THE TRUTH ABOUT CANNABIS

It's Britain's worst kept secret.

Even though it's illegal, more than 15 million people have tried it - including a third of all British teenagers and, by their own admission, a select group of Government ministers.

In Real Life: Should I Smoke Dope?, Nicky Taylor, an immersive journalist and single mum, embarks on a fact-finding mission to discover the truth about smoking cannabis.

Her journey mimics most people's first foray into cannabis culture - it's both funny and sometimes frightening.

In order to separate the science from the fiction, Taylor travels to Amsterdam and works in a coffee shop selling cannabis, seeing first-hand what the effects of cannabis are on everyday life.

It becomes apparent that the effects are unpredictable - no experience is the same and it varies according to one's mood, environment and, crucially, the strength of the cannabis.

In Dutch coffee shops, customers can roughly assess the strength of what they are buying because cannabis is graded according to its THC content - this is one of the active ingredients in cannabis that produces the "high effect".

The problem in Britain is that there is no way of regulating or knowing what is being dealt on the streets, and the cannabis most commonly found on sale, "skunk", is very strong.

Going on patrol with Dutch police in Amsterdam, Taylor hears a police officer make the case for their tolerant attitude to the sale and use of cannabis in coffee shops.

Back in the UK, Taylor accompanies the Peterborough police who are concerned about the use of both alcohol and cannabis by teenagers.

She talks to one of the kids who is open about his psychological addiction to the drug.

She also discovers the huge growth of an underground industry in Britain's suburbs cultivating hybridised genetically modified cannabis in ordinary houses converted to greenhouses.

I'm thinking of going to Amsterdam for a few days in January when I'm eighteen. The closest I can get to being high right now is cutting the filter off a cigarette. :D

[phemohilia]

It's unbelievably criminal the way marijuana has been made illegal, not only that but to cast such an evil reputation onto such a healing and valuable NATURAL PLANT!!!

But, this IS the world we live in......

Well we you understand that the people who are responsible for this draconian law are there to represent the interests of evil people then you understand why it remains illegal.

Smoked a fair bit when I was a student, usually Jamaican sensi. It was good stuff back then with nowt taken owt. Used to hang out with some West Indian lads playin dominoes with there dads in the Caribbean Club. Oh happy days.

I wouldn't touch the stuff thats around these days, too much THC not enough CBD plus the wanker dealers like sprayin there shit with crack, smack,meth and other goodies to keep you hooked and fucked up :mad:

Skunk is shite.

Best stuff I ever smoked was the natural herb in Africa, specifically Gambia, Kenya, Senegal. You could smoke that stuff all day and get on with what you were doin with a smile on your face. Only resin I smoked was some gold seal bought off a bouncer at the Hacienda. Nice but marijuana is better. :D

Legalise the herb asap.

Yes you give yet more arguments to end prohibition.

It's not true to say it's all much stronger, yes there are some stronger strains around, but you tend to use yes, and yes some unscrupulous criminals add all sorts of crap, but not all. The strong cannabis myth has been created in recent years as a feeble attempt by our Government to end the tide towards legalisation.

Of course, if you are worried about what might have been added, then the home gardening route would be the best, but the Nazis would have you imprisoned for growing your own, instead of funding the criminal black market (makes you wonder who they are really interested in protecting - wakey wakey please!)

Once again, if you have not listened to Ed Stratton who is a medicinal marijuana user that has refused a police caution for growing his own medication to alleviate his suffering and is seeking a Judicial Review of the Government's classification of cannabis, arguing they are incompatible with the European Human Rights Act and also the Misuse of Drug Act itself, which was originally legislated to protect public health.

Unlocking a Cure for Cancer – With Pot

by Paul Armentano

Who could imagine that cannabis might one day offer hope as a cure for cancer? The United States government, that’s who.

For the past 30 years, U.S. officials have willfully ignored clinical research indicating that marijuana can inhibit the growth of certain type of malignant tumors. However, the recent publication of a trio of clinical studies and a pair of scientific reviews have effectively blown the lid off "Cancergate," and revealed that pot’s medical value may be far greater than ever presumed.

THE EMERGING EVIDENCE

Last year, five scientific journals published prominent articles trumpeting cannabinoids (compounds in marijuana) as potential anti-cancer agents.

