Vinnie Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 In Denmark for medicinal purposes. A 4-year trial period where effects will be monitored. Surely this makes sense for the UK as well? - Although Id make the trial run for 10 years. If a Political Party put this forward as major part of their next election campaign, it would be a massive vote winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 If it relieves pain, then I'm all for it. Cannae see the Tory Party buying into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 This is the thing though... Plenty of untaxed cash going about so plenty of money to be made from such a trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question. I'm intrigued. See, I think it would be a vote loser. The vast majority of Brits do not experiment with illegal drugs. For this reason, I don't think our politicians will touch it with the proverbial barge pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I cant point to any official figures, cannabis is currently illegal and its perhaps not the sort of thing folk shout from the rooftops.I think there is a general awareness that cannabis hold some pain relieving qualities for MS sufferers, for example.If it is suggested that cannabis provides pain relief for cancer sufferers, or even healing qualities, I think it deserves proper researching. And given the rise in the number of cancer sufferers, I feel the public would get behind a proper research trial and support a parliament prepared to sanction such a medical trial.I also believe that a research trial might highlight that cannabis is not the dangerous drug it is currently considered to be by politicians, and that there would likely be evidence enough to suggest decriminalising it, so those "criminal" cannabis users would doubtless support a political party showing willing give the subject a thorough consideration.

average white par Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Your somewhat narrow minded approach to this subject surprises me GG... as a clearly educated man you must be aware that the laws governing the use of the hemp plant and it's derivatives are a direct result of Harry Anslinger's witch hunt during the 1930's? This humble weed has been utilised in many ways since time immemorial and, in my equally humble opinion, it's time to stop this relentless crusade against this "evil drug" , which has many scientifically proven benefits as mentioned above by Vincent...In my opinion society should be far more concerned with the long term effects of pharmaceuticals which are shamelessly manipulated through the political system by big money companies, who then lobby and encourage allegedly morally sound physicians to prescribe them willy nilly to any poor ******* with the first hint of a headache, happily picking up their monthly cheque from Bayer while totally desecrating the Hippocratic oath that they studied so hard to be able to take...This may sound somewhat simplistic, and I suppose it is, but I see very little harm in this "illegal drug" in comparison to the "legal drugs" (fags, booze, pharmaceuticals etc) which are constantly wreaking havoc upon today's society in front of our very eyes... with the greatest of respect sir, perhaps you should open your own "very eyes" a little wider and recognise that the benefits of cannabis far outweigh the problems that it allegedly causes...And trust me man...I know...

GG Riva Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 AWP, you do me a disservice. At no point did I offer an opinion on the use or legalisation of cannabis. All I said is that the politicians will never touch it, because their perception will be that most voters would be agin it and politicians don't go for vote losing strategies, trust me.Vinnie suggests that there are far more users than I think. That may well be true, but I can't imagine there are more cannabis users than tobacco smokers or drinkers of alcohol, which as you say cause far more harm than cannabis, but of course, they'll never be outlawed because, yes you've guessed it - it's a vote loser.

Superally Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm for it where there is a medical basis for treatment is thought to be beneficial. Not so sure about the open and free use of Cannabis though - It does have an impact on those individuals predisposed to developing mental heath problems. But the legalisation will do little to stem the supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
