When will the UK legalise cannabis

Post by bennybacker »

Another US state has made medical cannabis legal.

I thought it may be interesting to have a little wager on when the UK will follow suit and see who is the clloset.

Will never ever ever be lagal is a guess as well lol.

So what we are betting on is on what date will you for the first time be able to walk in to a store in the UK and buy medicinal cannbis legally.

My Guess is May 2014.

i personally dont go for that 'if the US legalizes the rest of the world will follow' it aint ever gonnna happen in the UK (well at least not for a 100years), the right wing media has to much interest in the pharmaceutical companies that will take too big a hit if it were legalized

Does when Hell freeze over count as a guess?? And despite what you read, the US is nowhere near legalizing weed. In fact, weed is illegal in every state including those where medicinal marijuana has been approved for use (such as here in Oregon). Federal law supersedes state law. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for legal weed, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Also, the growers don't support legal weed. Ask anyone in Humboldt county if they support legal weed and you'll get a big fat NO! :(

yea, because it looks like some people are still on the ego-trip.....there is no reason except money and if money is a reason for you to keep something illegal which helps billions of people then in my eyes this person is an asshole as big as the people who are responsible for it being illegal!
