Awesome, finally, but I'm sure it'll be a long road to actually getting there. I wonder if they'd actually push this through the way they appear to want to once elected?

I highly doubt it will last long, or if they do get elected and asked about it then they will just pretend they never said anything about it

do you ever wonder if deep in the amazon, there is some plant that has an unknown active ingredient that alleviates the symptoms of cancer. But because of a few greedy fcks who can't make money off a plant we'll never know if such a plant exists and millions will continue to painfully die........don't know if its true, but I've always considered that a possibility.


Also, the tobacco and alcohol companies want you to go out every Thursday, get hammered and smoke an obscene amount of cigarettes, not call a couple of friends over, smoke a joint and watch some tv while eating pizza.



Too much money is involved too make it completely legal, could become more widely decriminalized though.

I would be pretty happy if they legalize it, but i doubt that it would affect me all that much.

Instead of being pessimistic, why not write a letter to your MP to express your opinon on this matter (hopefully its in favour of at least bringing decriminalization to the forefront of public debate).
