I'm an Australian that has gone to court twice for marijuana use, once in the 80's and another in the 90's for personal use cultivation. These are the only 2 crimes I've ever committed, but I now have a criminal record. While I was in court another person had a court case charged with assault, he punched someone in the face 3 times, the victim had to go to hospital, but he got a good behavior bond , which means after a certain period it comes off your criminal record. I got a criminal record (a conviction) and had to pay a large fine for growing 3 plants in my backyard. My neighbors had got robbed and the police just happened to look over their fence when they were investigating the robbery and saw my plants. BTW there were several court cases that day just for marijuana use or possession. It's such a waste of the legal system resources.

Not only for your average smoker that just wants to get high it’s also great for people with many medical conditions which was one of the big reasons big pharma initially pushed to have it criminalized.

I smoked for over 25 yrs and quit 3 yrs ago. I thought I never would quit, but I got tired of placing a bandaid over my own mental health issues. Not to mention being singled out as the stoner in the family. It's not a good look if you have career goals. It is definitely more accepted now than in the 90s when I started, but if you want a high paying job that you operate heavy equipment, or anything safety related quitting is best.

I've been living in Thailand for a long time and I think this is a good idea. Nobody should be locked up for smoking marijuana, it's not 100% harmless but it stacks up far better than any other, including the legal ones.

Smoking cannabis is deadly I was smoking it for over a decade or two despite the good feeling it gives, I was always tired or fatigue. I love the scent for ever but nobody is ever going to make me smoke ever and that's from my experience. Maybe it can be consumed in other ways rather than smoking it. It's harmful but many love it. I was surprised when i saw this video and I just smiled. Hope everyone realises how smoking any intoxicant is really a bad thing for the human body. Thanks for this video

Once you allow it in free market they cannot drive up and create value any longer. So yes, decriminalization is the way if you do not want a profit driven society.

My first time growing cannabis for myself was a hit. I had two plants. I think they both Hermes on me but if you know you know. Nothing wrong with a hermie plant at all. Had enough to last me months when it was all said and done. Also growing cannabis isn’t like growing corn or wheat. You have to really micromanage the process. Always check the plants for signs of stress. Make sure the water you’re giving it is ph appropriate. And the soil has to have enough nutrients to last the grow (especially outside where there are more variables vs inside where you make sure you get a good soil and put the nutrients in the water you’re feeding it). Investing in greenhouse infrastructure may be the way to help farmers switch from one crop to this one.

I see a trip to Thailand in the future for me!

I am Australian, I had a friend who had University degrees and studied so hard to get them, they had been working in their career choice for years earning great money and one day on a day off decided to smoke weed, they were pulled over, drug tested, charged and then lost their job for having a criminal record. They felt so disgraced that they ended up committing suicide because of one joint ruining everything they had worked for. Rules here are way to strict ruining people's lives, on one hand it would be good to see the rules changed but on the other hand I will be angry because It'd be to late to save a friend. I have smoked weed once, didn't really like the effect personally but I can see the benefits it has on people. I am 34 yo and have never understood why it's illegal, if it's because it's hard to regulate/hard for governments to make money/tax from it then okay but if it's because it's "dangerous" then why is smoking cigarettes not illegal considering it kills more people and is also just a plant.

I can't wait for the day when weed is legalized here in Finland, so I can get a better sense of the spectrum and find the strains that might possibly increase my prodictivity.

It's honestly shocking that Australia has yet to get with the program. I grew up in California and weed was always around and available when I was young, then in 1992 (I think) a permissive medial law was passed which allowed basically anyone to get a medical card and purchase it legally. Then came full recreational legalization. Through all of that nothing negative has happened at all, criminalization is literally just the government pointlessly enforcing their power and punishing innocent people. Your friend was a victim of the state and the infuriating thing is that it was so, so unnecessary. Just let people live ffs

The days when the ABC could be trusted to at least make an effort to maintain ethical reporting standards are long gone. We know MSM all too often has an agenda, pushing a prescribed narrative that betrays a bias. Recognising the bias in framing is very informative. It can tell us whose interests the piece serves, and goes some of the way to identifying motivations. Having said that, one must also apply the same rigour to their own assumptions and narratives. It's not enough to throw the baby out with the bath water and conclude that just because there is a preponderance of crap media, that all media is therefore crap (edit: not saying that applies to you specifically). That generalised approach is lazy and invariably results in self-deception and exploitation.

The whole world needs to legalise it. The real reason it is illegal is largely due to the alcohol industry lobbiest putting pressure on governments to keep the status quo intact, which greatly benefits the alcohol industry and government taxes, but has an enourmous detrimental effect on societies, communities, families and individuals. I live in the UK, our government is around 20-30yrs behind the rest of the world unfortunately, which results in high prices for the end users, but everyone smokes all the same. It's a joke and governments need to stop dictating peoples freedoms and how they choose to live their lives.
