Indeed. Alcoholism. I came pretty close to that when I was younger. I was probably a classic binge drinker and I had acute pancreatitis eight times between 28 and 35 due to my excessive drinking. Never got ill on drugs though. Hmmm... think I might skin one up. Nah! maybe tomorrow.

That's a huge generalisation about people who smoke cannabis DJKQ and complete and utter bollocks. I think younger people smoke more, I know I certainly did. Young people binge drink and I suppose you could call what your alluding to binge smoking and that's just silly. I like an occasional spliff sometimes when I get in from work especially if I'm feeling a bit stressed out to help me relax but that's about it. I don't need any more. It works for me.

100 Arf!

You've got that one wrong Mac. If you're having mental problems don't use cannabis if you haven't by all means make your own choice. I've been a recreational smoker of the herb for 37 years. I've taken just about every drug you can think of. I did bucket loads of acid as a teenager when it was the real thing, cocaine and ecstasy too. I like to think I'm a pleasant pleasure seeking individual. I'm not really interested in doing any of that any more though I still like the occasional smoke. I'm reasonably healthy. I've never gotten addicted to anything (apart from cigarettes) and I've never been out of work and I own my flat. If something doesn't work for you don't do it. It's that simple.

Hmmm... yes must be way past his/her bedtime.

Looks like Hicks and Gillett are doing everything they can to hang on to the club and mess it up even further by stopping any sale going through. Bastards!

Tackling is a lost art these days. As great a footballer as he is Paul Scholes has never been able to tackle. Too often his mis-timed challenges have resulted in bookings or sendings off. The challenge the lad at Wolves did at the weekend was nothing short of assault. Absolutely appalling challenge. But you can't take tackling out of the game otherwise becomes a non-contact sport. It's part of the game and a great skill to have in your armoury so why is it such a dying art?

It's a boy's name. Maybe s/he's confused.

He won't get to the point because he hasn't fecking clue what he's talking about.

Cannabis is not a gateway drug. That's just old tabloid bullshit. You're "friend" was obviously a heroin addict and if that's the case you and his family have my sympathy. I lost a few friends to smack a long time ago.

You're full of shit and you don't know what you're talking about. Go figure.

You don't OD on cannabis. Sounds like your "friend" was a smack addict. Chasing the dragon is smoking heroin. You're getting your drugs mixed up.

Indeed. And you still haven't answered my question. Do you or have you ever smoked cannabis? Tell us about your own experience not something you've read out of Daily Mail or watched on telly.

Exactly Brendan. How much violence is caused by excessive drinking by pissed up idiots who can't handle their drink. Blockheads who just want to have fight when their drunk. Anybody working in casualty in a hospital will you that most of the people they get through their doors every weekend are taken up by binge drinking drunks.

Ridgely you never used get people getting violent on the herb. They were too stoned. People who are susceptible to mental illness shouldn't smoke cannabis. It makes their symptoms worse. I don't like skunk. Skunk is far too high in THC. I do not remember so many cases of mental illness through smoking cannabis/marijuana since the advent of hydroponic skunk. It just didn't happen.

What ratty said. It's a natural herb and has many good uses. Your ill informed comments show just how ignorant you are about the subject. Have you not tried it?

Hmmm... as nice as it is I think picking up the phone and telling them how much you love them would have been a lot better. I hope they know your EDF moniker. Both of my parents are long gone now and of course I miss them. Once they're gone they're gone. Remember that.

What about 'em Karter? Are you putting your hand up and volunteering the future organising of the drinks? Eh? No. Thought not.

Pointless thread of the week. Excellent. Good work Mac.

You've only got to blow on an Arsenal player and he'll go down. Nasri's dive at White Hart Lane a couple of weeks ago for their first penalty epitomised that.

Fashion is transient. In one day out the next. I feel I know what suits me and it maybe a little ragged but I'm comfortable with it and that's all that matters. Tracksuits as day wear though is beyond shite.
