Cannabis
I think that bringing cannabis back into a class B type it will be more serious. I think that people will still smoke it and will get in trouble.
I think that it should not be illegal because they are just harming themselves. I think that if it is illegal people will go crazy because they need it. They should be allowed to smoke it but they should take a class to see what it is doing to them.
I think keeping cannabis illegal would keep everyone safer but I understand that people might go insane without the drugs.
Overall I think that cannabis should be illegal but if it was used carefully in medicines it would be fine.
It should be illegal becouse it is bad for your health like all other bad drugs.
Cannibis has raised to a class B drug that might make people not take it as much its a 50/50
It is there choice to take at there own risk.
I think Cannabis should be illegal because it can harm the person taking it and others around them. If it was only taken in enclosed places and in controlled amounts or for medical purposes it would be ok.
I think cannabis should stay illegal because it can be very harmful and dangerous. I do agree that people should have free will to do what they want but if they are harming themselves and others then it really isn’t their choice. I think the police and other services should try to help more people get off drugs so they can get on with their lives.
If you can passive smoke it it should be illegal because you could harm someone else who chose not to take it, but if you can’t it should be legal due to it’s only harming you and it’s your fault you took it.
It should be if you need medical help and you should carry your prescription to prove you need it.
I think cannabis should be allowed to be used in medicine. But in anything else it should be illegal as it is a drug basically and most other drugs are illegal.
I think cannabis should not be legalised. If people smoke cannabis then it is there choice and I think that if cannabis were illegal then less people would smoke it! It should be allowed in medicine as it helps people but not allowed to smoke it as it harms you and others around you!
I think cannabis should be illegal because it’s very dangerous and can damaege ur body and anybody around you.
Sometimes cannabis can be ok for medical reasons but if not used in that way they should be illegal.
I think that Cannabis should be illegal because children at 12 years of age are smoking it. It can also damage your body and can cause your heart to stop beating. The only time Cannabis should be legal is when it is used for medical uses and people that are stressed as long as they are careful on how much they take.
You shouldn’t be allowed cannabis because it is very dangerous and it causes things like heart and lung disease, but the people who take it obviously know what’s coming and they shouldn’t be expecting a surprise and it is their choice. My opinion is that it shouldn’t be allowed because 12 year olds are smoking it and it is getting to serious.
I think cannbis is illegal because they are smoking at the age of 12 and it is hurting there friends because when they breath they pull it in side there body. It’s really bad because they are damaging there own body to. So I think it is illegal.
I think it should still be illegal because it can cause lung and heart disease and it is really dangerous but some people need it if they are ill.
I think that the drug cannabis should be illegal unless it is being used carefully and is being handled by somebody who knows what they are doing such as when it is being used in medicines. If you are using it as a drug that can harm you or those around you then it should be made illegal. As cannabis has now been moved to a class B drug there will be a bigger consequence if you are caught with it.
People can take cannabis and die if they want. But I don’t think it’s fair on other people who inhale cannabis when they go past the people smoking cannabis.
I think if your taking it yourself then thats your decision and it shouldn’t be illegal but if you are giving it to other people then that should be illegal. I also think it is unfair to sentence them to a long time in jail because their taking it at their own risk although I think if caught they should get about 5 - 6 months.
I think Cannabis should be illegal because if people are taking it the bad way it can harm you, but if people are taking it for medicines then it should be legal.
Cannabis should stay illegal because it harms your body and it causes passive smoking and that damages other people’s body’s.
But it should still be allowed in medicines.
I think Cannabis should be illegal because it is harming you and you could get Cancer from it but if it is perscription it should be allowed for that. If it stays illegal less people will take it.
I think Cannabis should be illegal because it can do harm to you. If you want cannabis it is your own risk to take it is and it your own choice to take away your life.
I think that cannibis should be illegal and should be kept in class B because it is very bad for people because people still smoke it wich can kill them!
Also cannibis should be only used in medicine to make pople healthier, but if it is not in medicine it should stay illegal!
I think cannabis should be illegal because it can harm your health. You might also get skint because it costs a lot of money to buy it.
It will also cause passive smoking which can harm others.
Although it should be sold in shops as a medicine because it doesn’t harm anyone.
