So far as Cannabis is concerned, welcome new user as someone that has used it every day for over 40 years allow me to tell you first hand, it is not addictive, it causes no mental harm whatsoever, (KILL, KILL, destroy the vermin!), and you will soon find that when people ring up about a motor accident you will dribble down the 'phone, telling them, "Hey don't bother me with you're problems.... **** happens!".

Not at all, Im still in my youth.
Im may, or may not be a new user or have been a user for many years or even be a total none smoker, or I could know a large different group of users who show that most things that people say about the subject they are talking rubbish.
But is completely erelivent to the debate.

In US history, cannabis was banned in 1937, but before this it was used a lot, at one time in virgina it was ILLEGAL not to grow hemp.
Im sure I read something the Henry Fords first Model T was build to run a hemp gasoline and the car its self was constructed from hemp. (cant confirm if this is true or not),
Quite a intertsting read if you look into the FACTS.

Joints contain tobacco.
Smoking it weed could cause psycosis, being a none smoke you can still suffer from psycosis, taking perscribed medication can cause psycosis.

Not all users are on the dole, infact the same can be said about alcohol.
Anti Social behaviour is more alcohol fuled, but this lines the goverments pocket so that ok.
Drugs are for mugs, So when the doctor perscribes pill's you tell him Im no mug and refuse the medication.

That says a lot for a perscription medication.
