Legalise "Illegal" Drugs? - Page 54

So, if it was such a pleasurable pursuit, what made you give it up?

A few reasons, but one was that the only type available was Skunk which I found too strong...

Which is another problem caused by letting criminals run it...

Are you insane!!
I refer you back to my post, twice made now, you seem to ignore.

Seeing if you take illegal drugs you are twice as more likely to die than from Paracetamol. I would have thought responsibility does not come into it.

I refer to my earlier post on this subject

CLEAR: Cannabis Law Reform

But your the idiot who keeps enhancing its use, looks like it took its toll 18 years ago

Seems like the damage was done back then BG, no longer able to reason sensibly

I don't understand your comment, are you advocating legalisation or not and are you still using or not if you don't mind me asking? (my question seems a bit to the point) And if you have stopped using, why? I could perhaps use your input to talk to young people about the pros and cons if you are willing and not coming across as you seem to have been?

Is that DRIBBLE or DRIVEL?

I don't understand what your comment means? People die from Paracetomol, period, nothing to do with illegal drugs!

I don't think it's insane to legalise cannabis and control it's distribution! Currently it is in the hands of criminal gangs and those gangs are making vast profits out of it. Surely it's better to legalise it and that would take it out of the hands of gangs.

It's not just me who thinks this but the organisation "Clear".

Recent research has shown that cannabis has powerful medicinal properties.

You believe all the bad propoganda about it!

Can you live without Tea? Coffee? Or Sugar?

This thread is going round in circles! There are lots of previous answers to this question!

Cut the lad some slack, he is easily confused these days, dribble is what drips off his chin as he attempts to post his drivel.

One thought I've been having lately is:-

If kestrelx has a downer about people using alcohol, why is his user name also the name of probably the worst lager in the world?

No I don't use it. But if it was legal I would probably grow some plants as the strength of naturally sunlight grown cannabis is very mellow. But the skunk sold which is 90% of what is sold on the streets of Britain is very strong - which is one reason I don't use it now. It is grown indoors under unnatural lights and is forced to grow faster hence the strenght is like 20% up on natural cannabis!

I'm interested to know why you stopped (none of my business of course I'm just a nosy old social worker so please don't say unless you want to!). But why would you grow plants if it was legal if you no longer use it, and if you feel so strongly why don't you grow it now for personal use? - I'm just interested...

Yes and you are not listening! I understand you are involved with kids who have abused drugs - I am telling you that a lot of these kids are involved in gang culture and the drugs are a part of that culture because these drugs are illegal. Legalising them would end gang involvement and it would no longer be "cool" to deal drugs as part of a gang!

I've already explained why a few posts back - if it was legal I may grow a bit to use as a herb on my omlettes instead of smoking it. I don't have any seeds for a start...
