Friday, February 3, 2012 at 01:13 AMPerhaps we need a referendum here in northern Ireland weather or not to regulate cannabis use. As it stands prohibition actually causes the gateway effect. ie when the dealers don't have cannabis but they have cocaine or heroine. I smoke cannabis for medicinal reasons, every day.

Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 03:44 AMThe biggest cannabis factory in the world is in the south of England it is run by G,W pharma and it sells its own mix of super skunk to the N,H,S and the rest of the world it does this with a licence from the government who use the police to enforce their monopoly on this non toxic harmless plant instead we are giving the criminals in our society free run to make the dirtiest version of this drug possible and letting them sell to anyone with the money to buy no matter what age they might be. our politicians do not know the difference between crack and weed so what hope do we have when the press wont even question the failed status quo. please ask questions when you run a story like this and who knows we might even deal with this problem and with the new sentencing guidelines out this week he will only get a caution so is it really worth the expensive time of the police to hunt cannabis users any more?

Consenting adults will buy their Cannabis fair and square in a shop, paying tax on it and the growers fairly employed and not exploited. Black market dealers will be a thing of the past, as will the sale of Cannabis to youngsters by those black marketeers.
