Weed, is it me?
Maybe it's just me getting older & out of touch but it has been bugging me to know more from a wider audience.
Over the last 12 months in particular I have noticed a proliferation of people in public spaces and also more alarmingly car drivers smoking weed.

Naah that ain't old pal and what your seeing is irresponsible idiots abusing the green and the law and numptys who don't have consideration for others whilst smoking the bud in public thinking it's cool it's not you mate and it is alarming but still guess it's better than getting drunk and causing nuisance or even drink and driving

I had a very funny experience just a few weeks ago.
The wife and I popped into sainsbury's to pick up a few bits on our walk home from town, she went inside while I sat outside on a bench to have a crafty ***.
Sat there for a few minutes playing on my phone etc, an elderly lady (I'd imagine mid 70's at least) came out of the supermarket and sat down next to me. I assumed she just wanted to rest her legs, we exchanged greetings and the usual moan about the weather etc etc.
I look away to see if the Mrs is in sight and when I look back at the old lady she's lighting up a 6" joint !!! I sat there in complete amazement, I must of had a shocked look on my face because she smiled and said it helps her with her arthritis.
It was quiet surreal to be honest, I couldn't help but grin as this little old lady puffed away on this huge joint like an old pro....

I think it depends where you go, mate. There are some areas in the UK that are almost drug-free, but then other areas where drugs are commonplace.
One of the many reasons it should be legalised. The U.S. has impressed me in recent years with the more lenient stance it has adopted towards weed; it is now legalised for recreational use in several states, and many states allow it for medicinal use. However, I just can't see our government taking similar steps any time soon. The politicians don't have the courage to make such a bold decision, and would be far too fearful of the criticism it would inevitably attract from some corners.

How does weed grow brain cells then?
Most people I know who smoke weed are a waste of space. Not motivation to get on and do anything at all they have no drive.
So yes they may not want to fight anyone but they are hardly a benefit to society....

It doesn't and in all honesty causes problems with young ones whose brains are still growing/wiring themselves in....Also motivation is a big problem too if it's not just used as a recreational thing, if you're smoking it during the day you are not getting much done lol

It's interesting to hear different people's point of view on this matter. So many people are quick to say "I know a stoner who is a waste of space etc". I just want to put it out there that I know a lot of professionals who are stoners and earn mega money. And by professionals, I mean partners of accountancy firms, mortgage advisers, production directors for housing developers.

Wasn't really my point, anything used to excess is going to fcuck you up eventually.
Personally I think that anyone who wants to get hold of dope, coke, heroin, ecstasy etc. can do so pretty easily anyway, so why not legalise and control it properly?
Is there anyone here who doesn't agree that the 'war on drugs' has well and truly been lost?

I'd rather be a pothead than a pisshead or a smackhead never had any issues in my bud smoking life going on to 38 and got a clean licencse no criminal record to this date, if the government could control it meaning tax it I'm sure the would legalise it, I stopped drinking bout 12 years ago as it just wernt the same after the smoking ban and my daughter caught meningitis, loved going down the local labour club for a pint and a game of snooker but if your stoned you can soon become sober if wanted but if pissed out of your tree you ain't got a chance of getting back to the norm, just me and my opinion folks as we all have them

all drugs are the same, whether it be cannabis, cocaine, alcohol , caffeine, sugar or paracetamol. Everything is fine in moderation.
too much of anything has negative implications on your health.
personally I think it COULD all be legalised but there's far too many idiots with no self control who would kill themselves in weeks.

Most drugs including heroin (the worlds greatest pain reliver prescribed to dying people by the nhs) has a medical benefit.
But the Alcohol that we all love that has no medical benefits what so ever and is enjoyed by millions as harmless! Everything in excess is harmfull including water. Educate yourselves instead of being the government's sheep!
