If cannabis was legalised, at least the tax would hopefully go towards the huge numbers of lung cancer treatments it causes and puts the NHS under extra strain for and if available in oils, edibles etc it would help out a ton of people living with the many health issues it has proven to relieve the pain of.


Sadly, no matter what the government, I can't ever see it being legalised in the UK, which is a shame imho.


Regarding those canisters, unfortunately I see them all over the place in ED, regularly on our street too and it's something that is obviously getting worse and worse.

I reckon many places, including the U.K., will watch Canada carefully over the coming years to see how it affects them. Big tobacco is keen for legalisation as revenue in the West is dropping precipitously and they see legalised weed as a good way to make money.


I don?t think it?ll happen any time soon, by any stretch, but if Canada makes a success of it (which is far from a given in my view) then I think many nations will see an increase in lobbying for legalisation.

I'd suggest that as Canada is not only closer to us in population size but also in terms of legislature and legal system, and has introduced a nationwide legalization, its model might well be of more validity in predicting what might happen in the UK than the USA model.

Cocaine and amphetamine is massive too- and has been for at least half a century......

Surely it would be more relevant to give the police the registration number? What would be the point of posting it on here? Have I missed something?

I'm afraid I don't really understand this. Can you please spell out the details more fully.

To what end?

That's name and shame effectively.

None. It is a very safe. I don't think it's possible to prevent yourself prom breathing, unless you use a noose or a belt.

    • what sort of bike are you looking for - men's , ladies, size. commuter, mountain or racer etc etc. And what is your budget?
    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
