You just don't get it do you ... I can't think of anyone on here who appreciates being "told" ... I know that a statement beginning like this sure rattles the [deleted] outa my cage.

This "discussion" has, in my opinion anyway, run its course. If we want to discuss the ill effects of something that gives many folks pleasure, we could always discuss bacon butties and obesity, or, better still, oral sex and throat cancer.:rolleyes:

Re: Cannabis
 

So that's a NO then is it. Look, I have absolutely no problem if you want to take illicit substances that's up to you. However, unless you grow your own, how do you know what the purity of what you are taking, or if it has been cut with some nasty toxin?
You are directly funding organised crime by buying this stuff and maybe even helping terrorists, who knows.
so please don't come on here exhaulting the virtues of a substance you cannot vouch for with ANY scientific knowledge.

Re: Cannabis
 

I'm not trying to be patronise anyone E,it just rattles my cage when folk from across the pond "brag" about there use of a certain drug and everyone's fine with that due to the legality of it,but yet someone who uses that same drug in the uk are the next best thing to a smack head....


....rather a double standard don't you think? :rolleyes:

I look forward to your pleasures thread,it should make a interesting read ;)

The answers to your questions are in my previous comments,in short it's through personal experience,I can tell if it's been cut with crap by looking at it.
How do you know the purity of a pint in the local pub?
How do you know it's not watered down or topped up with dregs from the previous night?

Like I've mentioned previously,It's only through the legality of cannabis in the uk that keeps it in the hands of criminals (and perhaps terrorists).
That's why it should be legalised and regulated (like alcohol) to keep it as safe as possible for folk like me :D

Re: Cannabis
 

No, those talking about it "from across the pond" mention it in passing, more of an aside than as a direct statement of intent! Which I personally find rather foolish especially within UK.

Oh & further to my post #202, the character in question has now reached new depths due to his "habit", demanding money & threatening violence & arson, nice.

I don't drink beer, only Vodka and I am very picky about which brand I drink, Grey Goose mainly, and always drink it neat.
If the majority of the population wanted Cannabis to be legal, I am sure it would be.
Having said that, i see North Korea is one of the few places its legal, maybe thats why they are so mad?

Re: Cannabis
 

Well I don't smoke resin,only skunk,I'm very particular about the strains too sativa's mainly however I don't smoke it neat which is probably more detrimental to my health.
Maybe it would be legal if more folk realised it not the Devils drig it's made out to be?

Re: Cannabis
 

But there is a difference between "wanting" and "preferring" ... Even in BC, legalization, or decriminalization won't feature large in any political party's platform. Well, maybe the Marijuana Party of Canada ... but they have as much chance of winning as the "Save Your Throat, Don't Go Down Party.";) However, I strongly suspect that all mainstream political parties have figured it out, down to the last nickle, how much extra tax revenue they can raise.

It's not an issue, at least not a big one ... except for one person on here, who seems intent on doing nothing more than agitating the feces.

And now for a musical interlude:;)

Re: Cannabis
 

Now that we've got the "user" lynching out of the way.....This is for those who wish to discuss this "non issue" a bit further....

...There is a 'gateway Hypothesis',many folk believe that cannabis leads to harder drugs but,is cannabis really a "gateway drug" anymore than say alcohol or nicotine?

Surely, just because most smack heads might of tried cannabis does not mean most cannabis users will end up smack heads.

Re: Cannabis
 

We've had lengthy discussions about this previously with Kestrelx. Do we really need to go over the same old ground?

Search Legalise "Illegal" Drugs, read that (all 99 pages) and then decide if there is anything new to say.
