The true bits are about the use of the so called 'legal' highs.
It is so sad to see young people in the grip of this powerful chemical.
However, it begs the question as to how they got there....and I would bet a pound to a penny that ALL of them started out smoking cannabis.
The other reason why I think Kestrelx is telling porkies is....for so long he banged on about the recreational use of cannabis....how it should be legalised, how it was acceptable, how it was no more harmful than alcohol....in fact if my memory serves me rightly....he tried to tell us it was far less harmful than alcohol.
Now, I am not saying that alcohol, tobacco, caffeine or any other chemical habit is blameless....but what I am saying is that the use of these recreational activities does lead down the path to the use of dangerous drugs.
So this about turn from the poster is to be treated with some scepticism.

I don't smoke tobacco, or cannabis. Alcohol is also very bad drug - you can buy liter whiskey or vodka, drink a lot of it and get in the same state as heavy drugs, but legally. I gave up on alcohol as well.
There was a program last year called "Gone to Pot" with various celebs travelling round USA looking into Cannabis.

Two who you wouldn't have thought, said that perhaps it should be made legal - but the one thing they all said that was bad about it is that it's hard to gauge how strong it is and one person may react differently to another from the same dose.
I don't know if we should legalise it anymore - there are lot of questions.
