Without any of that information it's just more government propaganda to justify their war on drugs.



What users might those be and do you have any examples you'd like to cite? Or are you going to simply point your finger back to the same government and media propaganda sources that tell everyone Cannabis use is bad because it's politically expedient for them to want to do so?

You appear to have a very anti-Cannabis stance yet can't back any of your claims up with a single shred of evidence beyond posting a link to an American government drugs site that says Cannabis is bad!

Fortunately there has been some really intelligent posts on this subject in this thread by people who really understand the issues. But sad that the same government and media fueled hysteria about how bad it is still seems to pervade some minds that can't think for themselves and don't appear to have the slightest clue with regards to the issues that surround the subject matter.

I wasn't aware the Americans were the only place on the planet that's outlawed the stuff. Better not tell that to California, they could get a ticket for that!

You and Cman will get along just fine. In fact, you both write so similarly, it's as if you're the same person!

For as many reports that say cannabis is harmful, I can probably show you just as many that say it isn't. Who to believe?

Incidentally, swop out the words marijuana and cannabis for alcohol and that article will actually start to make some sense.

Not me, as I don't smoke, I would not mind someone cooking me some cakes though :fingerscrossed:

Probably tried a lot of other things that I should not have, There is a few things I have avoided and I think now I am approaching a older age I doubt I will try them.
