Many people are questioning whether or not cannabis should be legalised in the UK. Cannabis can cause paranoia, restlessness, mood swings, hunger or even psychosis in large amounts. The main active ingredient in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabino (THC). This leads to arguments against cannabis being legalised in the UK. The plant contains more than 400 chemicals, including cannabidiolic acid, an antibiotic with similar properties to penicillin, but different chemical of the plant can be used for medicinal or recreational purposes.


SO DNT SMOKE !!!! END OF STORY !!!

In response to One Thought - The statistics here are for OECD countries only. Afghanistan is not an OECD member-country. The figures here are based on official reports; however, it is known that there is inadequate surveillance of cannabis use in many countries.

Of the top 10 countries for the number of people who have ever used cannabis, five are also in the top 10 for rating themselves as very happy and the top 10 for life satisfaction. None are in the top 10 for countries with people who rate themselves as not very or not at all happy. Six of the top dope-smoking countries are also in the top 10 for fruit juice consumption. Four of the top cannabis-using countries were in the top 10 for having attended a demonstration, and five were in the top 10 lists for joining a boycott and signing a petition.
