It’s already a pretty mature market in many places. By the time we legalise it here, we’ll be competing against established global brands with the economies of scale on their side. Much of the profit will end up going overseas.
We can just add it to the list of lost opportunities of the past 2 decades.
It’s a no-brainer.
There are risks of some mental issues with chronic consumption, but compared to the risks of other legal drugs, they’re pretty small, and the benefits in terms of income, removing crime, etc, they’re dwarfed.
There’s already a plethora of CBD flower shops operating here.
Legalising recreational cannabis is a pragmatic solution to raising tax revenue without raising income tax on working people, and creates a new industry that will grow the economy. Along with numerous other benefits that will greatly outweigh the health risks and other minor downsides. Not to mention it is basically defacto legal due to lack of police enforcement, I regularly smell someone smoking a joint in and around my local town centre and high street. So naturally Labour will continue to ignore it as an option because “the smell ruins people’s lives”.
Increase tourism. Increase jobs available. Increase police availability. Redirect (limited) police resources to more pressing matters. Tax the hell out of it. Take it out of the hands of dealers selling it. Cut off people being trafficked in for illegal grow operations. Enforce a strict age limit policy. Enforce potency regulation, as it can be “too strong” currently, similar to prohibition in the US. Increase education surrounding it. Have coffeeshops aid the dying high street.
The people are going to do it anyway, so it’s either the current situation, or the above.
At university, a huge grow operation around the corner from my student house got taken down, but you could still have other dealers deliver faster than an ambulance or takeaway would arrive.
At 17, it was easier to get cannabis than rolling papers.
The war on drugs has failed.
Money sitting on the table. Were already the largest medical supplier in the world or something like that.
Now, if only there was a way to fill this blackhole the government keep talking about…
If it’s legalised would that mean they can make it not smell like cat piss?
They can but the legislation should favour smaller businesses for growing, selling, cafes etc. We don’t want or need more faceless massive equity vampire firms sucking money out.
Keep it small businesses, who will spend profits and not send it overseas to shareholders.
This is such a no brainer vote winner for parties in the next general election. Way past time to legalise and regulate. Taking the business from the criminal gangs and their associated links to harder drugs, less safe product and exploitation of workers (people trafficking etc)
All the experimentation has been done by more progressive countries so there are many working models to draw from, their science is sound, the world hasn’t caved in, they’re bringing in huge profit which can be used in so many ways. Some of that profit can fund more mental health facilities, and mop up any potential increase in cases due to cannabis, but my personal view is that mental health is such a multi faceted issue, that to blame any increase purely on cannabis use is misguided.
Less strain on police, NHS, can be used medicinally for a multitude of issues and benefit the country recreationally too.
The fact that we’re on Daily Mail island and people aren’t really told about these benefits in a clear way, they’ll barely get mentioned on a news debate show before being shouted down by some uneducated biased cretin who hasn’t looked at the facts, running on ancient programming.
We’re already selling it medicinally to other countries, which is such a ridiculous contradiction.
I like to smoke weed now and then just as much as the next guy but I do worry about how it would impact society here. We have a culture of binging on things that are bad for us. The loss in productivity, additional demands on the NHS and psychological damage will need to be carefully understood.
I’m starting to think dr dre and a lot of rappers of that era were simply propaganda props to promote weed, violence and shiny objects
We need to boost our economy. Our high streets are in poor condition; instead of cheap takeaways and vape shops (which are probably funded by cannabis), how about we legalize it the same way they have in America? Tax it, and that will hopefully boost the economy. Lots of people smoke it regardless, so this will save the police the costs associated with stopping illegal cannabis production in this country and also prevent illegal trafficking of the drugs into this country from places like Thailand and America.
It’s faintly nuts that I’m spending £325 for 50g a month on totally legal medical cannabis while a neighbour’s son just got a caution for a gram. The postman even delivers mine.
It’d be a smaller sector than cannabis but I’d really like to see legalisation of mushrooms getting some traction.
Even if it’s just something like the Netherlands truffle model, psilocybin is a fantastic compound with very few downsides
He’s always looking out for the welfare and needs of the British people. He should be knighted for giving us unlimited supply of spliffs. This is what Britain needs right now to counterbalance the effects of eroding services and tax increases. Nice Snoop.
I think it will be a very long time until we legalise weed , labour , reform and tories wouldn’t do it and the other party’s won’t win elections anyway
