The Truth

Hearing about the Lib dems more lenient approach to Cannabis, do you want to see this drugs avaliable in a legal way?
My opinion on it is Cannabis can be a very harmful drug if it's used in the wrong way and with current laws it seems the common way for most people to use the drug is to stay indoors away from everyone whilst getting high, this is where it gets dangerous just like drink. When any drug pulls you away from society, thats when it becomes harmful.
If we did legalise Cannabis we would be opening up a social centre for alot of like-minded people stuck on their own thanks to the restictions on their enjoyments which realistically is no more dangerous than Alcohol. Legalisation would prevent alot of isolation, depression and criminal records for non-crimals. It would give the typical cliched stoner a reason to go out and look smart, a reason to get a job, a reason to smoke the stuff.
The stories of teenagers running riot at home on the stuff would all be related to being in the wrong place with the wrong stuff. Cannabis needs to be shared for it to be safe, it's a social drug if kept social. I personally think it's time to test it out and see what effect it'll have on society. In Amsterdam it seems very well controlled. Much better atmosphere in the cafes than in the bars. I myself stopped smoking the stuff a few years back now because I can't risk getting caught with the stuff but if it became legal i'd be very excited by the prospects of a community of chilled out people coming together without needing to guzzel 9 pints to boost ones confidence.
