Cannabis

[Jah Lush]

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.

You?d have worse problems if you had to deal with pissed up people.

[KidKruger]

i usually associate the skinniness of such characters as an indicator of class A drug use, not necessarily cannabis.

having said that, aggression, paranoia and similar behaviours are often bed-fellow behaviours of psychosis from cannabis (esp. the really strong stuff).

[Jah Lush]

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.

Agree with you Jah, that smoking weed does not cause mental illness, and I believe that since skunk became available

smokers, especially younger ones, seem more addicted. I've never thought of cannabis as highly addictive, as say

tobacco, but I think skunk has changed that.

[felt-tip]

skunk is horrible.

Everything has its place.

I wouldn't sit around puffing it all day (er, not any more anyway) but if you're going to a festival and filling your boots with all the rest, nothing other then skunk will really touch the sides.

The problem with skunk is that it's so widely in demand (I blame 'the youth' - and indeed 'the meeja' for glorifying the stuff massively at every opportunity) that it's hard to find any decent alternatives amongst the duff resin and commercial weed full of twigs usually on offer.

fair comment Bob. just hurts my back is all.

It is known as the"leaf of delusion" in India. Reading some of the post,and noting how they defend it, you can see why. Of course some on here dont need drugs. They just get high on their own egotism.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Your posts would suggest a surplus of healthy ego yourself tarot

[*Bob*]

They're also the only posts that 'look stoned'

[felt-tip]

India you say... how very in vogue. I shall adopt this mantra immediately.

[Tarot]

Some people like "the yoof" taking skunk. That way they can control them, Turning them into dealers, to make money for them. Criminal or cool. Lives are stolen by it.

[*Bob*]

You haven't been watching those 'V' box sets again, have you Tarot?

It's not good for you.

[Tarot]

Sean you spotted it,you and I have something in common. Wonders never cease.

[Pearson]

Just out of curiosity Tarot, what made you start a thread about Cannabis?

There are many vices, why this?

[Jah Lush]

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.

[Tarot]

I had a friend once, who took it to wind down. He wound down so far he couldnt work,he got the sack. He went on to pester all his friends for money to get his fix. It went on from there ,he chased the dragon, His marriage broke up after he beat his wife up. Moved in with his mother, beat her up got her in debt,and smashed her home up. He did die in Kings , overdose.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Fair play to the Muslims tho, they frown on cannabis use. Now you have something in common with them too

Another thing that strikes me is that we have met before. On here I mean, not some other life

[Pearson]

You're implying that's all down to Cannabis?

Seems to me 'chasing dragons' may have played a more pivotal role to your friend demise.

[Tarot]

No Jah Lush, I dont need emotional crutches. People say you dont know till you try this and that, Just watchig the damage it causes. Thats as near as i wuold want to get. They say its a man who rules his own mind is richer than any king.

[Jah Lush]

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.

[Jah Lush]

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

[SeanMacGabhann]

They say a diet rich in cod is healthy. I'm not so sure

[*Bob*]

It's a this point in the debate that I'd like to introduce a picture of a man holding-up a gigantic rabbit.
