Maaan...this is some bullshit!

[dj slums]

I don't think its bullshit.Im all for legalisation but there is no doubt that it causes intense paronoia and in many cases schizophrenia.Cases are seriously increasing with the strength of modern cannabis.I gave up years ago due to the paronoia.I would be happy to smoke some natural soil grown Weed but i simply cant get hold of it all you can get is highgrade mindfuck skunk.
Legalise it and people will be able to grow their own and not smoke overpriced paronoia inducing sand weed.

Paranoia yes, but Marijuana does not cause shizophrenia.

These reports are based on biased , junk science. If you beleive this you are buying into government propaganda, and behaving exactly how they want you to.

Sativas are known to be paranoia inducing ,while Indicas are less likely to cause paranoia.

You need to find, yourself a good indica!!!!!!

not just that, the other issue is the amount people smoke. like any drug, too much is a bad thing, and true drug abuse is when you do too much and make yourself poorly.
ive recently quit. was making me feel anxious all the time, n i was spending over 450 per month on it. thats too fucking much. and im not the only person spending that much.
like i say, real issue is with amounts. theres just no need to get off your face.
also, i think if somone invented somthing you could put in baccy to make it just taste like a spliff, i'd be sorted. main thing i miss is the taste of a spliff. not the effects....

Did post it in another weed thread, but doubt we'd be flooded with skunk if normal hashish was readily available and imported legally.

There was a similar stupid bit of legislation the other year when they dropped cannabis to class C but then put the penalty for dealing it up to a maximum 14 years jail. Rather than put them off selling weed, it actually made a lot of weed dealers also start selling coke as the profits were generally higher and the sentence the same.

Strains are only actually 2-3 times higher than previous grass though, not 20-30x. You'd probably enter a coma if it was that strong. And nobody mentions that alcohol can be a big trigger for schizophrenia too, probably because it makes huge amounts of dosh for the government.

Don't think the uk's fit for legalisation until it actually learns to use intoxicants wisely, which judging from booze use it doesn't seem to.

i love weed
we have loved each other since 1990
its decriminalised, even to grow it, for everyone in my state
use it, dont abuse it

long live weed

[owengriffiths]

I saw someone in another forum say how it is purely because drugs are illegal that they are often so high strength

In my country it's the other way round, as years go by they are becoming weaker and weaker, ESPECIALLY the demon weed, grass/skunk being very very rare, soapbar is a stoner's bread & butter. They need some Thatcher style economics, competition making the product quality better

[tempest]

moderation is the key... the occasional spliff vs the everyday morning to night bong punching... too much of anything will fuck with you, especially a hallucinogenic/depressant whatever...

only my opinion and experience tho
