I think the down side to the herb is the addiction it results to. There's no doubt about its medicinal potency, but the problem has always been the issue of addiction by those who actually take it.
Even if it is somehow enhanced to form legally administered tablets, addicts would still find a way to abuse it. There's just something about marijuana.

Ain't people addicted to alcohol? The thing is once it is legitimised, the demand would drop. Many are smoking it today on Nigeria because of its exclusive nature.

Ahh yes Mr green run, I enjoyed your original comment, the fact that something is illegal actually makes it a prime target for underground trading, smuggling and trading.

There is something about breaking rules that humans love to do, not to mention that because something is illegal, prices actually go up, making it a prime target for those liking for quick cash(criminals)

In my opinion, decriminalization of weed will actually help in **bringing down the number of smokers** . 

Decriminalization also means that an addict doesn't have to suffer in the dark, he can easily be identified and helped, it means that the government can control the quality and quantity circulating the country, it means that poorly or highly toxic strains can be removed, thereby leaving the good strains.

It means the medical benefits can finally be explored fully.

Seems you too have done research on this Mr green run :D

No research done, just typed straight from my head. It is logically we seek that thing that is hidden. Little wonder we crave things we can't have. Keep steeming. Thanks

Actually sir Rickie, addiction to weed is far far lower than what people think.

I did speak about the problem of abuse, as humans tend to do.

There is something about it, I actually studied what it does to the Brain, since I am a chem guru.

But that's for another post.
