The UK government currently bans the sale and possession of all forms of marijuana. Medical cannabis is legal for cases of severe epilepsy, vomiting or nausea caused by chemotherapy or multiple sclerosis.
Narrow down which types of responses you would like to see.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@9H5RGVC1yr1Y
Yes, legalise, tax and regulate it as well as releasing those serving non-violent drug related sentences.
Decriminalize it, and release Marijuana offenders from prison
Only medicinal cannabis through prescription allowed. Otherwise maintain it as Class B as the drug links lead to psychological and mental harm and has been linked to various criminal acts.
@96Q59YL2yrs2Y
No, and drugs should not be decriminalised
@96H6L7Z2yrs2Y
At the end of the day it's still a drug that's highly addictive. No.
Yes, immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it
@96B6GC32yrs2Y
Strictly only for legitimate medical use
Treat it the same as alcohol. Some bad people will use the drug and use it as an excuse for their behaviour
Yes but can only be consumed in private clubs and cafés and the smell cannot be allowed to reach others' residences.
@95Z47RK2yrs2Y
Yes but only for people the age of 18 or over as they have the right to their own decision
@9SBTMJP4mos4MO
No, and ban it immediately, increasing penalties for violent drug offenders and reforming the healthcare system by abolishing the use of drugs and instead using prescriptions that are not dangerous at all.
@98CPNG42yrs2Y
Yes, and legalise all drugs. Abolition of alcohol in the US created gang wars until that was repealed. If we stop the criminalisation and take active control in helping addicts, all drug related crimes including many violent crimes will be reduced massively, just as they have been in Portugal and Switzerland.
All drug use should be decriminalised, regulated and taxed
@9QYFPYK5mos5MO
No because i don’t want society to drug dependent losers but slightly less Criminalisation while also seeing it as a health issue.
@9QTRJH76mos6MO
Yes however the promotion of products containing Marijuana, cultivation or unlicensed selling should be restricted. Marijuana use should be addressed by authorities as a health addiction issue not a criminal issue.
Yes, legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana, and simultaneously ensure comprehensive public health education and robust regulatory frameworks
@9Q7BWRY6mos6MO
There should be a proper public consultation on this. If this indicates there may be a majority in favour of the legalisation of marijuana then the government should have a referendum on this matter.
yes but only in special cafés
@9PNL77D6mos6MO
Yes for medical use, and a limited amount for recreational use, but increase education on the risks of psychosis in young men who smoke too much
@9NY96K67mos7MO
It should be decriminalised not legalised.
If we decriminalised as opposed to legalising we would reduce prison numbers and I believe it will have a knock on in relation to people using marijuana as an alternative to alcohol. Less violent crime and domestic abuse could be a result.
Never seen a stoner in a punch up
@9NHR3SL7mos7MO
Yes, but prohibit the use of it outside a licensed adults only venue or a private accommodation and release all serving sentences for possession and usage but do not promote marijuana as a good thing and ban all public advertising making the only way to purchase it through licensed businesses for people aged over 21.
@9N7DJSF7mos7MO
Yes, legalise, tax, and regulate it and use the funds for healthcare support for users. Meanwhile increase penalties on those who transport, or illegally sell it.
@9N5WY2Q7mos7MO
No, legalise, tax and regulate it and make sure that unregulated sale and transportation is heavily penalised.
@9MYS9MJ7mos7MO
Yes, legalise, tax and regulate- only use in certain places- must be of certain age, penalties for anyone using outside of set places/ages
Deleted7mos7MO
Yes, and immediately relase anyone serving time solely for drug offenses. Legalise all other drugs and completely unregulate their markets
@9MV4FB57mos7MO
Yes, but only for medical use and strictly controlled so that those actually need it and do not manipulate the system to get it at taxpayers expense
@9MQG69Y7mos7MO
No, but decriminalise it and release people imprisoned for possession of small amounts for personal use.
We should spend more time taxing and regulating usage of similar addictive substances such as vaping and only then decide on whether it is possible to safely decriminalise marijuana.
@9KDZ3C710mos10MO
Legalise, decriminalise & heavily tax (40%)
If we legalise, decriminalise & tax marijuana - the U.K. could see a 2 billion GDP profit per annum (according to various studies).
If we were to implore a similar system as the Dutch in the Netherlands this could reduce the strain we currently see on prisons, policing and costs to the economy - whilst also helping the nation with our current trillion pounds of debt.
