chem1st Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Cannabis is illegal, fireworks are legal. But this doesn't make any sense. People tie fireworks to animals and kill them, animals quite happily eat your cannabis and you sometimes feel like you wish to kill them. People blow up phoneboxes with fireworks, while people use phoneboxes properly to order cannabis. People post fireworks through letterboxes and damage people's property, some people have been killed. If people posted cannabis through letterboxes, there would be some very happy people on the other end of the letterbox. Why are explosives legal and a mere plant illegal? Should we ban fireworks and legalise weed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 People commit crimes with knives, motor vehicles, petrol, chain saws, bolt croppers, plastic bags, nylon stockings and toy guns. Banning something because it can be used in a crime is the reaction of a child (and a particularly stupid one at that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Should we legalise chemical weapons and guns then? Guns were only recently criminalised, and it actually increased the level of gun crime in the country. There is no legitimate use for chemical weapons though, unlike fireworks, guns, knives, vehicles, nylon stockings or cannabis, so no, chemical weapons should remain illegal.

Chris_Sleeps Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 There is no legitimate use for chemical weapons though, unlike fireworks I don't think there is any legitimate use for fireworks. "They look pretty". Well look at a photo of one then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I agree that "private" fireworks should be banned. Go to a proper display, then you can actually see them when they go off and you don't terrify animals/kids and annoy the living pee out of your neighbours!

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The poll is unreasonable. There is no option to ban weed and legalise explosives. I can't 'make' weed. I'm not interested in smoking the stuff (it makes me puke.) I can make fireworks I can also make some spectacular explosives. Where's my option?

Would you like to tell me which law proscribes the use of teargas, mace or pepper spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey104 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Would you like to tell me which law proscribes the use of teargas, mace or pepper spray? In many countries, including Germany pepper spray is sold openly and legally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
