The notion that cannabis is a gateway drug is absurd. What it actually comes down to is willpower and strength of mind. I have smoked weed now for 6 years, but do I need it? NO. I enjoy it, it relaxes me, but i have no cravings like those so often associated with cigarettes. I personally cannot understand why people even smoke cigs, obviously i use them for joints but that's it.<BR/><BR/>I have even quit drinking alcohol, as i realised how much it affects me in a negative way. I didn't like the way alcohol was making me feel or even the cost. I have friends that on a night round town won't blink an eye at spending up to and above £100. That would buy enough weed to last a month or so for me.<BR/><BR/>So cannabis remains illegal while tobacco and alcohol are legal the world over and killing people every day. How is it possible that the government can tell us that marijuana is a danger to society? A look at the link below shows the figures for deaths by alcohol tobacco and other drugs.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.drugscope.org.uk/druginfo/drugsearch/ds_results.asp?file=%5Cwip%5C11%5C1%5C1%5Cdeaths.html" REL="nofollow">Death figures</A><BR/><BR/>Any substance is open to abuse be it cannabis, alcohol or even penicillin, as shown by the penicillin resistant bugs that are now developing. By legalising marijuana the government can then ensure that people have a way to buy their drugs without dealing with unsavory types and without supporting organised crime(though i find usually people selling weed are just normal folk trying to get an easy wage).<BR/><BR/>I'll leave it there because i could rant forever, but i advise you all to sign the online <A HREF="http://www.ethical-business.com/?sect=detail&pet=34" REL="nofollow">petition</A>.Konciousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239775785353426795noreply@blogger.com
