1) Skunk was started by drugs dealers as a way of getting round the fact that it's easier to grow cannabis indoors using powerful lights which causes it to grow faster and be much stronger than normal. This is because naturally grown cannabis from India, Pakistan was not getting into the country and cutting off their supply. Hence they came up with the idea of growing it indoors in this way and that is what is Skunk. Skunk can be grown in any indoor space in the UK with the right equipment. It is well known that it makes people "psychotic" and does not have the relaxing effect of naturally grown cannabis. Which is why all these "Shameless" style little criminals like it.

2) Again Mephedrone was also a substitute for ecstasy which was increasingly harder to get.

There are conflicting reports about the effects of various drugs, for example last year Harvard Medical School published results of research into ecstasy and the conclusion was quote...

"A new study carried out by a team at Harvard Medical School and published in the journal Addiction last week, found no evidence that ecstasy causes brain damage. This is one of the largest ever studies into the effects of the drug ecstasy. The scientists responsible for the research concluded that many previous studies had made over-arching conclusions from insufficient data, and that the drug’s dangers have been greatly exaggerated. In contrast to many prior studies, ecstasy users in the new study showed no signs of cognitive impairment attributable to drug use: ecstasy use did not decrease mental ability."
Ecstasy Does Not Wreck the Mind

So this is new information from a highly credible source that contradicts claims from earlier sources, in which the way studies were conducted were biased.

So what I am asking is that honest facts be taken on board - not "knee jerk reactionism!"

I do not think you have an argument to answer here. You might know some facts but do you really know any realities? If not shut up! You are actually disturbing me by your inability to understand the real picture.

Have you always struggled coping with things?

Was that why you first took drugs?

To artificially mask dealing with reality?

It's always wiser to face your problems, rather than to run and hide from them.

Recreational drugs only alter real life temporarily.

They aren't a long-term solution to people's inadequacies.

Just say no.

Seek real help.
