Cannabis policing relaxed

[Bunjiweb]

well this isnt about "most people" YOU know slick... cus to be fkn honest what u've said is crap.

I'll openly admit if it wasnt obvious enough already that i am a frequent user of cannabis (according to the governments guidlines anything over 2 spliffs a week is!).

I don't have a smokers cough. Infact before i started smoking i suffered from chronic ashma which has since stopped since i started smoking weed.

I can easily go without days smoking it, and i don't smoke cigarrettes either - the only time i smoke tobacco is in a joint.

As for drinking - i know of alot of people who go out drinking every night, get wasted and feel crap the next day.

However for me i might go a few days without a spliff, then go round my mates house, watch some TV, play some computer, then go out for a couple of spliffs, out of the way where we can't cause any trouble.

You tell me how much vandalism has been caused due to the use of cannabis then compare it to alcahol.

Compare the ammount of arrests made per user / week of drunken idiots causing trouble in town compared to some people harmlesly puffing away somewhere.

The fact is, Cannabis isn't a gateway drug. I dont use any other drugs, and i dont intend to, which is the same as a lot of users i know think. Cannabis doesnt cause half the trouble that alcahol does, and to think that Alcahol is legal when weed isn't is utterly ridiculous.

Anyway, i could debate this for hours, but plane and simple, if anyone wants to try and say that alcahol use is much less harmful than cannabis can they please think twice to themselves "Do i use it? do i actually know anyone who does and know proper details rather than ranting complete crap.

If you'd bothered to read my posts in QT you'd have found out I was a regular user and used it nearly everyday for about a year, I quit because it was ruining my life so don't tell me I don't know anything about it. Also in that year I got to know about 50 users and nearly all of them did it every day (not including the ones who just tried it the once). Can you honestly say you have not experienced any signs of mental deterioration from the drug? because I think you're kidding yourself if you say no. Or maybe you know I'm right but enjoy your drug too much to admit it, which may be why I'm getting such a hard time for having my own opinion on the subject.

/me awaits further flaming from cannabis users

[Bunjiweb]

the only side affect i've had is VERY slight memory lapse.

Besides that i've seen no other negative side affects.

Oh and if it was ruining your life you were.. a) obviously smoking absolute crap... b) using it far too much (as with everything too much of one thing is bad for you).... c) not able to control yourself properly if it was taking over your life.

Oh and if all the users in your part of the world are doing it regularly, quite clearly the part of the land you live in is much more prone to kiddy users smoking it because they're cool then getting addicted to the tobacco and smoking cigarrettes aswell..

Anyway, its my opinion, and so it's right just as much as yours is...

However, i feel yours is very much *anti cannabis* without actually thinking everything through...... and even if you WERE a heavy user for a year... that doesnt exactly mean you know everything about it.... No doubt you were one of these who started using it because you thought it would make you look *cool* lol..

Anyho... not one to make a fight am i!...

Thanks for judging me like that having never met me. FYI I started because I was allways curious about it and being told constantly it was harmless, then I liked it so started doing it on a weekends when I went out. I soon got into a circle of friends who also did it and whenever I met up with them we had a smoke, which got into a regular event as they lived very close to me. This happens to lots of people and due to the nature of the drug not having a hangover the next day etc people use it a lot more often.

I found it was ruining my life because it affected my brain which made me do a lot worse at college, it damaged my health, lost motivation in my life etc and my family fell out with me over it. Anyway I think we'll agree to disagree, personally I will never touch the drug again even if it was fully legalised.

well said Bunjiweb. i don't see how the government can say any more than 2 joints a week is heavy use!? either they are totally stupid, or they get amazing weed . i also used to have asthma, and its gone away pretty much totally now (apart from when takin massive bong hits, cos they rip me apart...). me and my mates never cause trouble when we've had a smoke, we just chill out and relax. but if we decide to go out on a night and drink, then trouble starts - fights, vandalism etc... weed mellows people out, which can only be a good thing from watching the drunken idiots try and destroy the bus shelter opposite work 2nite.
the only health problem i can honestly say i have from smokin weed is short-term memory loss, which is a bugger to live with, but i cope. i still work at college, i have a job and i get on with most people (apart from my bro, who keeps calling me a crackhead for some reason..wierd kid). as for it being called a gateway drug, i've been offered all manner of drugs, all of which i have refused. i have taken magic mushrooms, but i sought those out and bought them of my own accord. i tried them because i wanted to know what they would be like, not to move on from weed for a 'harder hit' or whatever. i'm sittin here drinking a beer now, and i know its gonna end up ruining my liver or whatever, but only if i drink about 10 of them tonight, 10 tommorrow night and so on. the key to it all, be it weed, beer, whatever, is moderation. go OTT and you'll feck up, but keep it under control and you'll be fine.

peace and mellowness to all of ya.

Didn't you get an E and 2 Us though for your AS's? I'm not having a go at you but don't you think smoking through the year had anything to do with that? You've allready said that you suffer from memory loss and that can't help. I know it didn't help with my AS's and I got a U because of it, but after quitting after my AS's I managed to get it up to an A for A2. I know 1 person who's managed to smoke cannabis for a long time and is still doing really well at his A levels but I think it's safe to say he's the exception as nearly all the other smokers I know have either quit or are doing badly.

[Swafe]

i have a mate who passed all his A2s, and is goin uni next year

hes also possibly the biggest stoner i know, he does weed every day near enuff, and last sunday bonged pretty much a quart to himself (some achievemnet)

on the flipside ive got a mate who was smart at school, got loads of top passes then ended up with EEUU, hes the kinda guy who would definutly steer clear of drugs, he rarely drinks, and if he does, not much

[Punky]

yes, i did f*ck up my exams, but that was due to lack of work, rather than being stoned. i didn't go get wasted instead of going to lessons or doing homework, i just didn't bother doing it. i stopped smokin weed n drinking for 2 months before my exams in an effort to do well, but it didn't work. i also have a mate who smokes a hell of a lot of weed, every day he's stoned ( as well as being rather green fingered..ahem..), but he got damn good grades and he's now off to uni. you can't blame weed for how people perform accademically, its how much effort the person puts in overall.

Ask a taxi driver! (must be a miniCab) And he will take you to a dealer!

Mind you, I wouldnt trust either...

[Punky]

THCi, thats only the minicab company that's in stourbridge somewhere... you can go there 24 hours for some smoke if ya run out, cos they are always open. good aint it! i never tried any of it, but i been told about it.
p.s. biz... i dunno bout the weed, but knox sells crack to kiddies, so ask him if ya want anything.

[THCi]

This was Waterfront Cars matie.. and a driver I know through a friend. Didnt have any of it though, I was down to my last £10er.. shame though.

But don't you think the lack of motivation to do work may have been a factor? This could have been caused by cannabis.
