Re: Weedy topic!
What trained researchers might those be? The ones working for and being paid by the American government, who just happens to be fighting a war on drugs? What methodology are they using? What's the sample size? How are they reaching those conclusions and what are the basing them on?
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.

Anyway, welcome to the zoo. You and Cman will get along just fine. In fact, you both write so similarly, it's as if you're the same person!
Truly a match made in heaven! When does the next show begin? I can't wait

Maybe you'll publish your own research papers one day and kindly enlighten us all.

Try this one then from the UK Royal College or do they not have a clue either ?

Over the past few years, research has strongly suggested that there is a clear link between early cannabis use and later mental health problems in those with a genetic vulnerability - and that there is a particular issue with the use of cannabis by adolescents.
Strongly suggested. That means that can't or don't have sufficient evidence to prove conclusively there is a causal link. They just think it.Genetic vulnerability. That means those people already pre-disposed to developing those type mental disorders can increase the risk of producing them by Cannabis use.
No-one said Cannabis was suitable for everyone, in precisely the same way that alcohol isn't suited to everyone either.
I'm still waiting for you to produce some hard concrete evidence to backup and support your views that Cannabis is harmful because so far you've been unable to do so. Any deaths been caused by it? Any real health problems? Any harm to society of an adult making a free-will choice of consuming Cannabis?
You can't do it, yet you still continue to peddle the view that it's harmful to society. You simply paraphrase and repeat what the government and media tell you to believe.

Re: Weedy topic!
You believe all of that published by the American government do you? They're not biased in any way really are they? Do you always believe everything governments tell you? Do you always believe everything the media tells you?
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.

I'd be interested to see how many people on this forum have actually partaken of the "evil weed"

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.

Re: Weedy topic!
I used to go to a nightclub many years ago in Bognor, the doormen, man mountains they were... used to ask us... "Come on then son, you got any drugs on ya?"... we used to look at them with innocent eyes and say... "No sir, none at all" To which they would reply, "Want some?"
Anyway... Just say no Mitz... drugs are bad for you, they will make you grow a ponytail and take up driving girly sportscars....
