stratton Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 But he's right, so how about putting your view forward instead of name calling. I'm first hand evidence of the fact that it doesn't damage like you claim, I've many friends who would testify to this. I'm sorry if you've seen someone close to you have problems with drugs, it's not an easy thing to experience, but you're being unfair in making such sweeping statements. Maybe that person would have taken whichever route they chose whether or not they had used cannabis, had they used anything besides cannabis, did they blame cannabis, who did blame cannabis? Lots of questions, no need to answer, just saying, that's all. Just like the fella said, alcohol causes many more problems in this world than a bit weed ever did, or will. For the record, I'm not a 'free the weed' campaigner of any sort, I'm quite happy just to get on with my own life and leave others to their's but if people like me don't speak up at times like these then too many folk will carry on with their blinkered view of anyone who might enjoy a different type of tipple to their own particular favourite. Each to their own. thanks for listening Great post i know people who like there bit of smoke keep themselves to themselves do not affect anyone else.Drink is a different thing sometimes causes mayhem costing the tax payer money as you said each to there own.

AndyJ Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 But it is currently illegal sydney - and THAT is surely the point. Isn't it scientifically proven that cannabis is (a) less harmful and ( less addictive than both alcohol and tobacco? According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rational_scale_to_assess_the_harm_of_drugs_%28mean_physical_harm_and_mean_dependence%29.svg this is also true of ecstasy and LSD. As such isn't it ludicrous that the more damaging drugs are legal whilst less harmful ones are still criminalised? If somebody wishes to take these drugs in the privacy of their own home, harming nobody but themselves, then surely it is a gross misuse of public funds arresting and charging such people.

You have a good point WK but is that right to be illegal? i don't smoke never have like a pint though and is that worse ? more and likely it is.

The White Knight Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) You have a good point WK but is that right to be illegal? i don't smoke never have like a pint though and is that worse ? more and likely it is. I believe that it IS right that Cannabis should be illegal sidney. My main reason is that it can be the starting point to getting in to more serious Drugs (please note - I said it CAN be the starting point - not it IS). Also - it IS a proven fact that 'Weed' can be the cause of Paranoia and other Mental problems. For those reasons alone I believe they should remain banned Substances. I too have never taken any Drugs, other than those prescribed by my Doctor obviously, in my life. By the way - in my day 'Weed' meant something that lived in a back garden with some Plant Pots. (you'll need to be getting on to remember them though). Edited August 12, 2013 by The White Knight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anybody who's smoked weed knows the real risks of smoking weed... and that's waking up £20 down because you ordered everything McDonalds had to offer in a munchies frenzy at 1 in the morning! Weed is exactly the same as alcohol except it doesn't turn you violent and it doesn't lower your inhibitions. Wise up. That's not correct. Cannabis contains many of the same chemical nasties that are found in tobacco, so anyone who smokes weed probably doesn't even know the risks of smoking tobacco let alone the risks of smoking weed. I remember George Harrison saying he quit smoking weed when he put some under a microscope and realised what muck he was passing into his brain. Whether it is safer than alcohol is irrelevant. If you argue the case that alcohol is dangerous that doesn't somehow make cannabis safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right funny coming from you who lets be honest are more stubborn in his views than most.The Lee issue i feel strongly about because (ie) none of us know him and also don't know the full circumstances.Maybe we will find out in time ,but i find it amazing that so many people cant find it in there heart to FORGIVE.I have never ever said the offence was right but it is not right just to give up on someone and certainly not to sit there as judge and jury.

Orion whose post you were criticising and telling him to get life, never said what Lee did was unforgivable, he simply said it was against the law and we can't pick and choose which laws we obey and which we ignore. Maybe you think it is ok for people to ignore laws they don't like but I don't think it's reasonable to tell someone to get a life because they say they law should be obeyed. Go back and read your post again and reflect on how stupid you made yourself look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not say that ? that is the problem with you, you keep banging on about having respect for people's opinions but the moment you get into a debate you result to name calling if they don't agree with your own ...this was just another example .