These include:

* Clinical trial data published in January 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Society of Clinical Investigation that found cannabinoids significantly inhibit skin tumor growth in mice. Investigators of the study concluded, "The present data indicate that local cannabinoids administration may constitute an alternative therapeutic approach for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer."
* Clinical trial data published in the March 2003 issue of The FASEB Journal that found that the "local administration of a non-psychoactive cannabinoid inhibits angiogenesis (tissue growth) of malignant gliomas (brain tumors)."
* A clinical review in the October 2003 issue of the prestigious journal Nature Reviews Cancer that concluded that cannabinoids’ "favorable drug safety profile" and proven ability to inhibit tumor growth make them desirable agents in the treatment of cancer. According to the review’s author, tumors inhibited by cannabinoids include: lung carcinoma, glioma, thyroid epithelioma, lymphoma/leukemia, skin carcinoma, uterus carcinoma, breast carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, and neuroblastoma (a malignant tumor originating in the autonomic nervous system or the adrenal medulla and occurring chiefly in infants and young children).
* Clinical trial data published in the November 2003 issue of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics that found the administration of the cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) inhibits the growth of human glioma cells both in vitro (e.g., a petri dish) and in animals in a dose-dependent manner. Investigators concluded, "Non-psychoactive CBD produce[s] a significant antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting a possible application of CBD as an antineoplastic agent (something which prevents the growth of malignant cells.)"
* And finally, a clinical review in the December 2003 issue of the journal Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets that summarized "the demonstrated antitumor actions of cannabinoids," and elaborated on "possible avenues for the future development of cannabinoids as antitumor agents."

AND SUBSEQUENT MEDIA BLACKOUT

Despite these stunning findings, media coverage of them in North America has been virtually non-existent. As noted by Richard Cowan, editor of the website MarijuanaNews.com, "The New York Times, The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times all ignored this story, even though its newsworthiness is indisputable: a benign substance occurring in nature destroys deadly brain tumors."

Why the media blackout? For starters, all of these studies were conducted overseas. And secondly, not one of them has been acknowledged by the U.S. government.

U.S. KNEW IN ’74... AND AGAIN IN ’96!

This wasn’t always the case. In fact, the first ever experiment documenting pot’s anti-tumor effects took place in 1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the behest of the U.S. government. The results of that study, immortalized in an August 18, 1974 Washington Post newspaper feature, were that "THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."

Despite these favorable preliminary findings, U.S. government officials banished the study, and refused to fund any follow up research until conducting a similar – though secret – study in the mid-1990s. That study, conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program to the tune of $2 million concluded that mice and rats administered high doses of THC over long periods had greater protection against malignant tumors than untreated controls. However, rather than publicize their findings, government researchers shelved the results – which only became public one year later after a draft copy of its findings were leaked in 1997 to the journal AIDS Treatment News, which in turn forwarded the story to the national media.

Nevertheless, in the nearly eight years since the completion of the National Toxicology trial, the U.S. government has yet to fund a single additional study examining pot’s potential as an anti-cancer agent.

SCIENCE IGNORED NO MORE

Fortunately, researchers at Madrid, Spain’s Complutense University, School of Biology have generously picked up where U.S. researchers so abruptly left off. In 1998, the research team – led by investigator Manuel Guzman – discovered that THC can selectively induce program cell death in brain tumor cells without negatively impacting the surrounding healthy cells. Then in 2000, Guzman’s team reported in the journal Nature Medicine that injections of synthetic THC eradicated malignant gliomas (brain tumors) in one-third of treated rats, and prolonged life in another third by six weeks. A commentary to the study noted that the results were the first to convincingly demonstrate that cannabis-based treatments may successfully combat cancer.

Today, Guzman believes that enough favorable clinical evidence exists supporting pot’s anti-cancer properties to warrant clinical trials in humans. "The scientific community has gained substantial knowledge of the palliative and anti-tumor actions of cannabinoids during the past few years," Guzman wrote in the October 2003 issue of Nature Reviews Cancer. "Anti-tumor compounds should selectively affect tumor cells [and] it seems that cannabinoids can do this, as they kill [malignant] tumor cells but do not affect their non-transformed counterparts and might even protect them from cell death. ... As cannabinoids are relatively safe compounds, it would be desirable that clinical trials using cannabinoids ... could accompany [ongoing] laboratory studies to allow us to use these compounds in the treatment of cancer." Guzman concludes the article by noting that the Spanish Ministry of Health recently approved a human clinical trial – the first ever – aimed at investigating the effects of intracranially administered THC on the life expectancy of volunteers suffering from malignant brain tumors.

