should weed be illegal or legal? comment your views and reasoning for your opinion! my view - I think weed should be legal globally. it is far less harmful than alcohol. I believe that a big part of weed being illegal is that alcohol business has the monopoly on being the "party" drug and so feel threatened by weed so have invested in the demonising of weed. historically hemp was once required by law to be grown by everyone in the uk as it's fibrous property was great for making rope. i think people under the influence of weed are a lot nicer than drunks, do you ever see stoners brawling in the streets? with weed being illegal it forces the business into organised criminals that profit in the unregulated market. if it was legalised it can be taxed and regulated removing the income from organised crime organisations. advice given in strength like you know the % of alcohol in drinks. there are many papers suggesting medical benefits of weed, further research is hindered by the current illicit status of the drug. people can overdose on alcohol. requiring medical emergency services to intervene, pumping stomachs. it's a lot harder to get to a dangerous level of thc (the effective drug in weed). another thought on the matter I've had recently is do you respect the law of the land you are in even if you think it's wrong? so you perceive the law to be unjust. e. g. would you stop being gay in countries where being gay is illegal? so likewise, if you think weed should be legal would you stop doing it? I think you need a balance of things in life, too much of anything is bad. too much alcohol fucks you up, too much weed too regularly can fuck you up. but if people have an honest education on these matters they should be able to regulate themselves instead of trying to brainwash kids in school that drugs are gonna a fry your brain like an egg. people who do have trouble with any drug, alcohol, weed, heroin whatever should be able to access tax funded support
