- Should Countries Legalise Marijuana? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The United States has proposed a historic law to reclassify marijuana as a low-risk drug. This won't make the drug legal but fewer people will be arrested for possessing it. This comes as some US states have legalised marijuana for recreational use. Which brings us the age-old debate on marijuana - should it be legalised? Is it good or bad for you? What does science say? Why are some countries legalising the drug? Are they genuinely following scientific advice or are they just riding the high of making money off it? Palki Sharma tells you.

Yes please legalise it, our rank in the happiness index will significantly increase..
In a good society - hell no, it shouldn't be. Only low people with low standards support it. That said, maybe just like with alcohol - the imperfect society might benefit from it.
Would I want my children near it? Heeeeeell no.
Fr dude
😂😂😂😂
I believe it was declared !llegal because it would have interfered with other businesses like Cigarettes and alcohol (which the govt. make huge money out of)
@@NAME-sl2ms This logic is flawed, because the money that govt makes in cigarette, guthkas etc, they spend more on subsidised medical treatment for the people effected by such harmful substances..
From my understanding Atharva Veda mentions cannabis as one of the five most sacred plants on Earth and refers to it as a “Freedom for Distress” or a “joy-giver”. Cannabis was used as medicine, in ancient medical system. I think, specially for fixing mental and pain related issues.
Yes but most of the people don't have self control that's the real problem.
@@sivakamit2575bullshit what bout alcohol and tobacco?
@@sacredflames07 bullshit?
10-20% get addicted and abuse it, and the side-effects of getting addicted to it is extremely bad for the society as a whole

One of my uncles living in my village has been using this marijuana since I was 10 years old and now I 'm 42 he's still a fit and hardworking person and lives a happy life .
it should be legal. otherwise why alcohol and tobacco is legal. are they more healthy?
🤑
Because it goes against Pharma, they know Pharma don’t work so if the legalise it, its controlled opposition equals more money.
No, that’s why
It will also be a huge boost to the Indian economy, hemp products, marijuana, medicinal purposes
Hemp products are the answer. You can make almost anything with it. It grows amazingly fast, and is sterile.
We could save so many trees if we made paper products from it.
I don't understand why we don't utilize it more..it is natural, and biodegradable. 🤔
@@jackyflowers3493 Hemp plastic. Biodegradable.
India not ready for that right now. Your still industrializing. There still a lot areas in India where people can grow illegal crops. You don't want that problem on your hand right now.
Of course it should be legal .
Go away
Marijuana is lots of ayurvedic benifits & used in himalayan regions very commonly
It should be legalised in India. Bum Bhole Nath. Also we shouldn’t be hypocritical, it’s not that cigarettes and alcohol are less harmful but are legal.
It should be legal in India… it was legal until the US forced India to ban it in the mid 80s.. gladly they were not aware of bhang.
Alcohol has direct correlation with cancer , so if consumers can choose to drink it , they should also have the right to smoke marijuana. I am Indo Canadian, I have a terrific career and I smoke weed 😅, the sativa kind
Update: people should know the harm from marijuana as well. If people regularly smoke marijuana prior to turning 18 years,it can have affect one’s brain negatively, there is science to back this up. And too much of anything is not good.
No, India did not want to be a drug Kingpin in Asia. India has enough problems. But you legalize it the illegal trade will take off. Indian criminal gangs will export their weed all over world and violence will come with that.
Yani weed banday ka damage khrab kr designed ha ?
Man made beer, God made weed so in God we trust 🙌
😂😂😂😂 facts
Very nicely represented and delivered..masterclass news channel
YES
Its for a false agenda They're trying to get you to open the gate way for demonic possession. Shiva is the demon of cannabis and dreadlocks. You don't know what's going to be in that stuff once they make it legal. A girl already killed her boyfriend from just weed she stabbed them over a hundred times and herself.
Legalizing marijuana will avoid lots of police abuse and corruption especially in South Indian states.
This illegal policy is just giving police people an advantage to blackmail vulnerable users and loot lakhs of money from them.
The police will just put cocaine on on persons instead
For now I think you need to keep it illegal. Your having major problems and you don't want to add legal drug use. Because if that happens India has lot areas that it cannot police affectively. You may see India become a major export of Marijuana and that something you don't want.
