This balance between THC and CBD being the crucial factor as to whether the cannabis you take causes psychosis or not was part of the content of a Horizon programme some years ago. It is the high levels of THC and low levels of CBD that makes skunk so dangerous the programme pointed out

Sad to say it's not much use to give us the TV reference when we cannot view that Horizon programme on iPlayer uncleglen.

The important thing is to continue the flow of information, partly to help teenagers stay updated and partly to help long term smokers.

In common with plenty of other readers I expect, lost some dear ol'pals to the negative influence of weed, even though we all read books which told us it was harmless, and believed legalisation was the way forward.

Maybe, maybe.


I like to think about unintended consequences as i like Freakeconomics.


I am in no way glamorising drug dealers/dealing and particularly at the hard end the violence that goes with it etc...but taking it 'off the street' will take A LOT of money off the street and give it to the man - e.g. Glaxo/John Player/ GrassRus plc, etc.


No simple answer BUT that will happen.

Currently the man is a bunch of chaps in Mexico that delight in the most brutal form of governing.

At least Glaxo can put some of the profits into drugs that save lives and stuff.


The drugs trade is hideously taxed, just not by the man or by Osborne. It certainly isn't some leveller picking up the little guy, it's just misery and exploitation across the entire supply chain.


Legalise it.


As for skunk, well it has it's moments, but I'm old fashioned and I never really did see eye to eye with all this green stuff, natural or no.


Not that I've been within a country mile of the stuff since about 2001

But what a great opportunity when they apply for jobs in the shops 'relevant experience: 10 years dealing; relevant knowledge: an anoraks discernment on very nuance of weed and resin' the jobs yours, just don't steal from me or I'll shoot you....sorry, force of habit....

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
