Of these a little over 99% agreed with the proposed change in the law.

They are right, but there should be a plan as how to use it effectively for those who are unfamiliar.

Why do you think marijuana use will increase? It's available for cheap everywhere already.

There is no evidence that legalization increase use

Weed the people the movie. Through the emotional stories of children fighting cancer, WEED THE PEOPLE educates mainstream audiences about medical cannabis as a human rights issue.

Awesome news, I just hope that they manage to roll this out without much mishap and chaos. 
What would the penalty be for importing CBD after the law is passed? 

[Proboscis]

Although my research on this subject is not exhaustive, I understand that the THC content of most medical marijuana (the part that makes people high) is rather low, too low to be of much fun, apparently.

I think that's not true.

CBD oil has low THC and is used for various reasons.

But THC itself has medical use so there is definitely medical cannabis with very high THC content.

 

I think for example chemotherapy patients use THC to work up an appetite for food.

Hopefully just a fine.

It makes no sense that CBD is illegal for anyone... Should be flowing freely all over the world.. tons of benefits. No high. No harmful side effects. 

The fact that it's illegal in most countries proves that governments around the world are corrupt and/or extremely incompetent.

I rather suspect that he was banged up for having a large amount of money (origins legality and providence  irrelevant) and failing to make suitable "investments" with various influential people.

Well there is a lot of stigma based around anything weed related, and that comes from all of the propaganda that was pushed by alcohol companies, but also way back in the 1920s when a man named Andrew Mellon (one of the richest men back then) basically used his wealth and power to demonise it, so that his paper company would triumph over the use of hemp. All of this has painted weed with a very negative brush, when in fact it's safer, more beneficial, and easier on society, than most recreational substances out there, including alcohol. 
Here is a link about Mr Mellon and his business ventures

I'm sure that the right influential person or corporation ( it boils down to the same thing) will be selected to grow, produce and supply the stuff. Government agencies uniformed and civilian will be tasked with regulating its use, and no doubt in time a variety of informal fiscal arrangements will emerge, to allow the enthusiastic amateur to partake...

[lvr181]

I can see it now..............

 

[wgdanson]

Just heard on BBC that medical cannabis is legal in UK from today. Only 5 patients are eligible.

Heard about that stuff. But governments shouldn't enforce laws based on stigma and propaganda. That makes them look incompetent and/or corrupt. 

I really don't get it who benefits from the war on drugs. 

It's not the people.

It's not the government.

The only one who benefits are the drug dealers. Why would governments enforce laws that only benefit mafia / criminals? 

 

Legalization on the other hand benefits everyone. People get better quality drugs. Government gets tax revenue. People can get help for their drug abuse problems without fear of being penalized. 

I could go on.

Not need to legalise it - just decriminalise it?

 

Anyhow medical marijuana, (as I understand it) has the principal psychoactive constituent - THC - removed or heavily reduced.

[Moon6966]

I believe it will be fully legal eventually 

It only matter of time 

Its new world today then 30 years ago 

Now its legal in Canada and USA 

Many years ago it would give Thailand bad name 

But now when its legal it different 

People are wiser and the truth is iut

And it will bring so much money to the country

THC is the active ingredient in some forms of medical marijuana. CBD in others.

They both have medical properties but only one gets you high.

It depends how deep you want to get into it.
For example, who do you think is helping to run and control the opium trade out Afghanistan right now, where 90% of the worlds heroin originates?
Why are drugs such as LSD, DMT and psilocybin based mushrooms highly illegal? Is it because they cause mass death and insanity? No of course not, governments do not want the masses and common person getting 'ideas above their stations' - they like effective workers who do not question orders or have notions of anything away from the agenda of society.

 

It comes down to money and control, power and financial benefit. It is completely obvious to anybody with half a brain that the war on drugs not only doesn't work, but it carries on anyway. Portugal though has decriminalised all recreational drugs, so that people selling them can be put away, but users are treated like people with a problem instead of criminals. This has seen a good impact in crime in general there, and the country hasn't gone drug crazy either. This won't happen in countries like the US, because there's no big bucks to be made. Make weed legal there means evil entities such as Monsanto can buy into the business and create yet another monopoly.

why?  for driving or riding to slow 

There is plenty of incidents where people crash and cause deaths whilst under the influence fella... 

 

Personally I don't touch any drugs at all and i don't condone it, but it seems that millions of people do think its a good idea so Im happy to concede I am in the minority, and therefore accept that sometime soon marijuana will be a legal, recreational and medical drug soon across the world.

Alcohol and cigarettes are legal
And cause so. Much deaths and sickness
And problems
Not a single person die from cannabis
Its also not addictive and used as medicine
It cure cancer and many other problems sicknesses
If it be legal
The government will benefit
On every way
Money health and less crime
