In the past I’ve taken a lot of different drugs and had some of the best times of my life while using them. By far the one that has got me in the worst states and made me wish I hadn’t taken it was alcohol and the best times and experience I’ve had was using cannabis. Now I enjoy a small malt whisky but never get drunk and I use CBD oil which since being diagnosed with Clinically Isolated Syndrome helps me with the pain and dealing with things mentally.

CBD is a genuine miracle for a huge range of health & emotional issues. Or just to elevate the spirit.
Regular use will also help to restore the function of a damaged immune system.

Although CBD is now being recognised and accepted by almost everyone, imagine how much further along the line we could have been if they had not criminalised it for all these many years. So much avoidable suffering.
 
Well I do agree with legalisation but I don’t agree that cannabis is harmless as some make out. I have been a extensive recreational user of all sorts in the past and I managed to survive okay. I have quite a few friends and acquaintances though who suffer with mental health problems in later years and/or depression. No I can prove it’s from extensive cannabis use but that’s my view

CBD has certainly transformed my life but there are a lot of snake oil salesmen out there. I have tried a lot of products and company’s. I have found by far the best for me is a 5%full spectrum vape oil from a company called Cannadonia. They do a lot of other products and are a small company dedicated to quality not profits. I have no connection to this company but would highly recommend them for advise or products.

That is due to the high THC content in street cannabis. If it were to be legalised you could chose a plant with a lower thc and higher cbd content which would prevent people having bad reactions to the plant. Getting advise and nowing the strengths would let you choose the right buds to suit your needs.

Nabism, legislation has been tried worldwide for a hundred years, and all it has done is to create mystery for millions and extremely wealthy drug dealers and barons. I think it’s time for a different approach. But fair play to you for giving your opinion,and my respect to you for doing so.

If you can get a supply of Full Spectrum THC oil I would recommend that you try it.
It will give you the uplift and high, but, hey that is a GOOD thing.
I'm not sure of availability in the UK or it's availability under the NHS.
Perhaps if you tried a regime where you used CBD for daytime use, where you might be most active, with Sativex or THC Oil for evenings and bedtimes. Just a suggestion and one which describes most of my days. Except I smoke full spectrum THC in the form of pure cannabis in the evenings and use CBD from breakfast time.
There are more choices opening up to try new options previously denied us,

Way back over 10 years ago, the Home Office issued a ruling that was not very widely circulated.
It authorised a GP to issue prescriptions for cannabis products on a "Named Patient Basis".
At that time, Sativex was the first and only product available.
This is a full spectrum cannabis liquid.
This is available under the NHS afaik.

The named patient basis meant that I had to ask my GP to forward my details to the Home Office, effectively confessing to the Government that I was a regular cannabis user!
I got myself onto a Government list, oh f**k.
However I have been officially prescribed cannabis products for medicinal use for over 10 years which is on the official record of the Home Office.

I don't get a card or any documentation, so I can't use the line "It's legal for me officer, honest" because I have nothing to back up a claim. However I could always seek confirmation from my GP, verifying my legality if ever needed.

legal cannabis clubs are needed urgently, the benefits of this natural miracle should be available to everybody of all adult ages.
Modern research has been held back long enough.

That is a key point that you made, you get a choice. You should be able to select from a range, of different strengths and ratio of sativa/indica.
The long enforced illegality of it has stifled re-discovery of it's benefits.

Because typically when buying a bag of weed for the weekend, you buy whatever is in the bag and hope for the best.
That is the worse possible scenario when making medical decisions.
 
A good thread with some sensible comments from folk who enjoy a smoke and the befits of CBD. Funny how those folk who pontificate most negatively and aggressively about the “dangers” of illegal drugs (cannabis,marijuana,ecstasy,cocaine - insert your drug of choice) or resist decriminalisation are generally folk who have not experienced those drugs. I’m convinced a splash of MDMA in the water supply would be far better for the health and well-being of the nation than the fluoride they used to chuck in. In fact maybe chuck them both in - everybody can walk about smiling with nice teeth then.

It's nice to be able to have sensible discussions among adults about a subject that has been associated with the worse in society for most of our lives.
The revelations about the lies we have been told for so long.
The rebels among us have had to endure much while swimming against the flow for so many years.

don't start me off on fluoride in water and dental products that are absorbed subcutaneously directly into the bloodstream that then interact with aluminum that was absorbed into the bloodstream from antiperspirants and aluminum cooking utensils resulting in the bloodstream being permanently topped up with stuff that calcifies the arteries and cakes up the pineal gland which in turn destroys the proper functioning of the endocrine system and the body begins to become very defective especially in the brain which in bad cases can lead to dementia and the urge to write very long sentences.
so, don't start me off

All drug taking carries risk, be it alcohol, tobacco, or any of the currently illegal drugs. It’s estimated that 100,000 people die prematurely from smoking in the uk, and around 50,000 from alcohol each year. Illegal drugs carry risks. Some of these risks stem from the addictive nature of these drugs. Some of these drugs are extremely harmful, others less so, but even the less harmful drugs can be dangerous to some.
I think sensible comments have came from all sides, regardless of experience in the use or not of illegal drugs. I have never used any illegal drugs but I think they should be legalised for reasons of pragmatism. I cannot see the current tactics working, all they will do is create more suffering for addicts, misery for their families and fiends, increased crime, and fill the pockets of criminals who sell them. Also we are spending vast sums of money fighting drugs, that could be used instead to help those trying to stop taking drugs. But taking drugs can for some be dangerous, not all. We should also be aware of the problems created worldwide in the production of some of these drugs, particularly cocaine.
 
Problems arise with recreational drugs when the user has an addictive personality. That person is highly likely to become addicted to whatever they try. This risk is the same whether the drug is legalised or not. To my mind there is no valid reason to continue to criminalise, legalise then control those who cause nuisance as is done with drinkers (joke).

I agree that all drug taking carries a risk. Did you ever read the warning leaflet that comes with your prescription meds ?

Yes. In the states they advertise drugs on tv. They tell you how wonderfull they are.
But at the end of each add they read out possible side effects of taking the drug. Sometimes that takes as long as the add itself.
 
I have never taken "drugs" and by that I mean the illegal kind. What I can't understand though, is that there are loads of addictive drugs prescribed as medicine. Most seem to be addictive if not taken responsibly. ...lots of articles about them. I collect meds for my husband and have to sign for them......so, what's the difference between the legal and illegal kind apart from the opinions of a few, oh and pharma....musn't forget about them and their profits.

Mostly illegal drugs are used for recreation, that’s it
 
One thing that needs thinking about is, if we legalise certain drugs, then you can bet your life that the dealers & suppliers will turn too even worse ways to make their money!!
The dross in our society will always find a way!
