Cannabis should be legalised everywhere

People will still drive as they have already shown. Most people are of their heads and continue to drive. Whether drugs or alcohol. I do not accept this. Often they go on to harder drugs. Then what. People need to keep up their habit so they will steal. Imagine them operating machinery what harm they can do. It is fine for medicine as it has proven to work but under doctors orders. Watch highway patrol and it shows people on drugs they have a hard time controlling the habit and spend most of their money on drugs or should I say the governments money.

I hope it will be legalised soon.My partner had cbd oil on a script.First lot was $350 the second lot $550.That is for 1 month.$350 is expensive but $550 is just criminal.My partner was pain free using it.Now he lives on morphine.They don’t work at all and spends most of his life in bed suffering with debilitating pain.

  I agree. For medical purposes I think it is coming but it is slow. I know it would have helped many members of my family suffered with pain and the morphine just makes them sleep.

Medicinal marijuana for sure, which is a different strain of plant. For the druggies.why do you think they call it dope?

I use CBD paste occasionally from europe, still that is very expensive for a 5 ML syringe, It certainly has its benefits in getting rid of head aches for me. Still it should be legalized to save forests, and all the other benefits it would have in the industrial world. Still as said it is just a war with Pharmaceutical companies, and oil companies and so forth. it should not be used as a Drug though.

Cannabis leads to all sorts of psychological problems. Proven fact.

  This is a question about Cannabis oil not the illegal smoking etc. Cannabis oil has not element of addictive product in it and is used just to help manage pain and chemo affects.

No, otherwise there would be further accidents on the roads. This should only be used as a medicine by doctors. We have seen people who use drugs and their behaviour becomes violent. I doubt they would be very productive at their jobs if their minds are impaired. We would have Zombies every. How unfortunate for people to be so dependent on cannabis.

  No, I don't think so. Then it will lead to harder drugs and drug driving.

I was a union rep for 25 years. The people who gave me the most difficulty were the weed smokers, drunks were easier but still caused trouble. Weed smokers often progressed to hard drugs. Addiction is a disease, it should not be a crime

Cannabis should only be legalised for medical use only, and only if nothing else will help the sick, or for end of life

I totally agree that cannabis should be legalised my wife has chronic Osteo & rheumatoid arthritis,local GP recommends cannabis oil for pain but the rigmarole that you got to go through for approval is unbelievable

It has man medical uses. Also we have an organised crime problem with gangs controlling pot sales, much like the rise of the mafia during alcohol prohibition, so it's better under legal control than under criminal control.

I agree it should only be legalised for medical reasons. It should also be lowered in price. I know a few people who really need it to live a normal life (me included) but there's no way I could afford the price asked.

I do not know as I have never had it but the smell of it when I pass someone who is smoking makes me feel quite ill. If it is for medical reasons then yes it should be legalised. Some say it leads people to take stronger drugs etc. However, seeing someone on Cannabis is like seeing someone drunk. They are not in full possession of themselves. So, for medical reasons I have no problem. Otherwise, I have to plead ignorance as I do not know enough about it. I guess if it was legalised and sold over the counter we would get some tax from it and some of the criminal activity would cease but they would just then go onto different drugs as it seems society cannot live without being off their heads these days.

Like it or not it is a very hard question. Yes, there are definitely benefits from a Medical angle but at the same time there are those who, quite legitimately, claim, that by eating or smoking it, it can lead to psychotic episodes. By all means let's use it Medically in a controlled, managed way. yes, when I was young I tried it but stopped for thopugh it gave me a lovely feeling I felt that I was not in control so I stopped. Each to her/his own. Maybe it should not be Illegal but personal use, limited to say, 3 plants without fear but if caught with more then it becomes a saleable item which would require a Licence.

It should be legalised as there are many health benefits.CBD oil has many benefits for adults and children.It should be on the pbs.

I think it should be legalised. The government could tax it and make heaps. Also,it removes people from interacting with criminals. Alcohol does way more damage than weed ever would..

Glad this has started to be legalised and used medicinally in some places. It definitely should be legalised worldwide. It does have medicinal properties and it helps so many people suffering with severe pain, seizures, mental health disorders and a lot more. I don't think it's big pharma that would take a huge hit as much as drug cartels. You could still tax it like alcohol and cigarettes which as you say kills more people than cannabis ever did or will.

Of course it should be decriminalised and legalised. This healing plant has been around longer than mankind. There's a reason we have an endocannabinoid system, this plant heals us.

Maybe we should legalise all drugs the government could the tax these as they do cigarettes and alcohol and people who use them could pay for their medical expenses as well as contribute to the economy instead of to drug lords and the like

Tobacco and Alcohol do more damage but collect a lot of taxes - at least you'll get the tax going to the govt. instead of drug dealers. It is a complicated issue and deserves more than just a simple yes or no.

Definitely for medicinal purposes. It can be used for recreational, provided the consumer is responsible for their use. No different from alcohol consumption. Use it responsibly.

Cannabis causes problems, it stays in your system for for a long time, 1 glass of alcohol breaks down quickly, if I sit beside you and have a drink it doesn't get into your body, cannabis smoke affects everyone near by including animals. We have friends who used to use years ago and it has affected parts of their brains. In NZ they test to see if you are drink driving but not to see if you are high on drugs

  for some, possibly most people, not so for everyone though, and that's the bug-bear. Governments are supposedly there to protect the weak and weak-minded, who are prone to make less than sensible decisions about practice that could have life-long consequences for them and others. Someone may smoke this ingredient recreationally for years and it will have negligible ill effect on them. Others, can take 1 joint and decide to go shoot up their family, or jump off a building - because they believe they can now fly. Just like how not every cigarette smoker gets lung cancer, or every drinker, cirrohis of the liver, but a great number of drinkers, smokers do become sick. Too, like alcohol, this substance alters perception of the imbiber, sometimes with tragic results. But it does seem to have great effect in treating intractable pain, and other debilitating conditions.

Better to make it harder to get. It leads to harder drug experimentation. Make the easier drugs harder to obtain. Too many of my friends kept going and are in jail or dead. Their lives were a mess before too
