Yes I've been banging on about it on here for a year now.
The day is coming soon,probably before the years end , when cannabis oil will be legalised for medicinal purposes in the UK...especially after William Haigs speech today.
We are way behind other countries on this...many are suffering unnecessarily.

If it helps medical conditions then great. But please don’t legalise cannabis for people to turn themselves into zombies 🧟â€â™‚ï¸

I had a nice chat to one of my friends that really enjoys a smoke, he would love it to be legalised. Well he did until I explained it would be taxed massively, controlled and all his dealers would be shut down very quickly.

Doubt they'll be doing that, that's probably why they haven't legalised the oil because of the "social" side of the drug or seriously thought about doing so until now after its been proven that it really does help people with illness/aliments etc.

Possibly a better quality product?

This seems to be the typical attitude of people that don't understand what they're talking about. Cannabis does not turn people into zombies anymore than alcohol does, and alcohol I assume you're perfectly fine with. It carries none of the health risks associated with alcohol. It doesn't make people want to beat the crap out of each other at 3am, and infact, (as has been shown, and if used in the correct way) have medicinal benefits.
I would take walking down a Wind St full of stoners over a Wind St full of drunks every single day of the week.
It would save the NHS millions, it would save the police millions and it would take it out of the hands of dealers who push harder, lethal drugs onto people.
The sooner it is legalised for medicinal and recreational use the better off this country will be.

It's not a safe substance though is it.
I used to smoke it 30 years ago but the stuff now has a much higher (!) level of THC.
I've seen friends destroy their lives by overusing.

It robs you of motivation and get up and go.
Lord Haig today...
"Lord Hague said the debate about Billy Caldwell was "one of those illuminating moments when a longstanding policy is revealed to be inappropriate, ineffective and utterly out of date". By returning the medicine to the Caldwell family, the Home Office had "implicitly conceded that the law has become indefensible", he said. Licensing cannabis for medical use would be a "step forward", he said, but the Conservatives should be as "bold" as Canada where state-regulated recreational consumption was being considered. Others have said he is danger of confusing two separate issues."

The oil should have been legalised years ago.
Only a halfwit could confuse medical cannabis with the street drug.
Mind you there's been one on this thread already...

This with bells on.
I say that as someone who has never and probably will never touch the stuff.

I don’t drink alcohol, but comparing it to alcohol is daft. The alcohol genie was been left out of the bottle a long time ago. That doesn’t mean the cannabis genie should be too.
Legalising cannabis will make it socially acceptable to many people and therefore result in more people taking the drug......resulting in more mental illness and many more extremely negative side effects.
My feelings are it should be legalised for medical purposes only,as they have successfully done in America,it is being distributed through dispensaries matching the right type of product with people's conditions.
Recreational use of the drug is a different debate that should be reviewed by the government later on.
Cannabis oil has been safely used by mankind for at least 6,000 years by most civilisations.
Here's a brief history on the medicine.

"I don’t drink alcohol, but comparing to alcohol is daft. "
How, exactly is it daft?
If legalised for recreational use it would largely be used in a very similar way to how alcohol is now, for people to unwind and relax. All the while being safe in the knowledge that what they're smoking/vaping/eating will have zero long term effects. With the added benefit of not having some scumbag trying to push harder stuff onto you.
There will always be people in the world who are predisposed to mental health issues, that is not an argument.
"resulting in more mental illness and many more extremely negative side effects." What extremely negative side effects exactly? In fact I think you'd find quite the opposite, a 19 year old who decides to go out and smoke a couple of joints over downing 10 pints, is going to have a lot less problems long term mentally, physically and socially.
Show me evidence of one death (worldwide) caused by cannabis. I'll wait.
People destroy their lives by overusing alcohol, how is that fine?
"It robs you of motivation and get up and go"
So does alcohol
That is a bit of a red herring, because many people have died as a result of the side effects of cannabis :- I.e the mental illness that can result such as learning memory problems , chronic coughing and frequent respiratory infections.
Just a quick look on the internet, shows a study carried out in 2012 stated that people who started smoking cannabis at a young age were more likely to attempt suicide.
And that’s without people who have died from accidents while stoned.

My mate works with mental health [well he did I haven;t seen him for a few yrs] and most of the patients he dealt with were mostly from drug and alcohol addictions, they start on Cannabis then move on to the harder versions like skunk etc because the Cannabis loses it effectiveness because they get used to it or whatever, lots if not all end up suffering from Schizophrenia not saying its all from drug use, possibly both drugs and alcohol although he did used to say it was mostly drug related, but I don't know 100%.

You're talking out of your ass, i'm sorry.
There are more ways of using cannabis than smoking it.
I'd like to see this study, but would also be interested to know how many people who started drinking at a young age were more likely to attempt suicide. I'm guessing its pretty high.
People die when drunk every single week. People die crossing the road every week. That is a very weak argument.

If it was legalised, access to those harder drugs wouldnt be as easy to obtain, no? It's like arguing with the Daily Mail comments section on here. I'm out.

I’ll give you one very quick example. I was on a very big construction site the other day. They drug & alcohol test on this particular site. Go out for a few pints on a Saturday night and you’ll pass the test on a Monday morning. Smoke cannabis on a Saturday night and you’d fail the test on a Monday morning.
The people I know who smoke cannabis have gone backwards in life. You definitely lose motivation. Medical use, no problem.

If you have children, would you be happy for them to regularly get stoned ?
