Cannabis that is in the solid form is far more scary a thought(chemicals they could be putting into their bodies) From heresay that isn't as popular now as it was 15 years ago. I didn't know then that it was filled with all kinds of stuff. People smoke that for a long period of time and who knows what condition their mind would be in.
Had to google it again. I have most likely posted this before. But I think its relevant if studies were made whilst people were smoking stuff like this...
Here is a list of what has been found inside sold form cannabis-- Beeswax, turpentine, milk powder, ketamine, boot polish, henna, pine resin, aspirin, animal turds, ground coffee, barbiturates, glues and dyes plus carcinogenic solvents such as Toluene and Benzene
Sobering thought.
In 2000 I made the concious decision to leave drugs behind. It is a touchy subject and It is a hard choice which side to come on. I don't think drugs should be legalised. But maintain the opinion that addicts are sick and that they need help. I also think that cannabis should be thought of in the same light as alcohol. As you say there is always risk. There is certainly a lot more risk drinking alcohol.
Perhaps I will go and mix my drink instead. (in this case bourbon and coke)

I've also said, umpteen times, I agree, about your point regarding drink.
Alcohol has the potential to cause sometimes fatal illness, as well as utter misery for those who love a alcoholic.
Decriminalising recreational drugs wouldn't change this, or address some of the very serious issues associated with the misuse of alcohol.