@@HellBot-gi5si is there something wrong with you? exporting it will only boost Indias economy. Do you even understand the substance? It doesnt make anyone violent. Its not like alcohol that leads to domestic violence, bar fights, rapes and unwanted pregnancies. I think you should just keep yourself out of this discussion untill you fully understand the substance.
My long time dream of this getting legalised in India again. Till 1985 it was legal in India.
Yes! By all means! It's high time!
Typing this rolling 1 ...its High time
In South africa It is legal to possess cannabis, including seeds, for personal adult use. It is also legal to grow your own cannabis. Although the amounts that constitute personal use are yet to be defined. And all trade of any part of the plant remains strictly prohibited.
And domestic violences has increased rapidly, including cash in transit
Cannabis is serving the demon Shiva. A woman in America just stabbed her boyfriend over 100 times and herself. And all she had in her system was cannabis! You can't be free serving false gods. You can only be free serving the one true living God.
@@orbitno100that has nothing to do with weed use! 🤣
@@orbitno100 lies
I think it's insane that this is still a debate. A simple and honest cost/benefit analysis gives you the answer. Outlawing it has caused more harm than the plant ever could, and hundreds of billions wasted.
No, by outlawing your trying not to become a drug kingpins haven for growing and exporting Marijuana. Please remember you have a lot of Indian farmers you don't want to let the evil spirit out of the box.
@@HellBot-gi5si Lol. gotta watch those evil spirits hell bot....
@@theobserver9131 Dude, let me explain something to you because you seem kind a naive. When you open yourself up to "global commerce" the good comes with bad. You just signed a deal for the Chabahar port what you don't understand is that Afghanistan number 1# export is "Heroin". Right now Iran has the most "Heroin addicts" by number and percentage in world.
@@theobserver9131 In America before NAFTA, illegal drugs with Mexico was a major problem it was about $20 billion dollar per year. After NAFTA America was importing about $90 billion dollars worth cocaine alone, through the Mexican border during the 1990's. That how bad the problem was.
Legal or illegal cannabis has always been around. In North America cannabis was legalized on state level but remained a crime moving it across state lines, but that did not hinder too many people just like when it was illegal. In the last 6 years cannabis went through what was the equivalent of tulipmania, prices skyrocketed, small town dealers became overnight miljonairs but when the dust was settled the bankruptcies soared. Memories of boom bust echo, now you can get cannabis at one tenth of the price as before legalization.
Here in South Africa it was legalized few years ago
Possessing and using cannabis was NEVER A CRIME TO BEGIN WITH. All rights are inherent at birth and every single human being on planet Earth, from the moment of birth, has the right to do ANYTHING they want with the one and only caveat being that you cannot cause harm and/or intend to cause harm to another person/property thru negligence and/or deliberate intent. And the fact that the collective authority of a group cannot exceed the authority of any individual in that group means that just cuz 51% of the people in a legislative body decide to make something illegal on the grounds that the reason they are making it illegal is "because someone doesn't like it" DOES NOT make that statute, code, or ordinance legally binding upon those who do not consent that it be binding upon them. The government doesn't have authority to regulate the private, non-commercial activity of the general public, PERIOD!
Nobody talks how this will make farmers rich. It's weed. Weed grows anywhere and everywhere. Just imagine the creation of a billion dollar industry where India becomes the biggest exporter.
This will also put an end to adulterated weed supply in India right now
Legalizing it will make certain things better
1. Better quality products that are actually controlled and accounted for.
2. Taxes, will help with general development.
3. Crime will go down, unwanted and petty arrests will reduce and help with prison and courts issues which countries like India already do.
The biggest issue is the taboo, usage of ganja was not uncommon till the western countries forced rest of us to ban it. It was pretty much left alone in India till 1980's. And the irony is, now western countries are the first ones to legalize and promote its use. The only issue with India is a good chunk of its population might end up misusing it. Given the mental state of people in this country with lack of jobs and good quality education, people will end up using it to curb their depression which will make them unfit.
Like Alcoholics, a pot head will try to search for pot in many ways. This population of pot heads includes jobless people to CEO's of companies. This is a leisurely drug that should either be consumed recreationally or under medical advise.
