I assume these scientists work for the legalise cannabis brigade, and also claim its not addictive, its a load of codswallop and I wonder just how many of those they "followed" are on the level, they will eventually legalise cannabis and it will open the flood gates to a generation of the lost, which future Dr,s and scientists will be asking for it to be illegal again because of all the health problems it is causing, but hey lets encourage todays lack of parental guidance and disciplined youth to use it, lets just say for myself I'm glad I'm getting old an dwont be around when they eventually mature at around 40, but I feel sorry for my kids and their families

Bit of an overlooked point is...
They're big ,fuck off untipped cornetto type roll-ups. So, that in itself is a great reason not to legalise.

What a waste of one's life to do study on cannabis. Might as well blog or write for Cosmopolitan.

You're just bitter because you're losing the bet :)
And now there's actually been some proper scientific work into that plant over the past two decades instead of the home office saying "drugs are bad" new medicines and therapeutic techniques for previously untreatable conditions are being found.
Sounds a tad more worthy than being a writer for Cosmo.
[edit]
I see you are playing a game, you bummer.

I've forgotten the bet. What was it?
Anecdotally: It's been effectively decriminalised in Bristol: I think the police have been told that their efforts are best directed elsewhere. The city centre stinks of grass & I've often noticed people smoking whilst passing police officers.

The bet was the cannabis would be available legally in the UK within the term of this parliment.
Depending on various definitions it's already won but i'm happy to let it pass.
There's been a few police forces effectively decriminalizing it around the country recently.
May's not come out with a hard line "drugs are bad" statement.
Interesting things appear to be happening, I suspect tax revenue on fags are way down and they're looking for a new tax crop.

You seem awfully upset about a hypothetical thing that wouldn't even affect you.
How much better the world would be if we didn't have anyone who supported a ban on something that other people do without harming each other.

Ah right... I just saw the one you were quoting.
Now I feel very silly indeed.
...In that case I'll pick my favourite response.