It may also bring tourism, alongside boosting exportation and bolster job opportunities to farming communities with liscenced farmers (good for the environment as well as boosting specialist careers and our economic options).… Read more
This also means we would reduce the reliance on 100million pound costs per year on Dutch imports for medical marijuana based care such as Epidolex (epilepsy cbd based drugs) which instead could be home-grown and exported for profit as well as boosting our own U.K. farming.
@9HP8X9T1yr1Y
No, limited / home use without impact on others and children where medical conditions are not exacerbated
@9H47YKG1yr1Y
It should be legalised, heavily taxed and restricted to usage on private property which permits it themselves, and if these private properties are businesses and not residential they should be marked 18+ so children are not influenced, it should also be advised against in the same way smoking is.
yes Cannabis should be legalised, regulated, taxed in a similar way to tobacco. Stop calling it Marijuana, thats a made up racist name for a the plant from America to make it sound 'foreign'
@9GDFVSR1yr1Y
Legalise, tax, regulate, release of prisoner and immediate wipe of criminal records of non violent cannabis offences
@9FVKSV61yr1Y
Yes and regulate it, like tobacco and alcohol. Also, release people in prison for possession and use of it. Only dealers should be imprisoned.
@99MMSTP2yrs2Y
dk, i rather prevent the worst from happening which is drug abuse
@99M4MJS2yrs2Y
No, and execute all drug users.
@8XVZHXR3yrs3Y
yes, and immediatly release anyone serving time solely for this drug offense (distributing, smoking, and possesion)
@8V2Y7PZ3yrs3Y
Adopt the Amsterdam Cafe's and increase tougher penalties for those smoking in public places.
@8TG49FS3yrs3Y
Drugs are an Abomination unto God and should be Completely OUTLAWED!
@8CNRXLK4yrs4Y
Yes, allow it to be sold in private businesses like cigaretes and work towards releasing offenders whose only crime was selling or dealing weed.
Yes. Release anyone serving time for drug offences and legalise, tax and regulate marijuana instead of criminalising it.
@9PTXJQM6mos6MO
Instinctively no, as I don't like smelling smoke. However, I recognise that the evidence suggests that decriminalisation of drugs leads to the best social outcomes.
@9PHJ3HZ6mos6MO
Yes, but it should only be allowed to be used on designated leisure locations such as certain bars and cafes.
@9PDDM2Q6mos6MO
Yes, but only with the agreement of not smoking in public. And have it be pure rather than chemical.
@9NKM7MR7mos7MO
Yes but only for medical use where the evidence proves it is effective and where patients can give informed consent
No. There are too many people playing the system claiming they need it. It should only be legalised for people who need it for medical reasons and the process for prove of that should be very in-depth to ensure no miss use.
@9BYM5Y92yrs2Y
Yes, legalise, tax, and regulate but have establishments for public consumption
@9BWBY8VLiberal Democrat2yrs2Y
yes and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offences and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalising it
@8QMGFMK4yrs4Y
Yes, legalise and tax it (similar to the 'set-up' in the Netherlands) but only allow its use in legalised premises (like 'beer gardens') as to not encroach on conservative/family neighborhoods and to ensure everyone has their space while respecting one another
@9Q3CF476mos6MO
Yes but only if significant education is provided of the impacts that it has on brain health, and should be encouraged only for medicinal use
@9PWZQWZ6mos6MO
Yes, for medical use. Marijuana and drugs in general tend to harm individuals (mentally, physically, etc.)
@9P8DX496mos6MO
Possession/use should be decriminalised when done privately but not in public due to odor and antisocial behaviour. Distribution should be illegal
@9NZZK8C6mos6MO
Yes, it should be seen as a health problem with funding not a criminal problem. It should be treated.
@9NZTZTW6mos6MO
Yes, under strict control for medicinal usage only, and also increase penalties where found to be a contributing factor in a crime.
@9NRNBG87mos7MO
Yes, but if used in built up areas only allow it in non smoking form like tablets so other people don't have to breathe it in
@9NM3C9S7mos7MO
Yes, but it should be treated the same way as alcohol, I.e. you should not drive under the influence.
@9HZKYP2 8mos8MO
Young people in particular should be educated about the true harms that this drug does to people's mental health and their life chances of they become addicted while young.
@9CNKT7PConservative1yr1Y
No, all drugs should be made Class A and punished accordingly
Yes but quality should be regulated and users should agree to be monitored for psychosis and other medical diseases and should not be allowed in homes, only in designated pubs.
