Speaker: Cannabis: make it legal but…, in reply to bob daktari,
Yes but supermarkets operate in a market where it is legal to sell. This is why they sell tobacco. No body bothers growing tobacco and hence it is profitable to major international companies. My feeling is if you can’t be bothered to grow it or find someone to give it to you then go without. I’m not suggesting we make getting blazed a compulsory act. What will happen if we make it legal to sell is that British American or their equivalent will swing into action. Maybe people are happy with that concept but it doesn’t in anyway minimize the potential for harm. You simply replace tinnie houses with far more sophisticated,well resourced and amoral sellers.

I agree that the standard of weed is likely to drop but that devotees will use careful cultivation to keep standards high for their own crops. The general lowering of the strength of cannabis is not really a problem though. Less strength less potential harm. As for a black market, it exists now. All cannabis is a black market product (well up until yesterday’s parliamentary decision anyway) but legalizing personal crops will radically reduce the profit and therefore any black market will be restricted to those with significant net worth who want the Rolls Royce of weed. Growing bush weed or mass product hydroponic simply won’t be as profitable as growing lettuce. As for the issues with CBD and THC levels, if you need cannabis for pain relief then you will be able to obtain medical stuff from the chemist.
