"The Home Secretary Is A KNOB!" Shaun Ryder and Tomi Lahren Debate Cannabis Laws

In an unlikely crossover, Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder and Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren join Piers Morgan Uncensored to debate whether cannabis should be re-classified as a class A drug or if we should go to the other extreme and legalise it in the UK.
Shaun starts off the interview by branding Home Secretary Suella Braverman who made the suggestion the drug should be reclassified "a knob". He then reflects on his own experience of smoking the drug to claim it isn't addictive or have any long-term effects. However Tomi defends not legalising cannabis as there are different risks other than direct death or overdosing, such as it being a 'gateway' drug.

[@MaXwellFalstein]

@@Peter-dr9ch pharmaceutical drugs are becoming a problem in the UK. Every condition is becoming an excuse for selling vast amounts of pain medication. The availability of alcohol and tobacco blurs the lines as to the magnitude of them being the most prolific gateway drugs. Societal approval could be the largest gateway drug leading to addictions to any form of consumption.

What annoys me is the uk is one of the biggest exporters of cannabis. We have multiple farms and one of the biggest government run cannabis farms in the world that sells to abroad yet they say it’s harmful and made it illegal over here🤷‍♂️

[@MaXwellFalstein]

The UK is not one of the largest cannabis exporters. The UK is/was (as of 2018) the largest CBD or THC exporter. Most cannabis-derived products cannot be classed as cannabis. The UK Government does not own or run cannabis farms; it permitted a few cannabis farms to be erected in the UK for CBD, THC and other derived products. Some of these products are licensed for lawful medicinal sale in the UK. The UK Government's view will be slightly different to the scientific reports generated by experts and testing various consumptions of cannabis and derived products. UKHSA would state the scientific aspects. UKHSA may be asked to consult on the societal effects. UK Government would produce a report on the societal effects and make a judgement resulting in a policy to be tabled in the House of Commons.

It’s a gateway/door…..to the refrigerator! But that’s it for your typical pot smokers! Many of my friends & I have smoked since the 70’s. I’ve had a medical marijuana card for years, & now it’s legal to smoke in many US states, including mine! My friends who smoke & I have all been respectable, responsible & productive adults for over 40 years. As far as I know, we all follow a few basic rules regarding smoking: 1) Only smoke at home or in a friend’s home, 2) don’t drive or operate dangerous machinery unless you’re sure you’re not impaired, 3) NEVER smoke around children or young teens (under 18), & 4) don’t smoke if you have any responsibilities to fulfill before you’re no longer high cuz it’s probably not going to get done. Same basic rules you should follow when drinking alcohol. Don’t stumble over the stigma of the word “pot.” And STOP thinking the dazed & confused perpetually stoned guy in the movies is your typical pot smoker. He’s not. He’s the poster boy for what NOT to do when you’re high. For every waster forever stoner, there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of people YOU KNOW or see frequently whom you’ll never know smoke because they’re normal, responsible adults.

I am now 73, a smoked cannabis for many years. Problem for me was that I never got anything done. It made me lazy. I don't think cannabis is addictive, not in my case anyway, I could be wrong. Should it be legalised, why not. I mean alcohol, is also a drug and addictive. Alcohol abuse has ruined many lives, and has also killed people. People can become antisocial when drunk, even violent. With cannabis, I have never heard of anyone becoming antisocial or violent when using it. In fact, I think the opposite is true. I used cannabis when I was stressed, and yes, it helped. It's a sad fact that we now live in a very stressful time, more so than ever before. It is also a sad fact that there are people who feel the need for some sort of stimulant to enjoy life or to simply relax.

Yet another prime example of how useless and out of touch this gov is. In not publicly recognising the vast medicinal properties and revenue generation potential of cannabinoids, along with the many safe methods of use now available, is simply another step towards authoritarian control.

Moving from recreational Cannabis use in my early 20’s, I started light use as it was helping with depression, and pain management for a bad back.

Not for nothing piers , you're an Ahole British rule soldier ! People have had bad fatal reactions to weed mixed and not mixed with other things ! People can and do have hallucinations with strong chronic version s of weed and go crazy commiting crimes and yes Overdosing and in rare cases fatal reactions and heart attacks

Makes me laugh when people say it's a gateway drug ffs 🤣🤣🤣 people that say that have clearly never smoked it before or they are far too brainwashed by the media 🙈

Justifying her silly opinion by saying "we have a big problem with it being laced". How many legal dispensaries have had their product laced with fentanyl? Most people don't start with a needle in their arm...or a joint...they start with ALCOHOL.

Ive neen plaqued with my house filling with a really strong cannabis stench for 18 months i have now cleared the problem. Its ok im not against cannabis, i just think there should be rules as to where you can smoke it and wether it affects say a neighbour such as myself.

Give yourselves the best fighting chance in this life and live a healthy life. Weed should be a class A. Destroys mental health.

[@elizas3249]

'laced with fentanyl'? Tomi... where are you buying your weed?