"Cannabinoid research continues to show tremendous potential in the treatment of cancer," summarizes University of Southern California professor Mitch Earleywine, author of the book Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence. However, he laments that the "vast majority of this work originates outside the United States, often in countries that lack our economic and scientific advantages. Let’s hope that our drug policy won’t stymie the battle against the second leading cause of death in America."

Indeed. Let’s not add a potential treatment for cancer to the ever-growing list of victims of pot prohibition.

The Cannabis story is like a condensed version of the 'Big Conspiracy' story, the lies about it being bad for you compounded through the corrupt media, the demonising of users, I don't need to go on do I?

Truly awe inspiring interview with Eddy Lepp.:)


http://gnosticmedia.podomatic.com/

What is the future of medical marijuana? Why is federal law violating the Constitution and states' sovereign rights? And why is President Obama still allowing federal prosecution of medical marijuana patients and care givers against his campaign promises?

In this episode I interview Eddy Lepp, a man who has spent the last 20 years of his life on the front lines in the fight over patients' rights to use medical marijuana, and is a well honored activist (honored by HighTimes as activist of the year, amongst many other awards), and is also noted as having been involved in the largest marijuana bust in DEA history, and the largest medical marijuana raid in the history of the world.

In 2004 Lepp was raided by federal agents working in collusion with local and state police (a violation of state law) and after a nearly 5 year legal battle, on May 18, 2009, Lepp was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Failing his appeal, he is to report to prison on July 6, 2009. Lepp argues that he was not given a fair trial, and that crucial evidence was blocked, and that jurors were not told the truth of the case.

I'm not arsed about the stronger, it's the fact the THC is high and the CBD(anti-psychotic in the herb) is low. I think the PTB have made it this way so we don't self-medicate.
Man , I watched enough Documentaries on the benefits of mary jane. And I'm all for legalisation. I get sick of the mental health fears trotted out every time there's a debate about cannabis.
The fact is schizophrenia in folks has not risen in line with the number of cannabis users.
All I know is don't mix your drugs. The biggy that nobody ever cares about is alcohol and prescription drugs and this shits legal.

I would love to grow me own, but I can't be arsed. Them days are gone for me and I'm a clean living health freak these days. I still have toot when I'm on holiday. I'm not a big fan of alcohol and usually only drink now and again.

What the PTB do is create the paranoia in the media and use extreme examples for there poster boys or girls. We all have these fears in the subconscious put there by media and peers about drugs. My opinion is these come to the for when ever you ingest a drug and it is these fears which send you wackadoo, your subconscious mind is laid bare when you smoke marijuana or do any other stuff. If you've been abused or suffered extreme emotional trauma in your life it is this stuff that fucks you up.

I remember the furore of ecstacy, they would drag up these stories of the devil drug mdma and how it killed a teenager who only took it the once. What they conveniently forgot to mention is that said teenager had been drinking huge amounts of alcohol, which as anybody who knows anything about disco biscuits, is you never ever take a pill if you've been drinkin the firewater. Common sense except there's nothing common about it anymore.

Basically the fuckers don't want us too get high and have a good time, the peasants musn't be allowed to be happy and unified, they are our slaves thus say the PTB.

Look at the way the masses react to a ganja head and somebody who gets pissed every weekend or everyday. One is a junkie fuck who should be avoided and the other is a legend. WTF?:eek:

Pathetic madness over a god given plant.:mad:

Jesus fucking Christ! Why do British people equate BREEDING to GENETIC MODIFICATION when it comes to Cannabis? You guys are being fed a major load of propaganda about "skunk." The worst part is a lot of people seem to believe it.

Yup, there's no such thing as GM cannabis and skunk is just a generic name for a Sensi Seed bank strain that's been around since the 70s.

99% of information that come out of Gordon Brown's or any other member of his government's mouth on the subject of cannabis is complete lies.

Please note that Mr Brown and his Labour cronies have done nothing to stop unwanted GM food in this country, in fact, they have even promoted the growing of GM foods, lying to us about its dangers. Then they upgrade cannabis to a class b drug, also lying about it's dangers.

