And of course all the low life dealers who've thus far made a good living out of supplying it will all just retrain to become primary school teachers and pillars of society. There's no way they'll just spend their time pushing more potent drugs, very cheaply at first, in order to lure, then trap people into relying on them once again...

Maybe HMG could make it available free to the unemployed and those on low incomes... :rolleyes:

No it isn't. The reason so many MPs were stretching the definition of "expenses" so far was that they had been told, privately, that if they agreed not to vote themselves pay rises they could go some way towards making it up with some very generous help with their domestic bills.

Or did you never wonder why it was that with so many ridiculous stories in the Telegraph about wisteria, duck houses and 'flipping' of the main residence, so few MPs ended up being prosecuted for actually doing something illegal?

Pierre, Please dont even put me into the same league as Thatcher, l hated the woman and was glad when she died.

I like many others celebrated her death. She can RIP, l was sad that she had so many illnesses when she passed.

Unless of course you're saying that in the Netherlands most people buy from black market dealers .;)



Please show me the medical definition of Cannabis Psychosis.Also please show me the research and papers that conclude that Cannabis CAUSES Schizophrenia.

By the way,I take it you realise that most psychotic breaks reported to Hospitals are a result of Alcohol consumption.... ?

Regulating Cannabis and getting more people to consume it would certainly be much better than drinking alcohol.It really is amazing how many people underestimate how dangerous alcohol is.

By the way,Cannabis will not remain illegal for much longer... Take a look at what happening in the US and elsewhere,the war on drugs is lost and big changes are afoot. Thank God.


Addict or not he certainly seems a good bit more knowledgable on the subject than you are Marty.:p:
No disrespect,but I'd suggest you do a bit more research,you've really been fed a lot of Propaganda there.Can't blame you though,every War relies on good propaganda,especially the un-winnable ones.;)



So the Dutch cannabis market is still in the hands of crooks then? Coffee shops a figment of the imagination?
TBH the reasons you cited will make weed more expensive but also quality controlledPeople will pay for quality.

Will there still be a black market? Of course,but nowhere near what we have now...

Just to make things sparkling clear,I actually totally agree with this Chief Constable:

I'm really sorry to hear about your sister in law Marty.Can you please define 'plain fried' though.
Please don't say she's brain damaged and I also take it she never ever drank any alcohol since you are absolutely convinced it was the cannabis? No history of psychiatric problems?

So you have the smokers anyway smoking unknown strains when the same smokers could be smoking a less psychotic enducing drug ( only 1 in 10 users are susceptible to this anyway )

As I said el gov could do 2 grams for a tenner all of that tenner goes into the coffers production costs and wages come out of it ( taxes taken from this) then the rest is profit no need for tax

Once again criminals make billions the drug is readily available to anyone the law has no chance so imo legalise and have revenue that exists anyway

Or like you want nothing changes tokers smoke what they want and the criminals make the money .

I am a user not an addict
