  2. Well done Germany! Hopefully this will set an example that many other countries will follow in their own way. In the UK we have medical cannabis but smoking it is not allowed, medical users must use a dry herb vaporiser which, while getting you less stoned is healthier for your lungs. Medical cannabis is not available for everyone though and I think recreational legalisation is about personal freedom for people who just want to unwind with a joint at home or in public. I am optimistic that the UK will eventually come to terms with recreational weed use and choose to legalise it as a way of undermining organized crime and generating helpful tax revenues.  Weed legalisation is, to me, quite obviously a global phenomenon albeit in its early stages of development.

    When I think about what The Future looks like, I think of high technology and more relaxed laws in many areas. As we progress as a world, perhaps a progression is a world where cannabis is just another consumable item along with food and drink. I'd love to grow my own weed in the UK but obviously can't legally and so would never risk it. Similarly I've stopped using it entirely cos the law scares the bejesus out of me these days. I'm hoping the US will make weed legal on a federal level within the next few years – having nearly half the states with legal recreational cannabis and still being illegal at the federal level seems to be silly and untenable in the long term. IMO Canada seems to have got things right as a model. Germany's new legalisation is exciting and wonderbar. I'll be interested to see how the new laws play out and whether any neighbouring countries and EU countries in general start to put cannabis legalisation on the agenda for the next decade.

    I see many people in the UK saying that it'll never happen here but I'm not so sure. All it would need is a mass ground swell of support at the grassroots and lobbying level to start to change politician's minds on the topic as they typically say "drugs are illegal and will remain as such" but as the legal cannabis case gains countries throughout the world, Britain will seem increasingly backward on our drugs policies and I think that wider global acceptance of cannabis as a regulatable, taxable commodity will put serious pressure on the UK government not to look stupid and GROW up!

    I reckon give it 10 years max and non medical users will breathe a breath of weedy air at least at home, if not in public in the UK.

    Scotland wants to decriminalise possession of all drugs in small amounts – that seems progressive.

    In summary- it's my belief that it will happen eventually in the UK in my lifetime – I'm going to most likely live until the 2060's…. look at that year date – can you really imagine a futuristic vision in the 2060's where weed is still illegal in the UK? Maybe you can but a lot can change in a decade as we've seen with Canada, the US, Malta, Uruguay, Luxembourg, Thailand. We can make it happen. Amen.

  10. It needs to be "DE-SCHEDULED" NOT rescheduled!!! Rescheduling is simply a PLOY to hand over the ENTIRE CANNABIS INDUSTRY to BIG PHARMA!!!!!! PHARMA for 50-60 years has made HUNDREDS of BILLIONS by manufacturing drugs that do NOT do as good a job as plain old simple cannabis, and cause SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS!!! Now that people are becoming aware, they stand to lose their STRANGLEHOLD on peoples HEALTH, and the BILLIONS. So what do they DO?!?!? They get BIDEN to finaly say "we'll move it to SCHEDULE 3". Sounds GOOD, HUH? "NOT"!!! That leaves it scheduled as a DRUG, which puts it in the HANDS OF BIG PHARMA!!!!! It needs to be put in the same classification as HERBAL SUPLEMENTS!!!!! Obama-Biden had "8 YEARS" and did absolutely NOTHING!!! Now Biden has done nothing for 3 more years! Gotta wonder just HOW MUCH Schmoe is going to make from "BIG PHARMA"!!!!!

    A little background. Years ago I met a person who had athsma. He was prescribed weed from the GOVERNMENT for it!(yes, the Fed Gov had/has an 800 acre farm in Mississippi where they GROW WEED) At the time I said "boy, wish I had athsma"! Years later I'm going thru divorce, got a DUI, so had to quit smoking or ex could have ratted me and I would lose custody, gone to jail, and lost my job. Worked in wood product factory with lots of wood dust. 2 weeks later I could'nt breath. Went to doc and was diagnosed with ATHSMA! Doc prescribed 3 different inhalers, all of which fine print said could cause lung infection. Over the next 3 years, wearing bigger and bigger face masks, I developed lung infections "10" times. Last time, hospital. Finaly doc agrees to sign off, so I can quit and collect unemployment. Couple monthes later, freind offered me a joint. Figured why not. Off probation, no longer working around dust, but still having to use inhalers. 3 TOKES, and my lungs CLEARED RIGHT UP!!!!! Threw away my inhalers and never looked back. But my lungs are permanently damaged from the infections, so when covid hit, I had to be particularly careful. Got lucky and never had it! Now I hardly EVER partake, but its a cautionary tale. PLEASE!!! DONT let SCHMOOE SELL US ALL OUT TO BIG PHARMA!!!!! DE-schedule, not RE-SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!

    What theyre really saying is…"We dont want individuals to profit from the potential billion dollar industry, and instead want to funnel billions more into the big pharma companies first so that they have a strangle hold and control every aspect of the cannabis market so its impossible for small business to rise. Everyone knows people in governemnt care more about company profit over personal happiness."

  14. Canada dumps all their shite that won't sell in North America in Australia too. This added to Australia's almost impossible labyrinth of paperwork for Australian producers, leaves us with the international left-overs and very little choice for medicinal cannanbis.

  22. Cannabis may have beneficial properties but it was definitely a gateway drug for me personally onto much harder drugs, it ruined my chances at school too as i was doped up most the time and my honest opinion everyone i know who uses it is dopey and slow to being almost dumb

  29. Uh oh big pharma is already going to cease full control over extracts of cannabis and make more regulations on it for the small individual grows at home for personal use. This is not what the purpose was back in the 90's for legal Cannabis use, not to make Cannabis a dirty, gross, unhealthy tobacco like big tobacco did.
