Thread: The Cannabias Flashcard - Research

    Default The Cannabias Flashcard - Research

    Hi there peeps,

    Every Cannabis lover has experienced in his or her life a moment of horror at someone talking complete bollocks about our favourite plant. It causes psychosis, it's a gateway drug etc...

    Well here's the place to list them. Please list as briefly as possible every argument you have every heard IN FAVOUR of prohibition or AGAINST our beloved Cannabis.

    I'm hoping to create a flashcard that all Cannabis activists can use in debates or as required. We've all heard the arguments against Pot, now let's document them and sit the answers next to them.

    I thank you in advance,

    Dirk Gently

    Brilliant idea Dirk! Love the idea.

    Some of the political arguments I've gone over AGAINST regulation and in favour of the status quo:

    • The black-market. No point in sorting this out as we'll have a black-market

    • Profiteers will find something else to exploit so no point in regulation (you'd think this would be the same as the above excuse, but you often see them written together but in differing points believe it or not)

    • It'll send the children the wrong message



    I'll keep thinking. Love the idea!

    Really? That's an argument AGAINST?? It's going to be like shooting fish in a barrel...

    Ah, right. It sorted it's formatting out - I get it now!

    I think we have some work to do mate!

    I don't know what kind of layout your thinking, perhaps something like:
    Health Effect
    - No Recorded Deaths From Cannabis
    -Psychosis linked with strong strains. We can't chose how strong the stuff that we buy is.
    -Black Market drugs can have anything in them. Regulated drugs would be clean, minimising health risks.
    -Paranoia stems from the illegal status of the plant
    -Compare to alcohol & tobacco, no deaths, no violence even evidence to suggest you are more aware when stoned than not.
    -Not addictive, addiction comes through the tobacco it is smoked with

    Economical Effect

    Crime Effect



    Im gonna come back and add to this, but i got to go make pancakes now!!! Rock n roll..... Is this the kind of thing your thinking or am I way off?

    Whoa slow down there cowboy!

    Initially I just want to focus solely on the other side's arguments against Cannabis so if you can pass on what you've heard that'd be ace. Couple of good suggestions there. Thanks!

    More of a problem with the law than the plant but thanks for the suggestion. This one will be kept for later on the arguments for.

    "We can't 'legalise' as we won't be able to legislate for driving and operating under the influence"
