Most cannabis smokers don't become drug addicts, just like most beer drinkers don't become alcoholics.
Cannabis induces a relaxing, pleasant feeling. Alcohol does too, but tends to more volatile. So even with non-alcoholics, intoxication can cause much more harm in disputes, violence and driving accidents. No comparison in societal harm.
The experience of Portugal, Canada and recent US states that have legalized cannabis is overwhelmingly positive.
Don't be afraid of recreational cannabis, though agree with ramr - ideally don't want the super strong stuff being choofed. Not necessary, and just like too much alcohol in one sitting, it doesn't make sense either.

I don't see the harm with the  "super strong stuff" , alot been made about it in the media which is mostly bs and at the end of the day, it's still only pot. Anyway none of that for us, just a nice bag of crispy sunleaves ☹️ . In the last two years it seems the  progress is pretty much backwards.

Oh,  the old "Gateway Drug" claim.  I haven't heard that in the last couple of decades. 

Yes. Because it was a couple of decades ago that they realized it was mothers' milk.

Take a guess what the panel had been smoking when they made this decision.

Don't need to. I have a 'fine life' without it. Those who feel they need it should get one.

Yes. They use the drug alcohol.

The police will keep those for themselves.

Suppose if recreational stuff is available it may REDUCE the amount of meth and other nasties.

I doubt he/she would, since 95% of the arguments of this type usually sound stupid when you actually have to say them out loud and then defend them logically.

I actually have more respect for this viewpoint when it's also applied to alcohol and even other mind-altering drugs like coffee.  I'd disagree with it, but at least it would be consistent.  Go Mormon or go home!

And hell, if you wanna go deeper and ban things that artificially jack around with your dopamine and/or serotonin, you could do a lot worse than banning sugar (in all its guises), social media, and TV.  Except for "medicinal purposes," of course.  Would love to see the doctor's note for that!

 

Just what Thai drivers need, Some legal killer weed to go along with the booze and Yaba slow their thought process they are far too educated and have such high driving ability at the moment .

I think because its  illegal is why cannabis was always pitched as a "gateway "drug. If you make it illegal it becomes attractive, and when you realise there are no reasons for it to be illegal, then you start to wonder if all the illegal substances are harmless. Atleast I did when I was younger. I still have trouble believing that in 2020 this natural plant, that does so many different good things for so many people is still outlawed and frowned upon.

So, can we assume that alcohol, that are much more dangerous, should be illegal in your opinion as well?

I really don't understand people wanting to take cannabis other sick people, that is my view and my opinion. 

In England we called people who took it for just getting high smack heads.

Well, I am from England ... and  heroin addicts are known as smack heads and there are names for people like yourself also.

No alcohol is use as a defense for the use of cannabis.

What in the world are you insinuating? Your reply just shows how little you know of this.

Are you saying that alcohol is not more dangerous?

In that case you should probably check the statistics of death from alcohol and compare that with the yearly number of death as a result of cannabis use.

[Kwasaki]

I'm surprised how many people here supporting the taking of a illegal drug other than being sick,  I guess they must be sick.

Illigal? Guessing you missed the whole point of this piece of news. They removed it from the narcotics list. That is a step in the direction to make it legal.

You do know that there are many countries that already legalized cannabis? Does that mean that you are same sick?

[alien365]

I'd like to see it fully legalised but I'd worry about the introduction of stoned drivers to the roads.

Not talking about people who can do without illegal drugs ... more about people who have opinions on things they know nothing about. I will politely just call you misinformed
