Th...Oh dear, another self-righteous moral guardian. The evidence for cannabis actually causing mental complications is sketchy at best. I sincerely doubt having a joint is going to send you over the edge, or else 60 odd percent of the population would be loons. Of course people might run into problems if they smoke like chimneys, but that's the same old story with everything. All things in moderation. I don't hear people moaning about pubs for causing alcoholism. Actually, maybe you've already started a petition on that. Come on, seriously, learn to live a little.Salman Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666602695883296069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1155062740852816572006-08-08T19:45:00.000+01:002006-08-08T19:45:00.000+01:00Hmmm.And what about cannabis itself making life he...Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>And what about cannabis itself making life hell, for all those people who experience severe mental health problems as a result of its use, eh?<BR/><BR/>Where's the petition commending the CPS for prosecuting these irresponsible people?

I haven't got a problem with cigarettes either (and I don't smoke, well, in the legal sense). Not all of us the same on the left.<BR/><BR/>Rather like I am vegetarian but have no problems with meat eaters or people eating meat/fish as long as I don't have to eat it.<BR/><BR/>Oh and Sappho, I agree with what you say about drugs. The state never really tells you about the side-effects from some legal drugs and pain killers have some vile effects. And the long-term impact legal drugs can have on your body again informed choices aren't an option nor are exploring alternatives.Louisefeministahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279991897445225597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1154340551839170972006-07-31T11:09:00.000+01:002006-07-31T11:09:00.000+01:00I find it very odd that there is general support f...I find it very odd that there is general support for decriminalisng drugs on the left, but heaven forbid that anyone should light a cigarrette ... ...ANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901425044840795347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1154311385484509442006-07-31T03:03:00.000+01:002006-07-31T03:03:00.000+01:00Nice one, cheers.

Personally I'm for the legalisation of most drugs on principle; I think it would help to solve a lot of problems, from safety to violent drug crime. But that the positive medical benefits of cannabis should be ignored becuase of outdated laws is both inhumane and unscientific.Salman Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666602695883296069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1154218277312029412006-07-30T01:11:00.000+01:002006-07-30T01:11:00.000+01:00A good friend of mine smokes dope as a way of coun...A good friend of mine smokes dope as a way of counteracting the pain he experiences on his right side of his body due to physical damage. He was originally presscribed painkillers shaped like horse pills which caused more side-effects and made him feel worse. He has weighed up the pros and cons of smoking dope and he finds he can cope better smoking a spliff.<BR/><BR/>I had a work-related accident and my neck and shoulder blade were damaged. The prescribed drugs did not work though the dope did relieve the pain somewhat.Louisefeministahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279991897445225597noreply@blogger.com
