        It is great in the sense that this should not be illegal in the first place. And, most important, people will stop getting criminal records for simple possession of marijuana products. They are even re-opening past criminal charges to give pardons.

          Why? Should it not be classified a drug?

              I guess the only good thing about that is that maybe all the UK potheads will emigrate and stop their anti-social thieving here.

                If you classify it as a drug but then make it legal you have to then categorize each drug as either illegal or legal. If you just make all drugs illegal, it makes the distinction easier. And I'm not talking about medical drugs, although maybe we should because some of the medical ones are worse than what you can get in an alley. Anything that disrupts your ability to reason and think should be something you stay away from, legal or not.

                    You're not taking my (prescription) pain-killers. I prefer to reason little over no reasoning at all and falling out with everyone I meet.

                      I've had this discussion many times and I'm not sure why it keeps coming up. No doubt there are some religions that tell you to believe it or else, so to speak. However, my experience with Christianity is the complete opposite. Even Christ himself said if anyone wants to know if what he teaches is true, try it. Test it. That CLEARLY is not taking away your ability to reason, but on the contrary, it ENCOURAGES thought and reasoning. Contrast that with public schools where you are taught to not question what the teacher says. It's so ironic that many of you use this "indoctrination" argument against religion when you yourselves have indoctrinated your own children by sending them to public school. Come with me to Church on Sunday and you'll see it is nothing like you think it is. So, why do you think religion takes away your ability to think?

                                        Of course it is in the mind; it is an electrical impulse which causes a biological reaction. The same biological reaction as when eating spicy food.

                                          Try giving your own explanation for an open ended question on a test. If it does not match what they want, too bad.
