Lemme guess, Smith is a former member of the right-wing, head-up-the-behind, quintessentially-naive and religiously-adulterated Bush administration. Seems logical, no?
Legalize marijuana

Reading this article on the BBC I cannot believe how disconnnected some people are. They mention "Casualties". Seriously now. Who is dying from marijuana. Last I checked the only side affect was a wasted evening sitting in front of the TV. This is pathetic. I'm sick and tired of right wing fanatics would push their hardcore beliefs into the political system. They are going to throw people in jail for this? 5 years now? Anyone who has done Heroin and Marijuana let me know if you think they are in the same drug class. And let me know which is more addictive. Also, which was has known medical benefits?
I just can't believe what is wrong with the world. How can we change the world when idiots are running it?

The true communist nature of Labour showing it's ugly head again. These Labourites have become so arrogant that they don't even listen to their own drug experts who said "cannabis should remain class c because the health risks are limited". But nope, the likes of Brown, Miliband, Smith, Reid and Blair always think their right, and everyone else is wrong.

I'm glad to say that this terrorist government will be booted out in the next election, and let's hope that Labour will never again get their grubby Stalinist hands on power!

As for me, i will continue to happily smoke the herb.

let's see- No, Britain is not in the uSA and our ministers didn't work for Bush. I know bush killed the dinosaurs, but he doesn't run the UK, and we don't like potheaded freaks. To be against nuts out of their heads on drugs is not to be religious , or right-wing. We just don't like drugs and drug nuts.

Geess, am I glad I live in free China, and not next door to you. Stop trying to jam your morals on other people. If you don't like it, don't smoke it

Personal freedom is way high here. I lived in England a long time, and I know how it is there. Blue-nosed and cop-riddled. Not being Christians, Muslims or Jews, we don't have sin. Without sin, we are free from laws against it

what's all this "free China " stuff? Isn't it China at the moment oppressing Tibet? or is that another China?
Are you kidding me that drug taking is LEGAL in China?

drug taking is not a sin, it is anti-social stupidity, and a way for criminals to exploit the addicts. Drug taking legal in China? pull the other one!

Apparently watching the BBC addles your brain more than your neighbors pot. Why do you believe things just because you saw then on TV? We are free, freer than you by a long shot. The "Tibet" business is just a bunch of baloney. I know England. Used to live there. Life in England is grim. Life here is peaceful, happy and relaxed, with a very positive social atmosphere

"peaceful, happy and relaxed"? Sorry mate but you are either taking the piss or you are fond of dictatorships. In any case I was in the UK for about 5 years and even though I admit never been in China there is no way you can persuade me that you rather live in China then lets say London

Any government who allows its own people to smoke pot freely are doing so in order to subdue them and brainwash them with propaganda whilst they are stoned.

That I live here, not in London or Greece, disproves your point

you are kidding us. How many people do you execute every year? not for murder, but for other offences? I think you have been reading Mao's little red book too much.
Also, I think you are too liberal with the opium as well.

This thread is soo funny! How about some of you English Bobs getting together and talking with some of our John Waynes about gun control, and how free you are in England? They will have quite a difference of opinion about that. China is a vast and wonderful country, whose economy is doing much better than the U.S. or G.B. Please mention that in England, there is almost no place you can go nowdays without being recorded by camera. Now that's freedom, isn't it? And the U.S. will soon require fingerprints on a national I.D., perhaps along with a DNA sample. In the name of freedom, of course.
Frankly, watching Rush Limbaugh is more damaging to your mind than smoking pot.
