why is weed illigal???

[Hap]

a valuable way to explore altered states of consciousness reasonably safely. This "spiritual" side of its use 

Poppycock

[Jackal1]

Pot smokers range across all socio-economic strata, from guys in the gutter to phd's.  Just imagine if Hitler had become a stoner instead of trying to take over the world...

Hitler was a speed freak.

Thats the kind of operations that would go out of business if MJ was made legal. We wouldn't have the illegal trade anymore. We would have legal farms growing it.

You have to give them credit. It was an ingenious way to get around the whole large-scale importation problem.

Was thinking about your transport issue zaz, you're right and it's bulk is the single most divergent aspect of cannabis over any other narcortic. While that is a hinderance in certain situations such as illegal boarder crossings and illegal mobility in general, it is infact no problem for those who have the power to move it once it is a 'confiscated package' within the boundries of the law.  
 The bulk means it is one of easiest narcotics to discover and sieze, make it legal and you've just taken away the cash cow that sustains between the higher value shipments which are harder to spot. Legal cannabis would not take any real pressure off drug enforcement agencies or their funding but it would add the need to fund a new division to stop the cannabis 'moonshine' elements....ok enough thinking back to friday.

Yup, that's why in Europe and Canada Hashish is the more common imported version. Hashish being the refined resin of marijuana without all the bulky extraneous vegetable matter. It's far more compact and therefore much more easily smuggled. The raw plant form is largely only that which is domestically produced.

as someone who knows someone who once smoked a joint or something like that i can promise you the hashish quality in the uk is made with petrol and the cannabis is made of plastic, joe public is buying crap that probably doesnt contain thc in any ammount. Any decent harvest here is being shaken of its pollen and made into hash for export, the useless buds coated with fibre glass to look like crystals....so the good product is gone and the party animals keep buying the poison... no problem getting drugs out of course. The rest of Europe is very easy to travel around but no one can be bothered with risking the UK and our sheeple are so screwed on bad grade class A drugs also. only the less wild users who only smoke a few joints when the time is right and like to appreciate them are noticing but the hippy notion of peace, love and pure green grass has long travelled the road to the big city and got hooked on something jimi hendrix would have spat out and never smoked again.
