Rejected petition Finally make cannabis legal
I personally have been smoking for over 4 years and with a lot of speculations going on considering that it's a gateway drug and a stepping stone to other drugs; I can happily tell you that it all depends on the character of the person, I have never gone any further than cannabis and never will.
More details
I want you to imagine this scenario,in front of you there are 2 people.1 Convicted of rape and the other who has sold a bit of weed.Who is more more likely to be punished, I know the what your thinking right now and it's wrong; at least in the eyes of law.Dealing is more punishable than rape even if selling weed requires consent from both parties, unlike rape.
More and more countries are legalising weed as it's not only lowering the crime rate but also boosting the economy,we can be the same!
