Cannabis is a naturally grown weed and is cut with virtually nothing so there is absolutely no reason at all for government to still have it illegal. A few mates and I were having this debate as well during one of our smoking sessions, I guess that wouldn't make it a debate seeing we're all swinging for the same side but we did come up with a few rules if it was to be made legal;

Up to six plants per half annum for personal use/selling.
No smoking in public.
A set limit as to what constitutes illegal dealership.
18+
General safety ie; no operating heavy machinery blah blah blah.
Not only will Cannabis be made legal but any other product derived from THC is also made legal ie Budder, Hash etc

I could cope with that I reckon. Even though I don't see why weed is still illegal and think that the laws are totally archaic I understand that it wouldn't be a good thing if it was open for wide use so I don't think we should have shops, bars, machines that sell it, if ya want it grow it yaself.

The people that do it as well are being targeted, wrongly, by the police (growers/dealers more so than users) all for making a bit off extra cash, and I really mean 'bit,' and are being brought to court like hard criminals? Fuckers. I remember seeing something like 'If you purchase cannabis you're funding terrorism' and that sent my blood boiling, now, there's certain people I wouldn't even consider buying my gear off but buying a couple of grams to help him send his kids off to good schools? Yes, of course. But most of the money went to growing the plants anyways so it's not as if he made a massive return on it anyways.

So yeah, I'm all for legalizing it and I would if I were in charge but maybe I'm too biased to make any argument? Ah well... there's my view.
