classy :facepalm:

That link is interesting. Although it is worth noting that the participants were very young. I had a look at this examination of a number of studies also and i think you are right there looks like there is a link. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2424288/ With this in mind though...

This is an interesting question I think. I wonder how many of the 94% actually want protection from the activity? Personally I would rather they used the diminishing police and justice budget for something that might actually be harmful to me. I consider policing cannabis to be a waste of my...

I know plenty who still like a toke and they are no more lacking than the rest of us. BUt like you say our experiences are different.

I read this before I saw your name and assumed it was another argument for legalisation. I exercised my right to act as I choose for many years and the law told me i was a criminal.

You are using a lazy stereotype to dismiss a wide range of people who smoke cannibis. It really has nothing to do with what they choose to smoke they are just people you find irritating. You can't judge other people on this experience just because they share an enjoyment of cannabis. Sent...

Can you vape (sic?) cannabis? :)

As an option for improving the problems we have been discussing I don't really see rejecting it and putting the dealers out of business as a viable one. I also don't see why people should have to reject it, if it is something they enjoy.

yes and I wish you would get your finger out Kalimantan Gull so we can get it done. I was wondering who was holding the whole thing up.

I agree, there are many different models of legislation that are being tried around the world. All the ones i have read about are working better than the current system of criminalising the drug and its users. Here are a few examples from around the world. I suppose time will tell what is the...

I am far from convinced the effects of a change in legislation will be markedly different from what is being seen elsewhere.

As far as i have read this is not the evidence from countries that have tried it.

The point was that the division of drugs into legal and illegal is scattergun at best and lacks any real logic or joined up thinking. Once one starts to investigate a little it becomes clear that the division of recreational drugs is flawed and there is little logical reason that cannabis should...

Indeed, and if you transfer the same logic to cannabis: This is why i think it would be a great idea to control cannabis use and make sure people knew what they were taking, how strong it is and its likely effects. This is not what happens with prohibition but it would be a big part of legally...

If you read the articles i posted earlier this is exactly what many people are saying (well decriminalised anyway). I think the discussion needs to be had as the war on drugs is being lost and we need to try something else. Portugal is a good case study in this area i believe...

I, and a number of other people I know who have experienced depression and other mental health problems have found that the symptoms are lessened after giving up coffee.

But the message isn't SAY NO TO DRUGS the message is SAY NO TO SOME DRUGS. Coffee is okay, alcohol is okay, prescription drugs are okay. The discussion we are having here isn't that drugs are good or bad because we know that as a whole category they are both. What we are discussing is about if...

I am not sure what the research says about the different effects of the different strength of product. It would be interesting to read the detail of studies to find out what they are actually testing. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Yeah legalise the lot of it. I think we should take control of the drug market to make them safer for users. I also think that any tax revenue created by sales should go into rehabilitation services, safe injection spaces and most importantly proper, honest and accurate education of their uses...

Is that right? that is quite a frightening statistic. My preference would be to legalise the who spectrum but then again i personally think that it is better to legalise drugs across the board to make them safer. But that is probably another discussion.
