It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

Only reason its not legal is gw pharmaceuticals make 7.4 billions pound in profit theresa may husband has big shares in it and also victoria atkins makes a fortune out of it aswel as he husband grows its hypocrisy at its finish uk goverment are so corrupt they dont even hide it anymore blatently in your face aswel

Greater , eras change with population, weed would prolong that. As well financial losses could be reintegrated into political growth where negative investment still affects their trust in forestry. Ritalin is not evil either

Hemp farming played a key role in the building of the British empire therefore I do believe it’s absolutely outrageously hypocritical that the planted has been outlawed, it’s both medicinal and therapeutic 🤷♂️ criminality in reality could be a thing of the past ✌️🫶✊

I’ve smoke weed every day for 22 years now replaced it over alcohol and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made even people are saying I’m looking a lot better than I use to look. In the end beer is the destruction and weed is the healer

Weed is a gateway drug because your exposed to the people that sell it. Not the drug itself.
@Kaiyats
December 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm
I believe it’ll be legalised once the US federally legalised it we tend to follow their lead for some reason like we banned drugs the exact same year Nixon started his war on humanity
@CommentTroller
December 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm
the only reason it could be considered a gateway is because people are already breaking the law and having to go to street dealers. if they have crossed that line in their heads and a street dealer is likely to have other drugs on their menus then it’s much more accessible because weed is illegal. if they regulated and sold it legally they wouldn’t have cocaine on the side if you know what i mean

The government would make so much extra money from legalising it and selling it alongside cigarettes that other taxes could be reduced a lot

Once the country realises the gov is trying to work against us rather than with us than maybe we can all collectively stick our fiddle fingers up to them all and tell them to finally do one!

I dont even use it but do understand that it deffinitly dos have medicinal bennifits and if it didnt make me so paranoid about being criminalised for self medicating then maybe I could manage my anxiety, depression and PTSD better.

Cannabis should be legal for over 18s whether its legal or not people smoke it anyway just legalise it
@ralphswinden9
December 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm
Psychosis induced by cannabis use is something i would not wish on anybody as i and many i know in the mentally ill ghetto have experienced. If it is to be legalised it should only be on prescrition and carefully monitored when prescribed. The chance of having cannabis psychosis is a risk that people do not have to take
@dogglebird4430
December 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm
This video is dated – and dishonest. Sure, very few people have died as a result of the toxicity of cannabis, but the mental health issues stemming from its use are there for all to see. Just read a series of newspaper reports about people who have resorted to extreme violence and even murder, and a high number of the offenders involved turned out ro have been affected by cannabis. It is not a safe drug.
@mukhumor

5 years later and nothing has changed, except Bravermann wants to reclassify Cannabis as a class 'A' drug. 5 years for possession. Even Thailand has legalised cannabis. In Britain the black market is worth £6,000,000,000 p/a.

@JM-io2uv
December 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm
People forget about the issue with harder drugs and how a part of people’s addictions to them can originally stem from people smoking laced weed, legalizing it would stop a lot of this especially when considering that there’s people across the uk lacing bud with spice/K2 and other stuff

I honestly think that we will be the last country on earth to legalise it.
@flynncoxon1104
December 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm
It won’t be legalised cause the government are already making millions. Theresa May’s husbands owns the biggest pharmaceutical cannabis company and transports millions of pounds worth of cannabis every year. Now it makes it even more clear why they don’t want it legalised. Don’t want to give the ppl the same opportunity to make that money but instead keep the industry to themselves. DeMoCrAcY

We also need tetrahydrocannabinol legal aka thc! You seriously think some cbd is gonna help people mentally and physically? It can help you get through the day yes and also has loads of health benefits. But so dose thc! It's a fact that both compounds consumed together can prevent cancer and other types of illnesses. Thc can prevent ptsd breathing problems even eating disorders and all other illnesses aswell. And nicknaming the compounds of the plant is bullshit cbd as Delta 8 medical and thc Delta 9 as unregulated us cannabis consumers know more about the plant then the government dose.

Weed should never have been made illegal in the first place. It was a literal criminal conspiracy to maintain monopolies on various product types when a machine for mass-producing hemp was invented.
