I personally feel the problem is the way the proposer handled the debate. I can't be bothered to type it out but they both sound like their bickering, more than debating. Throwing statistics back and forth but not really showing a bigger picture for either side past the mainline sight of what they personally want. There were better ways for the proposer to validate further into his own points too. It's a shame as I'm for the change, but I feel like I always do in these types of situations, poorly represented as a person and community.

+CanniRap? Peter's claim that the (baring in mind, doesn't exist yet because it's illegal) "cannabis industry" is making up stuff about the health benefits can't make sense. It's scientists, who are making these claims, not a bunch of rich dudes. Our science is like waaaaay better than before and it's something that is being told globally.

+Alex Trainman The last thing you hear.

+Karen Put down the bong, then type.

Brah, I Caaaaaaaaaan't breeve!!!

Mainly grown I think about 80%

what are you secret intelligence, nice try copper lol

yer, do it!!

+stuart anderson He did do research, they both did. Did you not watch the entire debate?

+stuart anderson are you really saying that people cannot survive without cannabis? rubbish. In the modern world there is no _need_ for people to take cannabis, people take it because they _want_ to, and they want to because of self regard, nativity, recklessness, rebelliousness and social conformism. "to survive" please, give me a break.

I agree on your point on its availability illegally and nowadays you can order legal highs which have the same effect as illegal drugs, with no age verification.

I'm 21 and I can also testify that getting alcohol and cigarettes isn't impossible. Although personally I found it very easy, perhaps it was due to where I live...infact in the village next to my highschool there were 2 corner shops selling alcohol, as well as three pubs, and a bargain booze. There was also a large supermarket 10 mins walking distance. I certainly knew (and know still) a lot more places that sold alcohol and tobacco than I knew drug dealers selling weed. I didn't see alcohol as bad, my English teacher carried copies of 'Of Mice and Men' in empty wine cardboard boxes to the classroom. So in my teenage stupidity I got around the age laws easy enough like millions of others have, went to house parties and got drunk a few times...spewed up my stomach contents, said stupid things, did stupid things. So surely if weed was sold in shops coffee shops, corner shops etc. even with an age restriction. It would be easier for under-aged kids to get hold of it? Holland still has the problem of school children getting weed, whether they got someone to buy it for them, or they bought it themselves from an illegal street dealer. Just my experience :P

Fair point and you are correct, getting hold of anything isn't impossible, however if it were legal and regulated then it would be more difficult to get hold of it in my opinion, i assure you that the problems with children smoking weed in holland is nothing on the amount that do it in england in comparisson, wether buying it under age is doable or not the idea is to minimise the amount of children getting it, if it's the children people are worried about why not take all the money we put into arresting people and locking them up and instead put it into research so we can give kids the facts on narcotics rather than all the lying thats been going on and then let people make an informed decision for themselves or just make having a license to sell weed a very difficult thing to get and a very easy thing to lose so as to minimise people who abuse the system and sell to minors. thoughts?

I had a few drugs lessons in highschool :P We were taught the names, prison sentences, what class they were, all the known side effects. My teacher then said "If you do decide to take drugs, make sure you do it in a safe environment with people you trust." I asked "Isn't this hypocrisy?" and she then said "Victoria! Don't interrupt the lesson." Several of the students made an informed decision, and out of the many who took cannabis in particular, I still see two of them. One has depression and can't seem to get anything in his life right. The other had a breakdown at just aged 20 and is now on prescribed medicine from the NHs for depression and anxiety. I really would think it would be a bad idea to make a third drug legal. Even if it is strictly regulated, it ends up becoming embedded into the culture, subtly encouraging it, and then it can't be removed. Expecially at the exact time that the mental health side is still under question. One study says 'nay'...then another comes out that says 'yay'.

To be fair I used cannabis regularly in high school and I got As and A*s, so you can't just blame cannabis. My social group switched to cannabis from alcohol because weed was easier to get. Cannabis is already embedded in the culture today, and alcohol has a far worse effect. 8000 deaths from liver failure, 350 from pure alcohol poisoning, 50% of vandalism and antisocial behaviour, 20 Billion to NHS per year. The list goes on.

lol, depending on what camp site you're in it's actually quite civilised. Went last year and it was amazing
