Now that tobacco is effectively illegal in public places (except when there is clear sky above you i.e. no roof ) does anyone in their right mind think that the government is actually going to overturn an existing law and legalise weed .... not a fu"*in chance . We needed tobacco out in the open to use as a yardstick to point out the relative harmlessness of MJ in comparison to tobacco.I also think that some of you are missing the point ,no one is actually bigging up cigs it,s the freedom of choice that,s being fought for,anyway i could go on for ages about the civil liberty issues but i'll be going over things i've posted before.One last point,my grandfather survived the D-day landings and since my grandmother died does not have much of a life apart from going to his local working mens club 3 times a week for a few pints and cigs, as of July 1st this will no longer be possible due to the ban and to think this gentleman put his life on the line in the name of democracy.
