Watched it last night and agree 100% with what Dr Who has to say above, it was alot less one sided than i thought it was going to be, and apart from the standard tory ass lickers who are all like sheep and scared to stray from the flock most of the guests and test subjects were pretty open minded and sensible about what was said.
As for the copper and the judge mentioned above what a great arguments for criminalization, yeah all the kids on estates are selling it, well yeah you fucktard of course they are, because you have forced it underground and made it a black market business, something regualation and legalization would take out the hands of kids dealing, smugglers and organized crime networks, ask either them to show any evidence that legalization would increase the illegal trade and there is no chance that they could, as it has been proved in the past in the US with prohabition, that with the correct regualation the illegal black market trade can in a very short time be shutdown and be under full control, how big a business is the bootlegging of alcohol now compared to the 1920s and how often to you hear now of violent crimes linked to the distibution of alcohol by crime syndicates compared to back then, if thats the biggest arguments they have got then what a joke.
As for the poor kid who was the argument for the fact cannabis/skunk/hash/pot or whatever they feel like branding it is the cause of psychosis, i like the way they failed to mention that he most likely already have some underlying undiagnosed mental illness that was bought on by his use of cannabis, as in most cases of psychosis bought on by cannabis use, at the end of the day is the same as saying watching violent movies or playing video games is going to make you pick a gun and go on a killing spree, no it is not in 99% of cases and when it happens that 1% of the time the catyalyst is a undiagnosed mentally unstable individual and not what they are participating in that will cause it. Shame the only person to start to touch this was the ex dealer guest on the show and even then they did not expand much on it.
The stars of the show had to be the ex undercover copper with the giggles and the fantastic comment of i felt pretty good or something along those lines, respect to the guy and the first police officer who made me smile. Then good old Richard Branson i always quite liked the guy and respect him more now and think he could be a great weapon in the call for legalization in the UK.
Well damn that turned into quite a rant, sorry about that, at least now it is down in black and white before my skunk ridden brain presses that delete button and i forget all about it lol.