If you listen to the interview with Ed Stratton (www.drugequality.org) he talks about how the government upgraded cannabis because they believe it to be dangerous, and how he is challenging that, because you cannot lock people up on the basis of a belief, and the courts are in theory there to protect us from those kinds of abuses of power by the Executive.

Skunk #1
The strain that changed the face of cannabis culture across the world continues to amaze weed-lovers more than a quarter-century after her release! The original Skunk hybrids fused traditional cultivars from Central and South America, Afghanistan and Thailand. Through generations of intensive selection and back-crossing, the very best examples of Skunk were stabilised into the first true-breeding Indica-Sativa hybrid - the classic Indica-dominant Skunk #1. The potency of this branch of the cannabis family tree is so notorious that ‘skunk’ is often used as a name for any powerful ganja. Breeders regard Skunk #1 as the benchmark of uniform, reliable performance and her rock-solid genotype has influenced a hundred modern hybrids. Skunk#1’s energetic performance and bountiful yields demonstrate the true meaning of hybrid vigour. Growth and flowering are mostly-Indica in appearance, with Skunk #1 gaining a little more height than a pure Indica when blooming. The extra-dark green of this strain’s leaves comes from her Afghanica ancestors and contrasts sharply with her lime-green growing tips. Flowering is very fast and Skunk #1 produces robust stems and branches to support her superior yields. Short internode gaps explode into dense, rounded flower clusters which merge into huge, heavy terminal buds by the end of the blooming phase. Fan leaves can show many shades of colour at the end of flowering, as plants focus their energy on bud formation and resin production Sativa heritage is most apparent Skunk #1’s beautiful calyxes, long, profuse pistils and her habit of expanding bud-growth in all directions as harvest time approaches. Sativa also has a wonderful influence on Skunk #1’s potency and effect - a stunning combination of stone and high.

There are three main causes for the pot-prohibitions.

1. William Randolf Hearst and the Lumber Industry.
2. The growing business of the DEA and similiar agencies.
3. The Tobbacco Industry.

A fourth, less imporant cause is the vested interests of some large-scale dealers. Should weed be decriminalized, their profits would decrease inmensly.

Don't forget Big Pharma, ***OIL***, cotton and chemicals. All these are vested in prohibition.

Whenever you smoke a weed that tastes 'chemically', it's highly unlikely it's been 'sprayed' with anything. It's careless hydroponic growers who do not properly flush the harsh chemical nutrients for the last couple weeks of flowering.

So some women is spending time working in Amsterdam coffee shops. Working with the police in Amsterdam and then working with the UK police all to decide if she should smoke dope? No, you shouldn't love. I know pot heads of 20+ plus years who can make a decision quicker than that.

Seriously though, what's the point in what ever it is she's doing, the answer she will find at the end of her TV show on BBC3 (I presume) will be "NO, BECAUSE THEN I'LL GO MAD AND KILL".

The piece of article that was posted is anti canna propaganda to start with, thats all her findings will be.

On a happier note, Amsterdam tommorow - cant wait.

Through generations of intensive selection and back-crossing

would that have happened "naturally"? ganja that best done it for me was outdoor grown sensi imported from the caribbean. 150quid for 2oz. no matter how much smoked in a sitting there was none of "the fear".

fully comprehend why people grow via artifical aka indoor lights, but i think that is probably the biggest perversity about modern ganja, not the strains. though the fault solely lays with the law-makers. imagine if ganja were legal around the world what it would do for the economy of jamaica for example.

but ''blue cheese'' & ''ultra haze'' are without doubt the best tasting, most powerful strains currently doing the rounds....

i believe ''ultra haze'' is a combination of the two.. (something like 40/60 in favor of the indica)

i like sativa, but it all has the same taste, im sorry to say....the indica's are where you get the varying differences on the pallet :D

just my opinions...

What sativas have you smoked?

lol.....mate, i spend 4 days in the dam every year (for the last 6 :p) & im sure ive smoked everything that can be smoked...

i recognize the ''Diesel'' from hemp's post, but i couldn't recite the different types, i just know sativa has an underlying taste that genetics just cannot shake.

well, if you've ever smoked proper ''purple haze'' you'd know that was false....

