Legalise Cannabis: And Why It's Madness Not To
Legalise Cannabis: And Why It's Madness Not To
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, or so the quote ascribed to Albert Einstein goes, and that more than applies to the catastrophic failure of the ‘war on drugs’. All it’s achieved is mass criminalisation of disproportionately young Black men, more violence, people with addiction not getting the support they need, handing criminal gangs a massive source of revenue, ensuring dangerous stuff can circulate and so much more. End the madness – legalise it now.

Alcohol is legal because we pay TAX on it. So why don’t they tax cannabis??
One million consumer spending is some purchasing power.

Spot on mate
I can see both points, but Ali I don’t think understands the difference between legalising all drugs and decriminalising, we should still have laws pertaining to drugs, but offer better addiction services to people who are going to do these drugs either way
I can buy tobacco and alcohol to kill myself, but I can’t cannabis to heal myself 🤨
Truthington
Not mdma mate THC and that are on different levels of the drug spectrum!💯
We should drug test every one in Government that would be fun.
Love your content
Is he insane you can’t legalise mdma 😂
Iv smoked weed daily since I was 13 I’m now 32 and I can’t say if ever smoke any dodgy weed nor has it ever been too strong so I don’t see the harm in it in perfectly find btw so … Lol
Completely legalise cannabis for medical and recreational use in the U.K.
Never thought i would agree with owen jones.
LEGALIZE IT DUDE!!!!!
This guy speaks so much sense
One major reason for legalising cannabis is the spice epidemic
I think only the green party and libdems are support this policy.
It fuckin stinks. I was in the states a few months back. Everywhere you went stunk of weed. Horrible. Its only the weak willed that would want to use drugs anyway. Losers.
Crazy that you can buy a bottle of vodka 24 hrs a day that could kill you and not legally smoke weed . Utter madness
It’s funny how legalising cannabis talk was spoken hard about 6 to 5 years ago right before our lovely plandemic happened. It’s like our leaders panicked and used plandemic like here’s your new change 😂🎉
Do we drugs test MPs?
Impossible to get weed in England ive smoked for many years moved here from USA UK weed is Garbage to expensive funding foreign gangs in UK Legalise weed
The Criminals are making millions on Garbage weed
The police have total control of the weed market impossible to find
Alcohol every were
Legalise weed
People smoke it regardless of it being illegal. It’s as if it is legal anyway lol.
No one is asking for cocaine to be legalised. As that needs to be man made. Weed is natural get the argument straight and stop wondering off about other things.
they need to justify why alcohol IS legal
the problem with the people who disagree is that they think of drugs as one whole thing, they dont think of every drug as a different one. so ofcourse they think this is bad, they assume its the same as crack due to their lack of understanding.
So right i don’t understand why British ppl are always left out it help meny people everyone can get weed anyways so why not just let us be and you make a profit
Alcoholism is legal in the UK. Think about it. You can go into any shop which sells alcohol and buy 3 bottles of Vodka and drink it, no one will question what you buy.
You spoke perfectly. I’m so glad I found another who can stay calm under pressure whilst disobeying the FACTS
Britain is still too Victorian sadly to entertain the idea 🙄
UK Government is unlikely to pass any laws that make anyone happy, it’s against their ethos
You’re right, alcohol is far more of a dangerous and addictive substance than cannabis. I’m in the process of struggling to give it up for the sake of my health but all i can think of 24-7 in my mind’s eye is an image of a chilled pint of lager. It’s horrible to resist.
We are sooo far behind.
Who ever wants to legalise cannabis gets my vote 👍
I have severe lower back pain for which i am prescribed MORPHINE which is a laboratory manufactured drug which is basically heroin i take on occasion when the pain is so bad Cannabis which i find helps with the pain we are so backwards in this country as Cannabis helps so many medical problems and grows naturally on our planet Cocaine does not
It’s time to legalise cannabis 💯
Bro really said legalise MDMA lol thats jokes. Legalise CANNABIS!! Forget about the rest
Britain is so backward. Last time I checked, Moldova had faster broadband speeds.
Owen I support you or whatever but how on earth did your mouse cursor go unnoticed on your thumbnail!? Standards at your level!
P.S as someone who smoked weed every day for 15 years. And watched it slowly ruin countless lives around me- I wish the stuff didnt exist.
Love that you brought up how hypocritical these arguments become once you look at alcohol in the same way!
Our cannaboid system in our body was made to consume cannabis. Like it or not
How about a war on alcohol?
That 1st statement is utter nonsense
But what do you expect from a racist liberal o suppose
Y3s weed needs legalizing bit the fact you brought race into it is a reflection of your own racism
No one elses
Hi i tottaly agree with this guy i started at first smoking hash in the erly 90s and becouse it was not regulated i ended up bean hooked on heroin and metherdon for over 33 years my point is if it was regulated i wouldent of got in with the rong people glad to say im clean now weed is only a gateway drug becouse of the people who are involved in selling it if i could of got it from a shop i think my life would of bin tottaly difrent
wtf has race got to do with it? 🤡 🥱
I think if Owen Jones walked onto a mental health ward, he would be banging on the doors screaming to get away from all the Cannabis smokers with Schizophrenia. Which will be around 70% of all patients.
I really dont agree with a lot of your policy’s owen infact hardly anything 😅😂 but on this one i 100% agree with you becouse a lot of my criminal record has cannabis convictions on it witch was from the age of 14 and that lead to me having to mix with ppl i really didn’t have no affiliation with and where bad ppl also i found it extremely hard to get a job becouse i was embarrassed about being a criminal just for smoking a spliff, this law needs to be changed so we can all smoke the herb 🌿 and not be punished for it
The UK is the world’s largest producer and exporter of ‘medical’ cannabis. GW Pharmaceuticals et al.
Alcohol is the biggest drug
Factssss
