Well I don't know what it does mean, it reads to me like you're saying I must be lacking some way, maybe cognitively, I don't know.
I cannot see anywhere that I've been ignorant on the subject, my points seem to be correct. If there's a point I've made that's incorrect, it should be easy for you...
It's not a low blow, because Stoneham is making it clear he has no issues. I haven't ignored facts - you two said that the other day, I ask what these facts are, and you don't respond.
You made remarks about me in this thread:
"You do argue for the sake of it, you've done so for many years, and I genuinely think you get off on it, for reasons unknown. Although I could probably guess fairly accurately. "
An issue I've posted on and support everyone on.
Oh sorry, is it only ok for him to take the piss, but no one can take the piss back?
For clarity, apart from his biased comments in this thread, I'm unaware of any mental health issues he does or doesn't have.
What, a report suggesting cannabis may be bad for your mental health? Surely not.
"One of the problems in trying to assess a causal relationship between cannabis and mental health outcomes is the chicken or egg issue. Is it that people who are prone to mental health problems are more attracted...
I would imagine some would. If they can grab something easily and get high, and especially if it's cheaper than alcohol, then yes.
Would the weed do them less harm than the alcohol? If so, then yes, why not?
No, of course not all homeless people were alcoholics.
More people drink alcohol than have cannabis, so that alone is going to have an impact on the numbers. Also, just because alcohol can damage lives is not a great reason to legalise another drug just because it might not damage as many.
I've...
My main concern would be long term mental health. Maybe there's very little risk, and that would be great. But I don't think we have a lot of data to show that there is not risk in the long term.
Well I'm not relying on anything, and underlying problems make it harder to know what the truth is.
Not sure. A glass of red a day is supposed to be good for your heart isn't it?
Because it's legal for them to be drinking beer, and they can grab it for a couple of pounds from the nearby off-license.
Most of that sounds about right.
Why does alcohol cause more harm? Is it because you can get it from the supermarket, get have it with you meals out, and then go around all the pubs in town downing loads more with your mates? Is there evidence to suggest that an alcoholic beverage a day is worse...
I'm not cherry picking. You mentioned about use going down with decriminalisation, and I thought that wasn't correct, so I quickly googled it. I typed "cannabis does use reduce with decriminalisation" into google, and clicked on the first link that looked like it might provide an answer (which...
Which argument? The argument I was having was regarding btnbelle's point, and dave's response. I was correct about that, so I don't know what you're talking about?
Are you high?
Wrong.
I didn't avoid that point, because I didn't read that point. If decriminalising it would lead to less consumption, that would be a good thing IMO. Although I guess Stoned will disagree, as it's good for you, not bad for you, so decriminalising it will mean less people benefit from it :rolleyes...
Since StonedhamPark referred to people having their argument dismantled, I guess he wasn't referring to me.
When I'm wrong, I always say so. You're quite right though, that is rare.
I didn't ignore it, I missed it, or skimmed over it, as I was mostly responding to dave's posts.
If more people take it throughout their lives, I think that will have a negative effect on their long term health, and therefore have an effect on the NHS.
