Re: Baby with cancer cured through marijuana?
The point is that the effect or outcomes are the same regardless of the legality.
Addict steals due to his addiction is it any worse if he is addicted to legal alcohol or illegal heroin? Making it illegal has not solved this problem.

Yes of course.
And what about flashbacks etc? Alcohol works it's way out of your system, drugs ***** with your mind.

Legalisation and regulation of the manufacturing and supply of recreational drugs should happen.
Canabis has benefits for sufferers of certain diseases (MS for example) and needs further testing to find out what other benefits it could have. However the levels of THC in the current supply available in the UK are through the roof and I "believe" this is responsible for a number of mental health issues within young adults in the UK. Regulation of the supply could go a long way to stemming this problem.

Many studies show nicotine to be more physically addictive than heroin and cocaine. (http://www1.umn.edu/perio/tobacco/nicaddct.html) and it kills many, many more people than illegal drugs combined. Booze ruins people's lives too. Ever lived with a proper alcoholic (not the jolly functional type, I mean the type that has a complete and usually negative personality change after a few drinks).
Not convinced about flash backs and cannabis use. After years of heavy use in the UK during Uni and knowing a lot (as in most folk I knew) who regularly smoked it I only ever encountered one person who had an adverse reaction to weed and he used to smoke heavy skunk day in, day out by the bucket load.

Re: Baby with cancer cured through marijuana?
self regulation comes with age mate, and even then to some it never comes
the newly 'of-age' with any form of paying job tend to go nuts when they are allowed to pub it and some of them end up either jobless, or in accidents etc
if you legalize pot, your throwing another variable in there
I say legalize the drug (only pot, nothing heavier) only AFTER you hit 38 and can show a good credit and job history along with a nice bank statement.
Sort of like applying for a visa, walk in to a government controlled / regulated office with your papers and say 'Hello, I would like to buy some pot please'
Go through the membership process and get a valid Membership card which can be used to buy from local pot-shops
We might be on to something here!

How can you say that someone like me who is well qualified, in a good job, very very well traveled and has lived in 6 different countries on three continents cannot be trusted to make up my own mind when it comes to having a joint or two. Lunacy!
21 maybe.

Re: Baby with cancer cured through marijuana?
I am vehemently anti drugs, well except my 40 a day Marlboro habit and my love of all alcohol except Port and desert wine
I do love the way people rattle on about legalizing it and then the government can get the taxes and spend it on old peoples homes and schools for the handicapped
If they ever did go down this route and I doubt Middle England would ever it permit it, then they would tax the shit out of it. You would only be able to get some low tar equivalent so what would happen is exactly the same as happens now with fags and booze. You buy a couple of cartons or bottles from the bloke in the pub car park who has just come back from Poland.
You could down the ozzie route and let people grow the stuff in their back yards without hindrance as long as they don't flog it on. Happy days. But look at the rates of mental illness in Oz.
I'll stick with my Marlboro and Matusalem platino.
I remember chatting with a bloke in Oz who was quite open about the fact that for 2 years he was a full time cultivator with all the lights and water systems in his house etc. Was reaping crop after crop but after he had paid for his sons uni abroad he put another couple of crops through to buy his caravan and make like the grey nomad for a few years. He did say that he had to rip the inside of the house when he had finished as the smell kept coming through no matter how many times they painted it.
That shit cant be good for you

The weedoholics will now use this dubious story to persuade us all that it should be legal.

But you should try and overcome your teaching background a little and have an open mind on some things. Hard to do I understand when you are used to learning by rote, 20 years in the desert teaching Saudis how to:
- The letters of the English alphabet (intermediate class)
- Put them in the right order (advanced class)

So that would mean that I would be ineligible for another 4 years..... really... that's a crazy idea.

well I just threw that number out there since I am now 38 and feel that am in a good position for self regulation, thats all
but for serious debate purposes, 21? no way, that is way way too early mate
maybe 30
or maybe an individual interview system and the end result should be based on their answers and not on their age
the point made a while ago that why let the underworld / terrorists be the only one benefiting from the crazy profit margins of the drug trade, I totally agree with

So im still confused with the original point:
Did marijuana "cure" the kid or is it poppycock ?

Now to the point of making money out of marijuana.
I wonder if there could be an commodities exchange for dope ?
I suppose people would want full delivery of their options !

There is a test to detect THC levels already. My don't-touch-drugs husband was the only person in his firm who could calibrate extremely sensitive x-ray machines used for airport security because everybody else's THC levels sent the machines mental.
