we don't have the freedom coz if I got caught growing or smoking weed I would get a criminal record and id lose my job,id like for a party like clear to get a few seats,why cant we as adults have the right to choose to smoke weed if we want without the risk of a criminal record if caught?, the government say that there is no medical properties in cannabis but dr's worldwide prove that claim to be wrong also our government lets gw pharmaceutical co grow 100 tons of weed a year so they can sell their patented drugs like sativex,remember weed is a plant and cant be patented so anyone can grow it and sell for medicine if it was legal,this is one of the reasons I think it stays illegal even though if the government done some research they would find if they taxed £1 on every gram of weed they could potentially earn £6 billion a year and it would provide many jobs,the government could also use some of our greenbelt land for growing cannabis on a mass scale and provide us energy and give us cheaper bills,but no-one listens to us weedsmokers as they think we are druggie wasters but fair play to Richard branson as he steped up and said weed should be legal,we need more famous people to do same
