Well funny enough i recently had a conversation with a friend about legalising marijuana in Britain. He is a regular smoker so his views did vary to mine.
In response to Archanna's blog, she was 'for' legalising it however in my opinion if it was to be legalised it should be in designated areas. I know this sounds strange but it's alm
ost how Amsterdam runs. Although my friend was also for the legalisation of cannabis as in his opinion it would stop the dealers and corner sales made nowadays. however will it make a difference to the importation of the drug? It may make it worse, the good point is it may be controlled but somehow i don't think this will happen successfully.

Red light districts? Hash cakes in the local cafe? I don't want where i live turning into a mini Amsterdam with prostitutes and all. When you give lee-way to one thing it opens boundaries for many others and then people don't know where to stop.
People who smoke cannabis would be for the idea as I've realised having discussions with regular smokers! Yet people who don't smoke may be totally against as they can see it causing problems. I think like alcoholics it can get out of hand like people who are buzzing and get carried away and don't know how to control it. More work for the police, more fights and a more drugged up society!
From what i know and have seen it is easy to call a dealer, pay him a tenner and pick up your draw. Job done for couple of hours enjoyment. Yet these quick sales are causing harm to people. I heard it's not as harmful as cigarettes in the short run, however in the long run you can suffer from memory loss and it isn't good for your health.
I found information on side effects from small ones to major ones as a result from an overdose.
Some that i know are:
* Memory loss
* Lung cancer
* Increase in apetite
* Vomiting
Also a friend took extreme measures for weight loss and actually lost up to 4 stones by smoking cannabis, yeh sure it sounds an easy way out but now she is addicted. People become reliant on it and can't go without a spliff a day. In my opinion a worse habit than fags to break.
Cannabis is glamourised in music by artists, clothing and jewellery have the ganga leaf symbol so it is now a fashion statement.
