I am from a nursing background and regularly saw young people who had smoked cannabis, suffering from mental illness.......yes I also saw folk who had misused alcohol and had liver disease.......and I'm not being 'fly' when I say this....you can get a liver transplant(OK, it isn't the easiest thing in the world, and in my opinion, it shouldn't happen if the disease is alcohol induced)......this type of mental illness can only be managed.


Ask me if I would use cannabis for recreational purposes and the answer would be 'absolutely not'.......I drink alcohol very rarely too.

it is,(again, my opinion only) people with sad lives and poor imaginations who need to rely on recreational drugs to get their 'highs' in life.

Think your last statement says it all Margaret