''purple haze'' the non skunk strain is a beautiful smoke, & there wernt no sativa in that....(though i have been unable to find a decent bit for about 4 years :()

You guys want good smokes you need to get natural 100% Michoacan. See, if you go for all the fancy weeds out there, you might get a strong high, sure, and you might have a vision of CHrist and whatnot.. But if you are a dedicated smoker, you also need: smooth taste, good leafy-weed that rolls well.. Bong users and hydro-lovers need not apply.

I'm talkin' about the kinda smokers that roll up their joints in newspaper. For that kinda joint, you need Michoacan. Anything else is just "trying" too hard.:D:D:D:D:D:D

Oh... Pluuuuuuuseeeee..

[supertzar]

You guys want good smokes you need to get natural 100% Michoacan. See, if you go for all the fancy weeds out there, you might get a strong high, sure, and you might have a vision of CHrist and whatnot.. But if you are a dedicated smoker, you also need: smooth taste, good leafy-weed that rolls well.. Bong users and hydro-lovers need not apply.

I'm talkin' about the kinda smokers that roll up their joints in newspaper. For that kinda joint, you need Michoacan. Anything else is just "trying" too hard.:D:D:D:D:D:D

You want proof? Here it is:

Utter nonsense, no link between mental health whatsoever, all government lies, anyway, we're not asking the Government to legalise cannabis for kids, we're asking them to legalise it for over 18s.

If you are genuinely worried about kids getting hold of cannabis then why don't you join us in calling for the Government to allow the sale of cannabis in licensed coffeeshops, like in The Netherlands? In The Netherlands, there is lower usage of cannabis among minors than in the UK precisely because the sale is regulated and it can only be bought in licensed premises where there are strict penalties for selling to minors.

No Dutch coffeeshops will ever sell to under 18s because if they get caught doing that twice they get closed down, end of. Hence why cannabis usage in higher in other European countries because the supply is left to the criminal black market.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANNABIS

It's Britain's worst kept secret.

Even though it's illegal, more than 15 million people have tried it - including a third of all British teenagers and, by their own admission, a select group of Government ministers.

In Real Life: Should I Smoke Dope?, Nicky Taylor, an immersive journalist and single mum, embarks on a fact-finding mission to discover the truth about smoking cannabis.

Her journey mimics most people's first foray into cannabis culture - it's both funny and sometimes frightening.

In order to separate the science from the fiction, Taylor travels to Amsterdam and works in a coffee shop selling cannabis, seeing first-hand what the effects of cannabis are on everyday life.

It becomes apparent that the effects are unpredictable - no experience is the same and it varies according to one's mood, environment and, crucially, the strength of the cannabis.

In Dutch coffee shops, customers can roughly assess the strength of what they are buying because cannabis is graded according to its THC content - this is one of the active ingredients in cannabis that produces the "high effect".

The problem in Britain is that there is no way of regulating or knowing what is being dealt on the streets, and the cannabis most commonly found on sale, "skunk", is very strong.

Going on patrol with Dutch police in Amsterdam, Taylor hears a police officer make the case for their tolerant attitude to the sale and use of cannabis in coffee shops.

Back in the UK, Taylor accompanies the Peterborough police who are concerned about the use of both alcohol and cannabis by teenagers.

She talks to one of the kids who is open about his psychological addiction to the drug.

She also discovers the huge growth of an underground industry in Britain's suburbs cultivating hybridised genetically modified cannabis in ordinary houses converted to greenhouses.

There are real danger of smoking cannabis you should all know.

First of all it is smoke.

Your lungs are evolved to inhale air not smoke and it is very bad for them to be filled with smoke of any kind.

Secondly it can turn you inot an incredibly boring person.
There are people who started as teengers who have gone on to become desciples of the weed.
They sit about and talk about dope all day every day over a spliff.
I mean it is chronic. They do not talk about anything other than their head-on and how to get them and probably about other drugs to, some not natural either.
Let's face it they are very boring people.

I used to have the biggest bong in town as a 16 year old, it had an inch cone and took a four fag mix to fill the cone.

I called it the Elephant and it was a gimic.

But the standard Ariellet with and 11mm cone was normal.

I look back at it now and realise how much sport I missed out on and how badly I damaged my lungs.

I have stopped smoking altogether for over a year and had stopped for a year when I was 30 too and six months when I was 29.

