Yes england would follow suit, interesting thing about international drug laws is when they introduced them they hid them in in the same treaty which says if you get attacked everyone else will help out -the reason that no one is willing or able to set their own drug laws for their nation is that if they did and then got attacked no one would have to help them - hence why they are only 'decriminalized' in holland, it is still illigal and it's still highly illigal to be involved in any form of transport to keep to the terms of he contract.

If the USA which has been the ones pushing prohibition so hard all these years was to change it's tune then weed would be legal all over europe wihin a few years. Hopefully the same will happen if america collapses and stops being a world power.

I firmly believe that prohibition is pushing up the crime rate. causing a large section of the population to become disenfranchised with the state and to hate the police - if people were free to toke an awful lot of the problems in the world would ease very quickly, and that's before you get into the economic effects of both legal cannabis and legal hemp!

No one even knows why it's banned anymore, everyone knows that stoners aren't violent or dangerous and infact are often very productive, useful members of society - the only reason for not smoking it they could give us at school was 'you'll get in trouble with the law and not be able to get the job you want' hehe that same day we studied the quote "it is the duty of a moral man to disobey an immoral law" -think they were trying to tell us something?

oh and i DID get the job i want thanks

Well I watched a programme last night on this and it makes SO much sense to legalize it.

You can put age restrictions on it like cigarettes as tests have shown that if you smoke it either pre teen or just going into your teens then it has serious effects on learning. Start smoking it towards the end of your teens then no (or little) effect.

Experiment

Also if they start selling it in controlled conditions then you can make sure the anti psychosis part of the plant is not "grown out" so that the amount of thc is increased to make the effect stronger. If this is done then you won't get all of these psychological problems for long term smokers.

The only bad point that will be left is the addictiveness.

Just makes so much sense to me to legalize it and control the problems it currently causes.

EDIT to add that I didn't even go into the financial benefits it would bring to each countries economies

is there any proof marijuana is addictive,, in fact i believe the opposite is true

and no one has ever died freom marijuana either

do you have proof of the above quoted statement

and not gov't propoganada lies of that

ok ok did my own search,,,some say yes because it has released small amounts of dopamine in rats

but i think as is said in some links it is more of a habitual habit,,,more than say, opiate addiction

sources
addiction-dirkh.blogspot.com...
www.drugsense.org...


and yes,,,if it's addictive,,that seems damning right

but alcohol and cigarettes are legal,,,and you can even die from alcohol withdraw,,,not marijuana

it seems there's not a single agreed upon defintion of addictive now
an


also from this link
www.drugtext.org...

marijuana myths

all below statements are FALSE,,see link for why

1. Marijuana causes brain damage


2. Marijuana damages the reproductive system


3. Marijuana is a "gateway" drug-it leads to hard drugs


4. Marijuana suppresses the immune system

There's a pretty public issue that should push this to the front of most mainstream outlets...

sports.yahoo.com...
"Pot charge possible after Phelps’ pipe photo"
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)—Olympic superstar Michael Phelps could face criminal charges as part of the fallout from a photo that surfaced showing the swimmer smoking from a marijuana pipe at a University of South Carolina house party.

A spokesman for Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, who is known for his tough stance on drugs, said Tuesday the department was investigating.

...Not to mention obama's own brother-in-law recently getting arrested for possession.

I just wish more people would recognize the ramifications of this stuff in relation to obama's "change"...
I've never used "ramifications" before.
