Yes Chris, some people should never touch the stuff (just like alcohol), yet I know others which it's actually is beneficial to.

Cheers.

Chris like any drug there are good and bad effects .

Pot can be harmful to young people under 21 but so is grog too .

And i put it to you it is more harm full and is even harder to stop because of the physical addiction where pot is not a physically addictive drug .

Yet you can buy grog everywhere .

Making a drug illegal only servers the interests of the criminal gangs and Mafis's

As America found with prohibition .Grog is more controlled after it was legalised then it was when it was illegal .

I personally think people are hypocrites when they say pot should be illegal but not grog.

of all the drugs out there pot is the least harmful and in fact is now starting to be proved to be beneficial .

As one scientist said everyone should be a little stoned as the world would be a calmer and happy'r place as THC the active drug is the only natural drug for the brain that does not harm it when not used to excess as the brain has natural receptors for THC to lock onto .

Unlike grog witch is a poison and not that different than drinking petrol

It would also make a lot off good people out there not criminals or have to go to criminals to get the stuff

How can you expect a young person to say ow pot is bad when they can get there hands on plenty of grog and after drinking it end up King hitting someone and killing them and expect them to listen about pot . It's a joke .

Give me a neighbor that smokes any day over a alco at least the pot head will have his smoke then probably crash out . The drinker will play loud music till all hours then end up in a fight with the very people there drinking with and your left held up in your home while a siege tasks place because of some drunken idiot

Moderation is the key word. I personally have been conducting research on a pretty much daily basis for apx 45 years and I deem pot to be potentially less dangerous than booze, however I like both.

I think it's legal in my state. My girlfriend lives in Denver, Colorado.
You can get it there. But she told me mandatory drug tests are required, for jobs.
I just want to try it one time.

Lynn you mite not know this but if you do try it even once it will be in your blood for about a month . It may even show up in your urine . So if you work in a place where you may get drug tested i would find out what there policy says . Just because it's in your blood does not mean you will be stoned .

Also remember depending on how strong it is you will be off your face for at least 36 hrs so i would only do it on a Friday night so you can be assured your not still stoned on the Monday when you go back to work .

It's quit funny to watch someone that has never try'd it .

"I don't feel anything , this is not working " and then the next thing they can't stop laughing or get the muncheys (hungry) or get lost on there way to Macca's .

" where have you been for the last 2 hrs ? , and where's the food " , " umm i can't find it , where did you say it was " and you point at the big yellow arches "over there about 100 meters away " , then you look at each other and fall over laughing .

and yes this has happened very funny

Pot is the one drug that can help me relax and get to sleep at night and wake up the next morning with a clear head. When I can get it I only partake at home and just before lying down for a nap or a night's sleep.

Here in Florida there is a big public referendum on election day to get marijuana partially legalised. The lies being told on both sides are ludicrous.

Glenn, I smoked a doobie and drank at the same time. Not a good mix.
I don't work, and care less about tests. Dr. Sanjay Gupta did a special and said the stuff is pretty safe.

It's quit funny to watch someone that has never try'd it .

"I don't feel anything , this is not working " and then the next thing they can't stop laughing or get the muncheys (hungry) or get lost on there way to Macca's .

and yes this has happened very funny

I don't think it's funny at all! 23 years ago after finishing a heavy week got invited to what seemed like a pleasant party that Friday night. In attendance were several colleagues.

Later that evening, I ran out of cigarettes & being a heavy nicotine addict, I accepted a rollup - big mistake! For exactly the reasons you pointed out. I was off duty on the Saturday but had a long run to do on the Sunday.

Fortunately I had an understanding boss who got that run covered but wanted to deal harshly with the colleague who gave me that joint.

Instead, I dealt with it & harshly at that, as that so called colleague put my HGV license at risk.

I cannot see any scientific views being posted here so cannot help but sense that the "scientific" labelling is a way around the rules as shown here: -

[edit] Sorry for your bad experience Sirius:(

It wasn't that bad, but "pot" users finding it funny which makes me think that they have a "funny" sense of what is right or wrong. My motto has always been "live & let live" but that incident went over the line.

Personally, I think that anyone in the public sector, especially the transport industry found to be a drug user should be sacked, prosecuted & imprisoned.

As for moving it to the café? Has the moderation rules changed that abruptly since the 9th Feb?

Not at all but in making that statement, you've proved a point I've been making for some time.

The rules are often being interpreted by individuals as they see them. T'A's thread was stomped on pretty quickly & effectively.

So far, all that can be seen are personal anecdotes rather than "Scientific" views.

If one cannot comment on the past & present, what hope is there for the future?
