Thanks for that, Sociable. I do accept that under certain conditions the substances I listed could, in the right doses, have their medicinal uses but would only take them if I personally needed them medically as a last resort.
I accept too that for medical reasons Cannabis has its valid uses e.g. pain relief and that's why I would prefer that like all other medications it is available on the NHS on a controlled basis via prescription.I just don't want to see it widely available and see yet another group of otherwise healthy people turn themselves into addicts like those with a dependency on alcohol, tobacco and/or illegal drugs.But I do accept that with all these things, the degree of usage makes a difference.
And I do respect their right to choose so long as it does not adversely affect me or others who share my views.
