I heard of lost of good reasons for it to stay illegal, once it's legal the Gov will shit all over it and like you say with the low key from UK Cops it a win win for us I suppose!No, most police forces have qnnounced a soft approach to small time growing and smoking, i know a few who have had a slap on the wrist for plants and eeed at most. Our laws our nothing compared to strick countries and many other european countries like spain have similar style weed policing.
My police force openly announced that if you do it privately and dont piss anyone off they wont bother you, had four pigs round my mates door when about ten of us were seshing big time and they merely commented on the smell, laughed and wiahed us a good night. My mate is a known dealer to the police vut they simply cant be assed.
I support the soft approach over the bs that America call rec and med and works well as were all fucked on cheese most of the time

Nothing is EVER going to pay for the NHS bill. The reason you probably haven't seen one is because it doesn't matter how much the UK gov't spends if it never intends to pay it. Why continue to check the depth of a hole if you never intend to stop digging?
That's what socialism is, you spend, spend, spend regardless of income. I'll agree that socialism does bring equality in that everyone ends up equally poor. Oddly though the leaders in charge of creating "equality," somehow end up with the best of everything. Funny that.
Venezuela, Soviet Union, Cuba, the pilgrims that came over on the Mayflower with their initial social structure, Jamestown settlement floundered repeatedly until John Smith saved the day by enforcing the the rule "no work, no food, " take your pick, all Socialism structures, they all failed. Socialism has never succeeded and never will. Unless of course, you're definition of success is to make everyone poor, then it can be defined as being extremely successful with a 100% success rate.

The question was asked and movement started, it was quickly squashed with a short sharp no. Debate have happened, yanks have swam the divide to scope potential markets but seriously it just isnt British and the kids abuse it like candy already so yer, we already have a lot of social issues that reporr hits on.
Our view of the outside world is that your all a little strange with your laws and stuff but mainly a little strange.

Don’t see what the big fuss is about being legalised in CA.
Why buy it when you can grow it?
Sure you gotta get the right equipment but that’s an investment so to say.
If you can’t be bothered growing these wonderful/easy plants then I guess you should be conned into buying it..
Still a step in the right direction.

I'm not British. I'm an American who worked in England for 8 months under the NHS. The American system is much more efficient, it's not perfect but it's much more efficient.Rollit up needs more fucking @mods identification or bigger flags as i didnt know there were so many Brits here, Hi pleased to meet you

It should have never been illegal in the first place. It's sickening that they can throw someone in jail over a plant and a majestic peaceful one at that. Yet they are dishing out prescription pills left and right. Makes me sick to my stomach and want to vomit.

I've came to the conclusion that I'm not gonna change the world just gonna nail down my own little corner of it actually this is working out better than I thought I've put my focus on turning out the best quality I can as there is a glut of mid quality outdoors stuff & soon people will tire of it at any price & im sure there is gonna be a lot of small closet grows in the future

I see it as a very good thing but unfortunately it will have negative consequences for many.
The price is going to plummet. Lot's of outdoor growers will be struggling to make a profit. Many will not survive. There was a show on called The Profit last night about Humbolt County and marijuana and someone said they were worried that people would be able to buy a gram for $10 at Walmart. Forget Walmart. I just looked at an online menu for a dispensary in Portland Oregon and you can buy a gram for $4. Same thing across the river in Vancouver Washington. So many people are rushing to make a dollar in the cannabis industry and many are going to end up losing money on their endeavor. It's a big money play now. The small guy will be squeezed out.
With the recent purchases of Botanicare, General Hydroponics, and Gavita, by Scotts Miracle-Gro the writing is on the wall. Other big boys including Monsanto are already working on getting in all the way. I bet they already have their own super seed with all the money and resources they have.
The cannabis industry will end up being controlled by just a few large companies. The same thing that has happened to the microbrew industry will happen to the cannabis industry. But just like the microbrew industry, the top brands stand to make a lot of money selling their brand and walking away. Who could blame them? Fight for distribution and shelf space or walk away set for life. Not a hard decision. The good thing is that once the big boys get in there will likely be an update to the antiquated federal cannabis law we have that makes cannabis worse than cocaine. Similar to repealing prohibition only it took a significantly longer amount of time. These guys stand to make billions so they'll lobby for it just like anything else they profit from.
I don't see any federal enforcement in the states that have legalized cannabis.. There are not enough resources available. The entire west coast is already legal and the northeast is already medical use with a couple recreational use states. Then another dozen medical use states including Florida across the country. The domino's are falling.
In the end high quality cannabis will be legally available to the consumer in the United States.
Oh,
I don't watch reality shows like The Profit but I saw a commercial for it while watching the morning business report on CNBC and couldn't miss a show about pot. I'm sure others watched it as well.

We have enough money to cover it though, scaremongerings been going a long time yet still everyone flocks to get treated by the NHS.
More worrying is Americas debt to the world bank, you need legalization more than we do, hec half your country needs clean drinking water without the pre war lead.
Uk has been ticking along, US is a different story, white trash, poverty and a twitter troll for a president