Hope Indian govt doea something good with this issue, because there is some real bad quality weed out here. 😂
Absolutely yes! Should be legalized! It’s a shame label 🏷️ some adults a criminal for a plant that is popular use for low risk side effects of overdose or addiction vs prescribed medication from a physician
legalize it
Very good
The people have spoken. . .its super obvious that it totally should be
I grow a couple of plants in my backyard in Canada. No more big phama anti pain drugs for my 70 year old body. Been smoking weed for 40 years, still here. Also drink less alcohol. I understand why drug corporations , distilliers, hells angels, all lobbied to keep it illegal. Like all things, it's all about the money.
What, even Hells Angels? We see who their masters are
Yap 45% alcohol content drinks, medical drugs are legal...but not weed?
Every country should legalize cannabis, just like Canada 🇨🇦.
- It's not even a "drug."
If "Chinese medicine" is allowed, so should cannabis.
No
Salute 🫡 sir
Can't even afford to hire people to mass post comments about China for you?
Yes, Marijuana should be legalized.
Can we put recreational purposes aside and allow it for medicine already, globally. people from all walks of life will Benefit...children suffering from major diseases like epilepsy and cancer..think about them first ❤
People will never stop smoking weed so legalize
😒 why do people debate this even now it should be legal everywhere

Weed is just a herb 🌿
It's time just legalize it.
If cigarettes and Alcohol can be legal.
Cannabis for sure has to be legal.
There isn't any drawbacks that comes close to cigarettes and alcohol.
ITC(Indian Tobacco Company) will surely try again to stop it as they have done in 1980 during Rajiv Gandhi rule.
You can't even compare a plant to evil neuro toxic chemicals loaded tobbaco and alcohol
Hi, US citizen here, Weed has been legal in many states for half a decade now including mine. I have a medical card to help treat my insane migraines and it helps a lot. More and more states are legalizing it as they should. But we must be careful because if you are using it to escape depression you could create a deeper hole. I see a few comments here talking about how weed in India was forcefully banned by the US. I’m not sure if that’s true or how that would evens work because the US never controlled India the British did but I may just be ignorant. If it turns out that it’s true I’d like to say on behalf on my country men we are sorry such a thing happened and I hope that one day you can reclaim your traditions of consuming this product. 🇮🇳 ❤️ 🇺🇸
Why should the GOVERNMENT decide?
I’m not smoking until I’m allowed to grow it at home.
Do what you want in your home. Just don't tell anybody.
@@alrent2992 take your ears away from me.
Lots of people don’t visit India because it’s illegal there and if they don’t have weed they can trust for example from Canada, they have panic attacks without it.
No, India what will happen is that your nations will start growing Marijuana and exporting it. But you start doing that so will the violence. That's what you are trying to avoid. That's why for now you should keep it illegal.
Yes yes its the healing of the nation
It's just a few that wants to get in the way of others
Yes. Then the consumer, and the retailers can use cards, and not have to use cash. That is what the problem is. They have to take in cash, only. And, take cash to the banks. Electronic transactions would stop a lot of crime, and theft.
Stop the reefer madness b.s.
It is very medicinal. An effective, natural, medication.
Thank you 👍🏻
Itshouldbelegalisedandthetaxmoneywhichwouldbehumongousshouldbeusedforsocialsecurityforthepoor
That's the wrong question. The real question is; Should it have ever been criminalized? No.
Thanks to the logging industry in the United States feeling threatened, ABSURD!
@@isaac.anthony It's far more sinister. We have documented proof, the reason weed was criminalized in the US, is to target minorities and keep whites on top.
Does Palki use it?
Liquor lobby in kerala will sit in road side and start begging ..legalise d herb.. save d future of youth…..synthetic drugs are bad…..stop lobbying
It's ABSURD that the USA made it "illegal" in the first place. Cannabis is MUCH less destructive than alcohol, so why do we allow one and not the other? Because of the logging industry $$$
It's illegal in 180 countries on earth including Russia and China and Japan. It's absurd or it's their right to legislate as they want in their own country?
I was buying marijuana legally in CA in the 90s.
On November 8, 2016, Proposition 64 - the Adult Use of Marijuana Act - passed by a 57% to 43% vote, legalizing the use, sale, and cultivation of recreational cannabis in California for adults 21 and over.
Riding the High... I love your Scripting
Thank you for 218 family keep supporting keep supporting guyz❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good Medicine
Forward to PMO India
Yes otherwise Many young people who smoke are smoking the worst quality one which is very bad for health.
If legalize people can smoke in more healthy Manner.
It is already legal at over half of the states... if you're over 21, you can walk into the dispensary and purchase as if you would alcohol.
