    Legalise it. Alcohol kills more people a year than weed. No one says anything

  2. @damianclarkeed6683 on September 18, 2025 at 4:32 pm

    There would be a massive rise in mental health if they did legalise it. I know a few people that have serious mental health because of years of smoking that stuff.

  3. @JakeDetects on September 18, 2025 at 4:33 pm

    First guys a fool stuck in his old ways. No way of adapting. Last fella is the progressive stoic ❤

  4. @SamFleming-q1d on September 18, 2025 at 4:34 pm

    Meanwhile let’s promote more vapes and alcohol everywhere in the uk instead along with the fake foods they say are healthy. Us as a nation have become thick and brainwashed by their ignorance and ideology

  5. @Sentientheart on September 18, 2025 at 4:35 pm

    I’m in my mid forties, and the people who have grown up around me smoking weed since teenage years are not all there mentally and emotionally. In another twenty years they’re gonna be senile.

  6. @VeeBee-u7w on September 18, 2025 at 4:36 pm

    How many BRITISH people where actually in this clip ? 😂

  7. @renewoolford6483 on September 18, 2025 at 4:36 pm

    Man here are a load of people who have never understood cannabis.Do your own research on it. Btw medical has been legal since 2018!? Your telling me the bad people in this country are stoners??? Lmfao you lot are truly lost

  8. @Purple-Aki-1 on September 18, 2025 at 4:37 pm

    They’re going to tax the balls off it if they legalise it

  9. @j7cc on September 18, 2025 at 4:38 pm

    🇺🇸☘️🇬🇧 United in traditional values.

  10. @ryan90736 on September 18, 2025 at 4:39 pm

    Seems like an easy win! Free up police resources, remove a revenue source from gangs, create jobs, regulate the product to reduce harm and bring in taxable income for the country!

    I fail to see a downside here.

    Britons react ❌
    Foreigners react ✅

  12. @mah3223alia on September 18, 2025 at 4:45 pm

    As skunk increases the risk of psychosis in young users. and with the UK memtal health system as broken as it is…….i’m not sure about this.

  13. @mrmalavey1098 on September 18, 2025 at 4:46 pm

    This uneducated war against a plant has to stop. Maybe do some real research and report facts rather than opinion otherwise well start calling you guys the BBC.
    Knowledge is power and there’s a lot of weak people when it comes to this subject.

  14. @andr3wr89 on September 18, 2025 at 4:46 pm

    Wheres the brits

  15. @DanielJames-wz3hd on September 18, 2025 at 4:47 pm

    Where’s the British people you interviewed then?

  16. @OscarGolph on September 18, 2025 at 4:49 pm

    so… some people would like others punished for something they themselves dont do ?, what a set of wankers. How is it even a Crime ?

  17. @bensmithy4279 on September 18, 2025 at 4:50 pm

    Marijuana and consenting adults —> Long-term marijuana use can impair memory, focus, and learning, especially if started young. It increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and in some cases, psychosis. Users may develop low motivation and emotional blunting. Dependence can form, and quitting may trigger withdrawal symptoms like irritability and sleep issues.

  18. @ShaunPearson-n6r on September 18, 2025 at 4:53 pm

    Try and compare trouble with smokers to trouble were dring is cocerned its ridiculous in the 21 century

  19. @cosmicmuffin322 on September 18, 2025 at 4:56 pm

    The question is not actually whether or not to decriminalise it. It’s about HOW you do it, how the laws work, what the transition plan is. A badly planned decriminalisation is worse than not doing it at all. At least in the short term.

  20. @jeanmaddison2362 on September 18, 2025 at 4:57 pm

    Can bring on mental health issues, but you do you

  21. @petercooper7789 on September 18, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    It’s a really good idea legalise cannabis then the police can spend more time going after rape gangs, illegals migrants etc

  22. @shiina29 on September 18, 2025 at 5:02 pm

    Yeah who needs a functioning society anyway? 😅

  23. @BROKENLIZARD983 on September 18, 2025 at 5:03 pm

    As someone that smoked this everyday for 5 years. It should be illegal.

  24. @SmartfoolGB on September 18, 2025 at 5:03 pm

    He’s just trying to win back support after being made to do some very dirty work. It’ll not be legalised but not during sadicks time in politics

  25. @BobGnarly420 on September 18, 2025 at 5:05 pm

    Non of them sound British 😂

  26. @petersullivan3012 on September 18, 2025 at 5:06 pm

    "Britons", which one, the Aussies, American or German?

  27. @flirtygirl2569 on September 18, 2025 at 5:07 pm

    THE GOVERNMENT MAKES MONEY ON SEIZED ASSETS 🙄

  28. @billyschofield1221 on September 18, 2025 at 5:07 pm

    Typical, interviewing ‘Britons’ in london and there 2…. 2 elderly Britons, and a bunch of foreign people….. 🤦‍♂️

  29. @Beatrice-og3yk on September 18, 2025 at 5:07 pm

    Does the one who wants to authorize drugs also would allow coke, crack, emphetamines…
    The politics who allowed drugs made things worse. Marijuana isn’t very dangerous but the strongest ones must be prohibited. Society pays for people with drug addiction problems

  30. @asbosable on September 18, 2025 at 5:09 pm

    The levels of stupid are quite incredible. They probably think Starmer is doing a good job and Islam is a religion of peace.

