General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

No, it shouldn't be legalised for recreational use because, if it is harder to get, users will just go on to something worse in order to get a fix. Also, many people will feign illness just to get it for free when there's nothing wrong with them, which probably already happens anyway.

The Police now have the facility to test drivers for drug abuse, like they do with alcohol, by testing for marijuana and cocaine at the roadside by means of a mouth swipe test.

It's a fact that marijuana stays in the blood stream for anything up to and including 72 hours so, anyone using, could be arrested for drug driving, and that includes people who are given that drug for medicinal purposes.

Personally I've never tried it, nor would I want to, but I do believe it affects the brain during its use, and turns their brains into mush.
