Yes - needs to be legalised to enable monitoring and control which will neuter the crime attached to its use and production.
Some years ago I had to stop all pain and biological medication for an existing excruciating condition to have surgery. Friends of my AC were horrified at the change in my mobility and stamina and turned up with some weed - NOT skunk - to help. I used it for three months to enable me to manage the surgery.
I 'fessed up to my various doctors and consultants and two cheered and the most senior said that he wished more of his patients had access.
If the UK did regulate its use for both medical and recreational purposes, the tax dollars could shore up the NHS.
Regulating it does make a huge difference.
Agree.
My DGD has cannabis derivatives as part of her essential life support use: not pain, but its approved of for a number of epilepsy patients and MS patients. its very limited indeed who can get it atm.
it clearly can be effective not just with pain. More studies needed?
For general use: It should be legalised and controlled so's to weed out the skunk. I do believe that by doing this you can at least partially remove the link between cannabis use and hard drugs.
As regards MH conditions there is no doubt that it's use can induce paranoia and other psychotic conditions. I've seen it in action.
However as far as I know there has not been a study certainly not in the UK which measures something useful such as very limited use of top quality stuff amongst people with MH conditions like extreme anxiety where there is no psychosis.
Personally the "good stuff" did little for me in the 70's - it seemed boring to sit in a room with people lying around going, "oh man, thats amazing stuff"with Pink Floyd in the background.
