    YOUR VIEWS: What do you think about legalising marijuana's consumption? Today the Constitutional Court of South Africa has ruled that it is legal for adults to smoke dagga at home, but several government ministers are against it ➡️ https://bbc.in/2NjfvEE pic.twitter.com/cx8Cy8Dz0h

        Legalize it already. It's healthy in small doses and it's good for the economy. The whole world should follow this example. Also, it ruins the business for illegal dealers which lowers crime. In the US, marijuana laws are used as racial oppression and stigmatization anyway.

        I wonder if cabbage and chicken are also linked to mental health issues.... 🤔

        Haha I’ll give you that young abuses of super strength strains with a natural disposition can have that affect, but that’s where Chicken and Cabbage regulation come in. If you get either from a shady dealer you get health consequences too. Are you against Alcohol btw?

        I also don’t like the prospect of a “contact high” especially for young children. The smell alone gives me a headache. Regarding alcohol, I don’t support the drinks industry and don’t drink myself. Just b/c one harmful thing is legal is not a good argument to make another legal

        Yeah agree should clearly not be smoking or taking recreational drugs whilst in charge of a child. I agree but it also comes down to that nearly everything is harmful so where is the line draw? Personal choice is where I do.

        Not a good idea, but south Africa is 90% drugs, even little ones do drugs, though illegal but it happens, ppl just go in cars and smoke aslong as it's not public, I call it legal ironically
