cannibis is a drug and should be banned as it is bad for your health.
It causes cancer and makes people inpotent.
And that is the most impotent and horrifically ill-informed thing yoiu could say about cannabis. It has a myriad of medicinal benefits. This is well documented.
And if that is the case, shouldn't we be banning cigarettes and alcohol? These two legal drugs have NO medicinal effects at all. They are nasty, horrible products that are detrimental to health and human consciousness. All they do is, invariably, harm/kill people and/or harm/kill the people that the users of these disgusting drugs come into contact with.
That is a very short sighted thing to say about tobacco and alcohol. . . Everyone knows that taxed drugs are all okay, it's those vile, nasty untaxed things you've got to beware.

So does cigarettes. So do exhaust fumes from diesel engines.
Beer ain't to good for you either. Especially the * they put in Stella Artois.
Lets ban all them.
This isn't about comparison, the subject is very specific. Let's stick to inhaling concentrated smoke for recreational purposes as opposed to breathing to live.
We have all kinds of drugs, many prescribed. If an individual who has a health problem would benefit from the usage of cannabis in the comfort of their own home - then fine. However, it is recreational use by those who have no need is where it should be policed.
The health dangers of cannabis are not that straightforward. Research shows it can trigger schizophrenia in later life.
What also must not be ignored, is that cannabis today is not the same as cannabis from the hippy days.
Recent research shows smoking three pure cannabis joints is as bad for your lungs as smoking 20 normal cigarettes and marijuana is more dangerous now than it was in the 1960s. The British Lung Foundation said tar from cannabis cigarettes contained 50 percent more carcinogens -- the agents that produce cancer -- than tobacco.
"Three cannabis joints a day cause the same damage to the lining of the airways as 20 cigarettes," it said in a statement. It also said the health dangers of cannabis have substantially increased since the 1960s because today's marijuana has increased amounts of key chemical compounds.
Campaigners for the legalization of cannabis disputed some of the findings;
"Saying that cannabis is stronger now than it used to be is like saying that orange juice is stronger these days," said Alun Buffry, spokesman for the Legalize Cannabis Alliance.
This is of course an excellent comparison given that orange juice today has far more chemicals in than 30 years ago – the levels of all kinds of pollution can be measured in significantly higher quantities.
It is all very well saying that people should be able to do what they like, pick and choose what they want to ingest – but it is called ‘dope’ for a reason. Smoking cannabis severely compromises your reaction times.
Doing it in your own home is one thing, but the increased usage outside in the community, is an accident waiting to happen.
Ban it, except under license for those who have legitimate medical need. _________________ I completely challenge the official version of events - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC -I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC

I am suprised Tele - usually you're far more sceptical than here.

As opposed to what other 'trigger' mechanisms?

This is true - it's a seasonal crop. Bread, beans and rape seed oil today are probably not the same as in hippy days either.

No what he is saying Tele is that orange juice is orange juice (as opposed to concentrate), peas are peas and cannabis is cannabis. Due to some cross-bred varieties of hydroponically cultivated dutch skunk with elevated THC levels, the meme is out there in Daily Mail land that people who should know better are invited to disregard their own life experience (those - and there were many - who did inhale) and envision an updated version of 'Reefer Madness' out there on the streets. In short - piffle.

Like most things in life some contexts are better than others. While on the whole I approve of my favourite musicians use therof, I don't therefore approve of an airline pilot or a driver being stoned on duty.

Agreed, but sometimes the trek to the all-night garage is unavoidable.

And once again you believe and 'repeat' what you have been told. I suggest you go and do some homework before you start expousing such propagandist drivel. I happen to work with substance users (Alcohol, crack cocaine and heroin, mainly) a percentage of these people I have seen sectioned, hospitalized through chronic illness, accidents and violence and inveitably died for their abuse trobles. A good 90% of these are the drinkers of a drug called ALCOHOL. You know, the LEGAL ONE.
I have yet to see a cannabis user using succumb to the above.
You will not find cannabis to be the underlying factor behind domestic violence, general violence, child abuse, chronic illness. AND NOBODY HAS DIED ON IT. NOBODY HAS OVERDOSED ON IT. With regards to the cannabis mental illness debate, you will find that the users who have succcumbed to cannabis psychosis is very tiny, records show that they are very young and they have more than like been using 'skunkweed' which is infiltrated with man made chemicals in the process. Also the fact that increasing numbers of children are experiencing mental illness problems without imbibing anything suggests that it is the system that is poisoning their minds and not some recreational drug.
The reason why Cannabis is demonised by the powers that be is that it has the medicinal properties to sabotage private pharmaceutical companies but MORE IMPORTANTLY it allows the user to expand their consciousness, to relax, to enable them to ponder things and work out things for themselves. This of course would have a deeply damaging effect on a system that wishes you only to think what THEY tell you to think or remain below thought where the likes of alcohol takes you.
The legalization of cannabis would have a profound effect on the psyche of humankind. This, however, would not be good for those in charge of this capatalist system whose main task is to continue to keep human consciousness pushed face down in the mud. _________________

As a former tea leaf only smoker (as a teenager it was free and smelt different so looked cool) I have no idea what the effects of cannabis when smoked are. can anyone enlighten me. _________________ JO911B.

the dumbass accounts about cannabis being much stronger nowadays is void because it neglects to point out that so called skunk, is much more expensive per gram than bush or hash. therefore the user uses much less . i personally have found well grown and cured skunk to be much healthier than the hash i used to get. and of course i use less.
