Cannabis - It must be time for legality.

CBD oil is legal in Ireland/everywhere. Anyone find it any good?

Can't stand weed junkies.
My neighbour there is a stink of weed from his apartment from 8 in the ****ing morning.
Waster needs to get a job.

I'd prefer a weed 'junky' neighbour than an alcoholic neighbour or a coke head neighbour or a heroin junky neighbour every single time.

People who are going to be junkies are going to be junkies. I'd much rather their drug of choice was weed.

nozzferrahhtoo I found an article you might be interested in...

Or put another way "I can not reply to your previous questions/points/arguments/posts so here is a hand wavey distraction to deflect from that".

I am not sure why you would think anything written by the less intelligent Hitchens would interest me. But it might surprise you to know I already read that article in the past.

And I remembered enough of it to suspect all your "arguments" on this thread were merely lifted from it and you were making no original points of your own.

Especially when you trotted out, almost verbatim, his "No, correlation is not *necessarily* causation. But it is not necessarily *not* causation either" quote from it the other day. He even misrepresents, in almost exactly the same way you did, the argument about how and why we think a legal product would impact the criminals market. He even derides business men, just like you did. He even used the same phrase you did "cynical businessmen". It is like a 1:1 mapping of the things you presented on the thread basically.

So why should it interest me when it contains basically all the same things you have already plagarized from it, and I have rebutted, and you have run away from?

If you think there is a specific point in the entire article you have not already made, and could benefit from consideration, however.... then by all means quote it, cite it, or point me to it. I am not seeing anything I have not dealt with already there.

Actually, you're wrong. You're uber confidence makes me blush. I only came across that article today

I simply do not believe that to be honest. But it is not for me to say. I will leave others to read the article, read your posts, and notice the string of remarkable similarities both from exact turns of phrase, to misrepresenting my points in the exact way he misrepresents those same posts.

But, as expected, when asked for a specific point in the article you think has not yet been addressed or is somehow interesting you responded with..... well..... as usual.... nothing at all. So save your feux embarrassment for yourself.

I'm only seeing this thread now and there's too much to read. Maybe it's been spoken about already in this thread but i'm just wondering, is legalization being talked about at all? I haven't seen or heard of it in the news or heard of it being talked about in the Dail.

Leo has expressed an interest in re-examining the law.

That said Leo says a lot of things..

I wonder did Justin Trudeau send him a pair of cannabis leaf socks to celebrate the occasion.

Either way it’s a ridiculous law and widely ignored.

It’s only a matter of time before we eventually see the futility in wasting money attempting to ban a flower that does way less harm then tobacco and alcohol.

We all know the dangers (or lack thereof) of said drug is nothing to do with it's legal status.

Anyway. Devil's advocate here: it's not that long since we saw the headshops being closed forcibly. Has that mentality/pressure group gone away or what? I say this because, other than pure ignorance (not that there's much of a difference, I know) that's one of the strongest obstacles I can see blocking the path.

(That and the wonderously health-sensitive vintners ass)

The stuff being sold in the head shops was dangerous tho, didn't a few people die from that garbage they sold? maybe i'm mistaken.

The above is simply not true, it does not give you a better sleep either does alcohol,
Its a different kind of sleep than normal sleep its a sedated sleep which in the long term is horrifically bad for you .,

You do not reach REM (dream sleep ) from Drinking or smoking sleep , your body needs REM so much so that if you don't get it during sleep and deprive it from your body long enough you will start to get it when you are awake,
Have you ever seen a homeless wineo in a park talking to himself and shouting at nothing, That's caused by never getting his dream sleep due to alcohol abuse so he is hallucinating during the day,

Almost all weed smoker who quite report that they start to have crazy vivid dreams when they sleep. Its due to never getting to the required depth of sleep while smoking weed,

I've been smoking weed since i was about 16 or 17, some of those years i had a smoke most days of the week. Everything you have just said has not been experienced by me. I get a great nights sleep after having a smoke. I don't know where you read that but it's news to me and it could well be true in some cases.

Would this be your justification for keeping cannabis illegal?

Why we sleep = Matthew Walker,

No i say make it legal
These are side effect for people who abuse Cannabis and Alcohol ,
If your an adult and responsible there shouldn't be an issue,

You can abuse food and become obese i don't see anyone calling for food to be banned,
You can drive a car into a ditch or a bunch of people,
There are a hundred things in life you can abuse and they will cause problems that are not banned,
Its all about being a responsible adult.
