Re: Cannabis
Jason, I know that research can be flawed(I spent most of my working life in a profession that required practice to be research based)...but I have to say that I would put more faith in the research of the scientists at KCH than someone who is biased because they are a user of the stuff.
Who knows how your use of this substance has affected your thought processes.
You say that no-one has died as a result of overdosing on cannabis......that may be true, but many lives have been detrimentally affected by the use of this substance.......and lives have been lost as a possible side effect of the use of this drug.....through overdosing on stronger more powerful drugs which cannabis users have graduated to.
Decriminalising this drug may create many more problems than it solves, it will not wipe out the dealers, there will always be those who are ready to make money out of the people who wish to retreat from life by using illegal substances.
We have had this discussion so many times in the past. I have said these things before and I think it is time to lay this subject to rest.....so my input ends here.