@9NMCHHS7mos7MO
Yes but find a strain of it that does not absolutely stink! I don't mind weed but its smell is disgusting.
Yes, but not in a form which means it is cut with tobacco (for example, it can be added to food/drink)
@9FJNLJH1yr1Y
Decriminalising should be trialled for a period of time, same with ecstasy
YES, AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASE ANYONE SERVING TIME SOLELY FOR DRUG OFFENSES
Weed needs to be legalised, taxed and decriminalised. There are so many issues with black market weed right now - with people covering it with salt, bicarb, silica and other powders to try to bulk it out and make it look more crystalised. People will likely start dying soon if this mess isn't sorted out.
However, weed is already legal for medical use. Many people get it prescribed already via private clinics, so some of these answers are redundant.
@968G7H62yrs2Y
No, but its not that bad of a drug
@95VYTZT2yrs2Y
decimalize having and using, legalize medical use and regulate a medical source of production
@95TBFCT2yrs2Y
Yes legalise immediately, tax and regulate and release anyone serving time for marijuana offences.
@95KK3SJ2yrs2Y
Yes, and release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses AND tax and regulate marijuana AND do the same for all other drugs.
@95BRHC72yrs2Y
No, it could encourage more people to say they need it for medical reasons when they are addicts.
@9488NR52yrs2Y
Yes, but only decriminalise and have education and regulation, also awareness about risk of psychosis
@947VFZQ2yrs2Y
Only for medical use and other uses should be a criminal offence.
@93W6KCJ2yrs2Y
No, it should be decriminalised and live in a grey area where it is not an offence to carry it or sell it
@92FXBBK3yrs3Y
Yes, and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses.
@92FWVQVConservative3yrs3Y
No as leads to increased mental health issues
YEs but not for home use as it smells, adopt an approach where there are cafes you go to smoke.
@8ZZDZJ8Liberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Neutral: needs evidence based review
@98FZFXW2yrs2Y
Yes, but have it distributed only by a nationalised entity
@98F6MPZ2yrs2Y
@9863KSN2yrs2Y
Yes, but only make it available in non-smokeable forms so others are not inhaling second hand smoke.
@98627JW2yrs2Y
Yes, if an independent study finds it to be safe enough. Then it should be sold in a regulated market and taxed to have more money for the welfare state.
@97BY8DV2yrs2Y
ban smoking and legalise/tax/regulate Marijuana that can be used without harming others around them
@9794MTK2yrs2Y
No, but It should be decriminalized.
@96QW6Q72yrs2Y
Yes but privately and not publicly.
@95XJT8B2yrs2Y
I support the decriminalisation of Marijuana
@93X6F6F2yrs2Y
Yes along with other drugs, legalise, tax, and regulate all drugs. This can generate revenue for the government, create safer drugs, bring less crime, and provide better healthcare for drug overdoses.
@8TG4NYH3yrs3Y
Yes for medical use but under professional supervision and guidance
@8S36ZMPConservative4yrs4Y
Yes. The deregulation of the cannabis market in the United States has reduced time and increased tax revenue. The same could happen here; decreasing crime and increasing revenue to the Treasury.
@8S2HDNC4yrs4Y
@8RYCX474yrs4Y
Only for medical use and for those not dealing. Minor dealers should do community service on first offence, then prison if they repeat the crime. Major dealers go to jail
I believe it should be allowed but the amount given should be regulated
@8LV5BXL4yrs4Y
dont really care honestly
@8KY9K6H4yrs4Y
Decriminalise it, legalise medical but do not promote it.
@8KHNRHM4yrs4Y
Only if it’s high quality
@9N5WY2Q7mos7MO
No, legalise, regulate but make sure that unregulated suppliers and transporters are punished.
Generally my answer agreed with Count Binface by the computer says no. The daner of AI perhaps?
@99W68WL2yrs2Y
Legalise possession but not dealing or production
@99TNMZS2yrs2Y
No, I support decriminalisation.
@99SLVYJ2yrs2Y
Drug money contributes to the economy by a significant amount but i dont have an opinion on it, if you want to do drugs do drugs, if you need it for medical reasons go for it. knock yourself out im not bothered lmao
@99MCMYX2yrs2Y
Yes, for medical use, but possession for personal use should be decriminalised.
@99MCKJ52yrs2Y
Legalize marijuana use and continue to make supply illegal
Only for carrying, keep the sale of Marijuana illegal