But ciggerates with 100% cancer agent is legal ???
In childhood I made lot of money 🤑 from selling this in absence of my grandfather.
I do not understand meaning. US government and those who own the US government can use it. However, use by citizens is prohibited.
I thought legalisation was a good idea until marijuana got me very sick with hyperemesis. Never again. So now I think legaisation was a big mistake.
Yes please
Jay Shiva Samvoo America🎉
Am I hearing Carolina Goswami's just voice after Palki madam's voice?
too much right wing video suggestions eh!
Oh J is silent in Marijuana I didn't know it😂
Is toooooooo Good
Of course I will take a few puffs in honor of the subject.
Ideally, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products should be banned unless for medicinal purpose. Same thing should happen for hemp, should be highly regulated. Those stuffs are subject to abuse eversince so putting tight control would be reasonable.
Yes
It's high time that America stops being a bully and lifts off every restrictions it has put on this plant all over the globe.
Wow. America put restrictions on the use of marijuana in Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Nigeria, Poland, Mexico, Malaysia, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore etc...
America is God.
Legalize that shit
Ganja was and should always be a part of Bharat’s culture.
Weather it be money or scientific reason it’s no harm to society. Potential harm is when people don’t consume it.
Many are suffering with alcohol and tobacco again this is not required
The hash from the plant
Legal or not it’s too late. The people who use it are going to with or without legalization.
Legalize and regulate the age bar
It’s just weed people need to chill
In South Africa 🇿🇦 Marijuana is legal
First enforce legal age to buy alcohol in India. Then we can discuss marijuana.
Do the non-users have to choice of not suffering the stench?
Make legal but illegal for public consumption on the streets. Just like public intoxication is illegal. Im pro legalization but it shouldnt be smoked in public.

Say indian government Legalise weed palki they will listen to you
I thought ppl putting them in cookies ,, lol not smoking
Its about time!!!!
I was also a stoner who strongly believe weed should be legal.
But now, i believe it is a drug harmful to our mind.
Yes, some people can handle it, it makes them creative and more product full, but this reasoning is limited only to some few percentage of people.
For most people, this is the welcome gate to more harmful drug journey.
But the reason why I think weed is harmful is because it makes majority of the people dumb and stupid. It causes them to be less active in their social life and also makes them more dependent on the substance.
Like every medicine and drug, it also have it's side effects.
So if weed should be legalize, coke should also be legalize.
Because cigarette, weed, alcohol and all kinds of recreational drugs have one thing in common, they are addictive and can seriously disorient our thoughts and mind if we are not careful with it.
This is just my thoughts so forgive me if I am wrong,
But I now believe that if we are facing problems in life, we should face it head on instead of depending on this substances.
Coz you only live once and i believe that if we want to live life to the fullest, we should accept our failures, struggles, situations, trauma, dis-satisfaction, unfairness to our life, injustice and so on.
Accept yourself and try to get out of bad situation with a sound mind.
Sorry for my bad English.
Let's win and overcome ourselves.
Let's be the master of our life.
You just did way too much of it, is all. Drinking heavy aint no good either.
Nonsense 🤣👎🏻
Mrijuana is just for cure not for prevention, and they say prevention is better than cure.😊
To gain voters legalize marijuana
it’s a plant what was made on our planet for a reason for medical uses and practices throughout the evolution
100% legalise it.
These should not be legalized as I do see the downside of it in canada , btw I am an Indian and I do not like consuming any kind of drug including alchohol . So a big no as there are cannabis stores across schools and also I see kids consume it within school
100% legal to use and grow. It should stay out of the work place but what you do in your own time shouldn’t affect your ability to have a job.
I been smoking 24 years every day I am 38 now and I feel good and healthy!
If this happens in India, there will be a downfall of liquor industry for sure. Liquor industry has unimaginable source to generate tax in India. I don't think India will legalize this weed.
No debates about affordable quality healthcare or education. These usa politicians are so misleading
Marijuana is not a drug it’s cannabis
No need😢
Yes 100%
Being from Manali i think it's high effin time !!!
Nope!
They legalize everything accept the stuff that benefits people
See the world compares it to those bad drugs that make you physically dependent not addicted and still physically dependent i
The city where I live in, it's legal ... and it stinks like crazy. It's impossible to sit in a public transport bus or train because of the stench. Please don't legalize this.
