Re: Cannabis

As 'this weeks studies' have shown,Cannabis can be mentally damaging to 'some' folk, which is half the reason i can't see it being legalised in the UK for anyone except the odd medical user perhaps.

"Weed" is probably the most commonly used "illicit drug" in the UK and this has bred a extremely large industry of illegal and criminal activity that could easily be curtailed by allowing regulated sales and responsible use.....its a no brainer surely

Watch Channel 4 on March 3 Sunshine, Drugs Live: Cannabis on Trial.

Most of your mind farts are trivial and amusing AccyX but as you pointed out a while ago, this is a child friendly forum. Your utterances on here are foolish, myopic and misleading.

Yes indeed this week we have studied your mood and opinion changes, thank you for your time, you really have gone out of your way to show how weed can affect the afflicted.

In future we should try to ensure that only those that can hold their thoughts together will be allowed to use illegal drugs.

You can stop posting now the experiment is over.

With the greatest respect folks, you obviously don't have a clue You arrogantly assume that you know all of the variables, when in actuality your snide comments just show your bigotry .

Tsk tsk tsk AccyX you resurrect a thread from 2009 and add nothing to the debate. Other than a ringing endorsement you are flip flop attention seeker.
I'll hop off this thread pinching Margaret's comments and set my tvbox to record the Channel 4 programme.
Happy to hear your thoughts after then though.

I don't need to watch it in order to gain my opinion,I'm already quite knowledgable on this topic ,I will gladly chat with you or any other member after you/they've watched the programme as long as it doesn't sink into the usual bickering.
As I've already said half the problem is the prohibition of cannabis and for me the only side effect (that I'm willing to admit to) is perhaps the "munchies" .
The key,like most things in life, is moderation.

Re: Cannabis

I know I said I was done..But hey, I am female I can change my mind(about some things).
If this program was to show that cannabis was harmless and a bit of fun you would be promoting the program with great gusto. You have posted athree minute clip and deem it a whitewash because it doesn't fit in with your thoughts on this drug.

There are current trials of medical grade cannabis being undertaken in the search for a treatment for brain tumours.
It appears that the cannabis has a very active role in preventing the formation of blood vessels within a brain tumour.....and that those that are already formed are damaged by the active ingredient in cannabis.
So don't you think that this is a possibility in healthy brains too?
That this damage to blood vessels may be responsible for the change in personality of those who use this drug recreationally over long periods of time, whether in moderation or not?

As to your thoughts that legalising the drug will make it safer and control the drug dealers....that will not happen. There will always be drug dealers on the street.....there is illegal trade in booze and fags and cannabis would be no different.....People will always go for the cheapest option.
Legalising cannabis would make the drug liable to a tax of some description(can you see any government willing to allow the use of something without slapping a tax on it?)...it would also send put the message that it is safe.

Now, I truly am done......if you want more of my thoughts on this subject there are plenty of them in the archives...Go search!