  31. @louieedwards7627 on September 18, 2025 at 5:10 pm

    I smoke it myself. But if i was living in london i still wouldnt vote for khan even if i do think it should be decriminalised. I wont sell my country out just for weed to be decriminalised, especially when his reasoning was that migrants are disproportionately stop searched so hes purely doing it for migrants like everything he does. I do understand peoples feelings about the drug but its no more of a drug than alcohol, weed is a relaxant which will not cause you to become angry. If you smoke weed and go out raging in public and making a fuss then youre the problem. Yet every day we see drunken messes wandering the streets driving intoxicated, once again alcohol makes you more confident meaning youre more likely to drive fast and crash. Weed however is the opposite, i do not condone driving on either but im making comparisons because i think alcohol is far more damaging to society. However i definitely dont want alcohol banned either because people wanto to drink it so fine.
    Finally i wont have anyone saying ohh but the smell, quite frankly i hate the chemical smell of nail salons and i definitely hate the smell of spirits like vodka but i dont go round moaning. Its literally a smell, one of which isnt even a bad smell, youll get over it.

  32. @jayyelland8289 on September 18, 2025 at 5:12 pm

    ITS NOT EVEN A DRUG FFS 😂.. IT EVEN SAYS SO IN THE DICTIONARY 👍 YOUR DOCTOR IS A BIGGEST DRUG DEALER 🙄 ALL YOU LOT POPPING ALL THESE PROSCRIPTION PILLS ARE 1000 TIMES WORSE….

  33. @dotolaj3263 on September 18, 2025 at 5:15 pm

    ok so now we’ll have knife wielding dope heads running around. Can someone please launch a campaign to remove this vile mayor!

  34. @NorseCode.81 on September 18, 2025 at 5:16 pm

    Ban smoking cigarettes and legalised weed well that make sense doesn’t it, what genius thought of that. Why not legalise heroin and crack cocaine while you’re at it.. And i agree with one of the other comments on here that none of these people who were interviewed were actually British. If you haven’t got a British accent then you’re clearly not British I don’t care what your passport says. If you’re an ethnic minority and you hold a British passport I don’t care about your passport you’re not British and that’s the bottom line your passport is just fictional.

  35. @michelleqs78 on September 18, 2025 at 5:17 pm

    I don’t care if people want to smoke this. My issue is the smell. It makes me want to 🤮. Legalise it like cigarettes and alcohol.

  36. @AndRew-vo9bz on September 18, 2025 at 5:18 pm

    The biggest problem with drugs isn’t the substance itself but the economy that surrounds it.. a chain or organised crime and exploited men, women, boys and children.. especially the children as typically they are the children most at risk I.e in the care of social services etc etc etc… weed should be legal.. get it grown properly and tax it the. 50% of the crime and related will go as there won’t be a market it anymore for it..

  37. @richardgoldins4790 on September 18, 2025 at 5:19 pm

    I’ve said for years legalise give all profit to nhs

  38. @tristan3763 on September 18, 2025 at 5:19 pm

    The German is Kristian Niemietz from the Institute of Economic Affairs. Smart guy but disingenuous to see a think tank plant in a v
    ‘Ask the public’ styled video.

  39. @WordOfMoney2024 on September 18, 2025 at 5:20 pm

    Making weed legal would just make drug consumption more legal making london look better on paper but could also be the way that London makes harder drugs more legal

  40. @tristantopambudi3186 on September 18, 2025 at 5:20 pm

    Britons? ‘Eeehh…..😅

  41. @Thedipdipking on September 18, 2025 at 5:21 pm

  42. @MrCarol666 on September 18, 2025 at 5:22 pm

  43. @CJWFell on September 18, 2025 at 5:22 pm

    In some people it brings on Schizophrenia and who picks up that tab – because I don’t via higher taxes.

  44. @BIGVLADP on September 18, 2025 at 5:24 pm

    How did you find so many white people in London?

  45. @millwallfc2521 on September 18, 2025 at 5:25 pm

    Boll..ks my son was spending 200 pounds a week on this stuff.
    It fuc..d him up lucky he didn’t do anything harder.
    Now he’s clean and in the British army
    Some people can’t moderate it

  46. @billy1bob2ones3 on September 18, 2025 at 5:25 pm

    Notable lack of Britons – don’t debase the British heritage by referring to them as such

  47. @chrisnas4 on September 18, 2025 at 5:25 pm

    I thought you said Brittons? Not one of them was a Britton lmao.

  48. @s7even-f5n on September 18, 2025 at 5:27 pm

    He just doesn’t want Pakistani men getting charged with anything if 10 of them are caught in a house with a drunk, naked, English child and they’re all smoking weed.

  49. @mukhumor on September 18, 2025 at 5:30 pm

    There are those who would use it to become an anti-social nuisance. While I couldn’t care less if adults want to imbibe at home, doing what they do, but ruffians carrying on in public… not so much. So, legalise but with caveats. Responsible adult behaviour.

  50. @sarahcoldham2546 on September 18, 2025 at 5:30 pm

    What about its impact on children? Making it legal will make it easier for under 18s to get their hands on it and it can damage their developing brain.
