Many prescription drugs alter mental states and perception.

Suddenly seeing the world through psychedelic glasses? Wanting a return to your missed youth?

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!".
:cool:

Tend to agree with this .... back in the 70s there was a study done in the US ... if anyone is interested, google National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, otherwise: The Shafer Commission.

Don't mention Prozac to me Margaret, I was prescribed this about 15 years ago, I took 1 tablet around 15 years ago and it had me crawling up the wall, the most frightening experience I've ever had, just 1 25mg capsule could turn me into a shacking shell of a person in two hours:(

A hell of a lot but dont touch it anymore, just alcohol for me now(which is infact one of the worst drugs hehe) i am not against canabis and there is nothing much wrong with it but some people abuse it too much and where its not addictive as such some become dependant on it and fool themselves into thinking its their entire life

The thing is. resin form of cannabis is that when they make it they put all kind of chemicals with it... so you are actually smoking plastic hardners etc, of which i imagine can increase the risk of respiratory illness

By the way isn't glass made of sand and isn't sands main constituent silicone? (apologies for spelling that word correctly).

Though I do find it shocking to think that a dealer in illegal substances would stoop to such underhand methods just to make some extra money.

In 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 prescribed pill's you tell him Im no mug and refuse the medication.



That says a lot for a perscription medication.
