Dagga boy wins his case

I still don't get it. What 'supposed side benefits' are you talking about? And what issues are being ignored?

It is the same old argument, ignoring any real benefits and highlighting the supposed side issues to justify prohibition.

you know full well the side benefits, the medical uses claimed and by products etc. the issues of social, developmental and criminal aspects are being ignored. the further issues of legal distribution are also waved away.

i see what you did there you

Good to know that D3x! doesn't buy any consumer goods. They wouldn't want to do anything they couldn't do without affecting anyone, nor the effects of the supply chain etc harming people.

Don't forget hugely exaggerating the harms. Not to mention treating the harms that come directly from prohibition itself as though they are inherently related to the drugs or the trade therein.

It's the way you put it, you've decided the benefits are not real, which is why you say 'supposed', when there is plenty of research to support these benefits. There is no 'supposed' involved, they are real benefits. You also call them 'side' benefits - I'm not sure what that means. If someone uses cannabis for pain relief (for example) , this is it's purpose. There is nothing 'side' about it. You also claim these 'supposed' benefits are an excuse to 'justify' using it. However it doesn't need to be justified. People use it because they experience real benefits from it, no other justification is required.

As for the issues you bring up, they are not being ignored, it's just that there is disagreement as to how to deal with these issues. It makes sense to a lot of people, including me, that ending prohibition, introducing proper legislation and making cannabis controlled but easily available is the first step in dealing with these issues sensibly.

i do not disagree that there are potential uses for it medically and for by-products, but using it as an excuse to legalise recreational use is just a cover, that is my point.

Well they are different issues, I agree. However, recreational use can also be beneficial to the user and ending prohibition would be beneficial to society. If people are using medical benefits as an excuse for recreational use then they are misguided and possibly unaware that such an excuse is unnecessary, recreational use can be beneficial in it's own right. The law and courts are conservative, however, and so focusing on hemp and medical cannabis alone may be a first step towards full legalisation
