4. The first topic we will speak about is legalising cannabis. This has been a
big debate going on for years throughout the different political parties.
It has proven that legalising cannabis has job creation potential, which will
stop many unemployment in the UK which means people claiming for
benefits will lower. This has been proven as in Colorado, which legalised
cannabis at the beginning of 2014, 10,000 now work in the cannabis
industry: growing and harvesting crops and making and selling equipment.
It also proved that crime had fallen, after 3 months of legalisation the city
experienced a 14.6% drop in crime specifically violent crime.
Moving on to political issues, legalisation and regulations of cannabis can
benefit the economy, lift the burden on criminal justice system and help
recreational and medical cannabis users enjoy a clean, safe product.
Political parties have also stated that cannabis itself is not the problem its
the current law. The laws of cannabis vary from country to country,
possession of cannabis is illegal in most countries. However possession of
the drug in small quantities has been decriminalized in many countries, as
they are trying to stop people who have larger quantities to stop dealing.
Marijuana has also proven to be useful to medical problems such as
cancer, depression, eating disorders, arthritis . However taking marijuana
for medical purposes have side effects like most medicines these side
effects include drowsiness, short term memory loss and more serious side

effects include anxiety and paranoia. Only people who have a card from a
doctor should use medical marijuana, doctors will not prescribe marijuana
to anyone under 18. Other people who should not use it are people with
heart disease, pregnant woment and people with a history of psychosis.
Here in the studio we have Joey Bartlett, I am going to interview him on his
opinion about legalising cannabis.
Hello Joey, welcome to show, how are you? Thats splendid
So Joey you use to smoke cannabis for 3 years, you first started smoking
cannabis every now and then and soon it became a regular habit of
smoking it every day. You use to smoke it for fun as it was easier to get
than alcohol, however you said before the interview that there was also
personal reasons, however I will not ask unless you feel comfortable
talking about it.
Do you think you were addicted?
Do you think it made you change in anyway? do you think it will affect you
long term? As it has been proven that it reduces resistance to common
colds, growth disorders, study difficulties so reduced ability to learn and
retain information.
Do you think these long term effects will catch up to you?
Did you experience any short term effects when you did cannabis? Such as
depression, panic, anxiety or poor coordination of movement.
Do you think cannabis will help certain medical problems such as
depression, arthritis, cancer and eating disorders?
Do you think they should legalise cannabis for medical reasons? Or do you
think people will end up relying on cannabis and stop taking actual
medicine?
Theyve been trying to legalise cannabis in the UK through political parties
and 420 a popular cannabis culture to legalise the consumption of
cannabis where it originated from California, do you think this day has
helped the case of legalising cannabis?
As you know the government have been debating for many years about
legalising cannabis, do you believe cannabis will effect the government in
any way? Do you think jobs will be made or lost?
Some people believe that the government only want to legalise cannabis
to make money and to TAX people as they have realised how much money
they could make from it?
Overall do you think they should legalise cannabis in the UK and why?
Thank you for your time Joey, it was lovely to meet you.
5. A recent observation has shown that more young people have switched to
using E cigarettes as opposed to traditional cigarettes. Vaporisers have
become increasingly popular and many people have decided to make the
switch after being made aware of the risks and health issues with smoking
traditional cigarettes. A recent study has concluded that e cigarettes and
vaporisers are now much more popular as opposed to normal cigarettes
despite them not knowing the long term effects of E cigarettes.
Here in the studio as well, we have Logan Wingate, a former traditional
smoker who has switched from smoking traditional cigarettes to using an E
cigarette, was it alright for you getting here?
Thats good to hear, so Logan you originally smoked traditional cigarettes
from around the age of 13, correct? And about a couple of months ago,
like 3 million others, youve recently switched to using a vaporiser, what
made you make the switch?

So, around Henley College, about a 45% of smokers have now switched to
using E cigarettes and vaporisers, did anyone you know make the switch?
So, researches still havent discovered the long term health issues of using
vaporisers, despite doctors encouraging smokers to switch. Do you think
the benefits of E cigarettes outweigh the risks? E cigarettes are known to
be more addictive than normal cigarettes.
As a lot of people know and youre probably aware of, traditional
cigarettes have been linked to many types of cancers and other issues, is
this one of the reasons you decided to ditch the traditional. Over 80% of
those who switched to vaporisers have felt physically better, how has
making the change benefited your health?
Like previously mentioned, people still dont agree with making the
change, is this because of their ignorance in which they dont know the
long term affects or may they just be lazy? Has anyone disagreed with you
making the switch yourself?
However, Ive heard that some buildings and restaurants like
Weatherspoons dont allow users to use them indoors despite the fact
that you arent actually burning chemicals, youre merely inhaling vapour.
So what would you say to users who havent made the switch?
Thank you for your time, it was a pleasure having you on the show.
