Debate~topic- legalisation of cannabis in uk | will is craving one, also i wanna c what the non freak membe

The main reasons given against the legalisation of canabis are:

1. It would lead to an increase in the push of harder drugs.

 In a way, you have to see this argument. Drug dealers are not going to stop just because canibis is legal. They will still want to make money, and so, will push the 'harder' drugs

2. It would cause a drop in the age of use.

 This is also true. Think about tobacco or alcohol products. Because they are illegal only for under 16's and under 18's respectivly (in the UK anyway), young children (sometimes 9 years old and younger) are drawn to them to be more 'grown-up'. At the moment, I'm not sure what the 'normal' age for cannibis use is, but it is quite likely that this will drop should a 'fixed' age be set

I wont mention the reason for lega;ising canabis, as they have already been touched upon. However, one other point I would like to make is;

Canabis, in itself, is not harmful. It is only when it is smoked that it causes damage. Smoke, (and other substances if taken with tobacco) get into the lungs, and can cause problems. Canabis can be very helpful to people who suffer from condidtions such as MS etc. The most efficient way to administer this would surely be in pill form? Why then, has this idea not been developed?