I think cannabis should be illegal because it IS dangerOUS and kill you.
f it’s a medicine and if you are taking it safely that would be ok. It could still damage inside your body.
Very interested to read all your comments I hope that some of the P7 children will feed back to you after they return from Benmore.
I think cannabis should be illegal. It is very bad for you and isn’t safe.
I think that the people on drugs should get help.
We don’t see why Cannabis should be legalised. All it does is damage your health and destroy your life! In the long term it will just make you miserable. We feel very strongly about this issue and hope that it is never legalised.
I think that cannabis should be illegal because it is very harmfull to the person who takes it and and people around Him/Her. Some people under the age of 12 smoke cannabis (this is the dealers falt) but we think that it should still be allowed in medicines.
I think cannabis should be illegal because a lot of the Scottish MP’s smoked it when they were young and has made them unhealthy.It could be used for a medicine.
I definitely think that cannabis should be illegal along with all other harmful drugs. All drugs can harm your body and then lead you on to a life of crime. If any drug was legalised it would make it easier to get and there would be alot more drug addicts.
cannabis should not be legal,if cannabis was legal people would keep on taking it and the people who are taking it will feel really ill.
I think cannabis should be illegal cause its addictive and can kill you. The worlds better without any drugs like cannibis.
We think that cannabis is a drug which people SHOULDNT take because they will get addicted and make people around them take will start to take it.people take it for fun and to be happy but it will control your life and steal your money.
We think that it would be safer if it stayed illegal because if it was legal more people will take it and more people would be at risk of death.
I think that cannabis should never be legal and it is very dangerous
i think cannabis terrible and shouldn’t legal as there is a risk of death if you take it constantly
I think Cannabis should stay illegal Because it is harmful to yourself and others and if it is legalised people could take it when they want and the police won’t be able to do anything about it.
I think cannabis should only be used in medicine otherwise it should still be illegal because it can harm people if they are stupid enough to take it.
I think people should be allowed to smoke but they should know what it is doing to them.But I also think it should be illegal
I think cannabis should stay illegal because it is harming there body
if it was legall then they should go to a class to see what they are doing to there bodys and what effect it has.
i also think that if they are cought with it they should be arrested and ttokin to court.
I think cannibis should be kept illegal cause it is really harmful and you can die of cancer or different diseases!!!But it is the persons fault if they take cannabis and their the ones that will suffer!!!
;]
I think Cannibis should stay illegal because it will stop users using it but they might go crazy since they dont have it.:D
I think cannabis should be used as medicine not just for fun or something like that. I think it should be medicine because if it is not used as medicine then it can hurt and harm people.
I think Cannabis should stay illegal as it it is very harmful and there is a risk of death,but then it is not just up to me. Many people who now take cannabis now wish they had never tried it,because they are now addicted.
I think that canabis should stay illegal.
Because there trying to stop people from smoking tobbacco and if they let canabis llegal then they’ll just start smoking that as well.
Thankyou.
i think cannabis should stay illegal because it is very harmful. :]
i think that cannabis should stay illegal bacause it can kill you!!!the drugs that are illegal are illegal for a reason.i think it’s dumb considering letting cannabis legal:):)
I don’t think Cannibis should be leagalised as if it was then people could take it when they want and it would really effect their health.If it was legal then people might take an over dose and die and nobody would have been able to do anything .
I think canibus should be illegal because it effects people’s health so much. Although it is used in medicine and makes people feel better it should not be legal. It is so adictive and if you get adicted to it ,it is so hard to quit.
well, cannabis grows from our earths soil so it is organic but the people that smoke it have chosen to smoke weed so it should be legal but restricted amounts should be smoked.
I think cannabis should be legalised but illegalized for different reasons
it should be legalised because it helps people around the world to make money and if people have already started they would find it hard to stop.
But it should be legalised for other reasons because it effects people around the globe and it makes people fell sad or lonely, see things they don’t see and also makes people in their own little world.
bye!
:O :O :O :O
I was also in the group that made the debate!!
i think cannabis should be illeagal because it makes people go crazy and if cannabis is illeagal then the dealers loose money that means the level of drug dealers will fall and drugs will become rarer and more expensive so nobody would buy them.
