won't dabble myself unless someone cares to point out some positives of using it.

[Murphy Jnr]

oooh .... Health Benefits

[epiphany]

All the arguments you need for legalisation of ALL drugs from a stone cold pragmatist -

 

Why don't people understand the concept of "lesser of two evils"? Nobody is saying legalising drugs is not problematic, but it's LESS problematic than criminalising drugs. If anyone has a 3rd option then please enlighten us...
