Fuck Britain really is going to the fuckin dogs innit?

If only there was some more relaxed country in the world, where the locals had a chilled "Manana" attitude, and a penchant for big hats.

I'm certain such a place exists, although I've yet to locate it.

He'd get banged up in one of Boris' weekend bootcamps for miscreant youth. Quite right too, I say.

I'm glad someone is finally coming up with sensible ideas.

It's just swag and I reckon it's the last straw on the weed economy that will finally push a 1/8 of skunk above the magic threshold of £20. Inflation's long overdue in that industry, if I studied economics I'd be trying to explain just why that is.

People that smoke cannabis are usually just really boring, a bit of psychosis might liven things up a bit.

From what little I remember of being stoned at uni I was proper entertaining

Ever thought of joining the IWW?

I can understand the need to have a quick and easy thing to latch on to but I don't know if this strain is a heavier sort or not, i'd assume weed is like other drugs and their different potencies (due to a variety of reasons). I don't believe all the hype around it, but i've personally seen the effect prolonged weed effect can have on people and it does have a level of danger to it, still I disagree with the reclassifiction, and the sheer fact the goverment stuck two fingers upto the committes report which told them not to shows just where certain peoples priorities lie.

Weed has a lot of medical applications which compared to some prescription drugs the side effects are minimal. Considering some prescription drugs can come listed with side effects ranging from fatigue, nausea, vomiting, decreased blood cell counts, hair loss, sores and mental problems it seems daft to completely cut out weed from the medical environment.

As a recreational drug it can easily be compared to alcohol. Alcohol has evidence of causing liver disease, brain damage, increased risks of cancer, heart palpitations etc. Weed has evidence of causing lung damage, increased risk of cancer, mental problems etc.

They don’t seem that different when you look at the suspected risks they are reporting from both, also as a recreational drug the acute toxicity of cannabis is very low; no-one has ever died as a direct and immediate consequence of recreational or medical use the same can’t be said for alcohol with alcohol poisoning.

Now day’s though practically everything is bad for you the health fanatics say from eggs and milk to weed and alcohol. Remember eating food can cause an increase of heart disease, obesity, lung and stomach damage among other more serious side effects!

The whole reclassifications just politicising so that the govt can say look how tough we are were fighting crime like superman!

Bob you can't deny that recent scientific developments motivated by the lucrativity of the market for weed has made it much stronger. The article claims skunk now accounts for the vast majority of marijuana in the UK. Perhaps it's just a semantic change (I call it all weed anyway) or perhaps it refers to hydrophonics. All I know is I remember being 16 and anything green being a novelty...instead we'd smoke that godawful vinyl plastic that made you feel ill and gave you a headache.

Power - given how varied the effects of weed is depending on a whole bunch of variables (one of which is strength), I'm not sure you could talk about just being high or more high. Some stuff (which I would call skunk or hydrophonic) will make you spin out (I remember a certain Libcom poster blackign out in my kitchen not so long ago, making my housemate dial two 9s if you get me) or tremble etc etc while other stuff will just send you to sleep. Most stuff sits with me pretty well, but then again I'm one of the few people who never really experienced many problems with the shit.

As a bitchy sidenote, the allday Libcommunity posters making pronouncements about others being "boring" is quite something really.

Nah don't get me wrong, weed probably is stronger these days (i wasn't alive in the 60s so i don't actually know). And a LOT of people shouldn't smoke it because it'll fuck them up. like you, i've never had any problems from smoking weed. besides, y'know, a lack of motivation. but i don't think i had that to begin with.

i was just saying, like, just because it fucks SOME people up is no reason to make illegal. even if it fucked up EVERYone who took it it'd still not be a reason to make it illegal. and as someone who smokes on the regular, and knows people who deal, it's a fucking worrying precedant. i've got friends who are plenty paro as it is (uh, not paranoid FROM smoking weed, although no doubt that contributes), i don't need my hookups going cold on me!

Incidentally, 3:30am over there right? How's that post-boozeup fuckhowcomeIdidntpull joint going down Bob? You feeling spinny yet?

I can correct the spelling mistakes in the subtitles if you like.
