This is what’s going to happen if other countries continue to legalise while we stubbornly refuse to even have a conversation about it. Exactly the same a prohibition in the US didn’t work and people just brought in booze from abroad. It’s time to embrace the market and the financial boost it could bring us or this will just carry on.

Now no one will be able to get stoned!
It makes no difference to the end user at all, such a waste of resources,

I’m not sure why Starmer is so pro-war on drugs. You’d have thought a lawyer would know its achieved fuck all.

Know why the drugs are winning the war? Because we’re too busy going after the devil’s lettuce instead of the devil himself.

Can we just legalise already?
– safer products for consumers
– reduces pressure on prison system
– taxes
– harder for kids to get their hands on it
– UK is already one of the biggest producers (medicinally)

It should just be made legal, the money from sales can be pumped into the NHS.

It’s pretty crazy how many Americans are being arrested for trying to smuggle in weed.Â

Time we wised up and just legalised it. I see nothing wrong with people enjoying cannabis in their own home. Or growing their own for personal use, for that matter.

Meanwhile private clinics are growing upto 9 tons of cannabis and making people who need the treatment broke selling. Backwards Britain..

Seems there is quite a demand for this product. Maybe legalise it, farm it here and tax it?

Thank you valiant airport staff making sure as few people as possible are relaxed, sleep well, enjoy music and food and other fun things, and/or have chronic pain relieved.

Youd be surprised at how easy it is to send drugs through the post. Weed a bit harder but not impossible.

15 tonnes in a year? I bet Royal Mail is transporting more than that at this very second.

We should just legalise and tax it. It’ll hurt the drug market and then we can use the money the country gains to fill the black hole partially caused by Labour with immediately bending over for the unions.

Just legalise it, prohibit the sale apart from in dispenseries, set a thc strength limit of 15% – 20% max and watch the money and drug related crime go down.

So has the amount of cannabis being taken through airports tripled, or are they getting better at finding it?

While MPs keep making enough £ from GW Pharma bungs, this isn’t going to change.

If I bring a couple of tims of gummies into Heathrow and get caught, would it just get confiscated and I’d get a slap on the wrist, or would I be in serious trouble?
Border Force at Heathrow will be on strike the day I arrive.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with a private clinic to see if I’m eligible to access medical weed legally. If you’re a normal and healthy person both physically and mentally then what’s left for you is the black market. Sad.

LEGALISE! stop wasting police time with this shit.

Imagine the actual good that could have been done with the money spent on this pantomime.

I don’t particuarly like cannabis, I don’t see the appeal, the culture surrounding it I don’t understand and I dislike the notion there’s no health risks both mental and physical in it’s use.
But I also see no reason why it shouldn’t be made entirely legal for recreational use. It’s hardly heroin is it? If someone decides they want to smoke it, they’re of an age where risks are lessened (particuarly when it comes to mental health issues it can bring on in younger adults), then they should be allowed to; It’s their body and placing restrictions on this kind of thing is frankly ridiculous and makes me want to overuse the phrase “nanny state”.
We already have a perfect model we could use as well, Canadas; Where the government controls distribution so not only can the product be regulated and made as safe as possible, but also it’s a direct income source.

Oi! Border force! Stop looking for or reporting weed, dullards. You’re wasting resources on it, which could be exclusively used to find stuff that’ll kill folks quickly and cost them their house before they die, you mugs! Pack it in!