But only now am I coughing up the plaque.

Have you ever used dental floss?

Smell the stuff you drag out from between your teeth; it is foul!

I have had grape seed sized balls of plaque poping out of my lungs, some smeared with tar as when you inhale smok it swirls about inside you and opens large grape seed sized holes in your lungs, they then fill with plaque.

I picked one out of the sink and smeared it between my fingers and the stink was terrible.

Deep down in my lungs I ache, not always but when I worked in a shop I was standing up all day and the tug of my diaphram would cause the bottom of my lungs agony.

I hope now the plaque pips are poping out I can get through the pain barrier and recover.
I will not have a very good or long life if I dont.

One of the reasons I started soking again when I was 31 was that I thought it would kill the pain throbbing in the bottom of my lungs.

And it did actually.

But now I have stopped again the throbbing area has grown to the other side more too.

But I can have afternoon naps now so that resets the thing and I'm not such a drinker by a long way so there is less social pressure to smoke.

But when I think of the life I could have had in place of the life of a smoker I can only regret doing it.

Not trying it, but being a bong monster all my older teens.

But there was an off duty Police man that warned me in the town centre when I was 17 that Prince Charles was bribing all my friends and they were trying to get me into drugs for money from Prince Charles.

I don't know if that was the cop who was stabbed to death recently by one of my female friends (at the time's) brother who knifed him 20 times and got off with manslaughter by saying he forgot the knife was in his hand.

But I took the point although I felt in control.

I did feel I was wasting time with them getting stoned every night in my camper van and I failed my A-levels.

But I would not have missed the trips to traveller festivals and Glastonbury for the world.

But I wish I fitted it all in with more outdoor adventures and less smoke.

In fact no smoke.

If I could go back in time and advise myself I would have told myself to put a blim on a spoon with olive oil and heat it up so it melts to a powder and lick it off and have one decent german lager.

And get friends who like a sing songs.

What is the point of being able to sing as a dead ringer for Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash if there is no-one to share the joy with?

Think about it...it is one heck of a range... I can get as high as Rob Halford but lower than Johnny Cash.

But I will add to that that it is actually brilliant for your mental health.

I was highly strung as a teenager and probably with a good joint I would not have sat down and done my engineering homework and developed the first class mind I have today.

I had an unhappy childhood in some ways but once I discovered dope I was too busy laughing to remember I was trying to forget it.

I mean going inot shops with a bong sticking out from under my leather biker jacket and giggling so much I asked fro "wriggles" as I could not say "Rizzlas" and the shop keeper getting irate and say "You are laughing like girls boys" and the girls boys words comming so close and having multiple interpretations we nealry had to crawl out of the shop as out hysterics made it hard to walk.

And even in the grim hospital years it was a great help at getting through.

I remember the Spring of 2002 daily sitting in the grounds of St. David's Nut House having a joint and a bottle of gin to myself.

No-one knew really and they thought I was much better because they will think whatever and I just strengthend my certainty that the whole process is a fraud.

But I would much prefered to have been out mountaineering.

Cannabis Is an addictive drug and can cause physical and mental health problems.....fact.
I dont care if its legalised or not,thats not my point but lets be clear about this,skunk is a potentially harmfull and impressionable yong adults should not betold otherwise by pot heads.

[clachan]

No.

This reply show how many brain cells in this persons brain work normally
Take note kids,is this how you want to end up,sitting in front of a computer screen stoned and only able to type "NO" ?

[gripit]

So...the bulk of your evidence is based on what your Mommy told you? How about you provide some links like drhemp, myself and others did.

[supertzar]

I have had grape seed sized balls of plaque poping out of my lungs, some smeared with tar as when you inhale smok it swirls about inside you and opens large grape seed sized holes in your lungs, they then fill with plaque.

I doubt it. Cannabis smoke causes no long term lung damage according to studies. I have never had "balls of plaque popping out of my lungs" and I have never seen this in anyone else or heard of it at all. Where do you get this idea? A google search for marijuana plaque turned up only information about how it prevents Alzheimer's plaque from forming in the brain.

[drhemp]

Cannabis is NOT addictive, and there is NO link between cannabis and mental health problems, only that it shouldn't be taken by people with existing mental health problems, which it often is, regardless of whether it is legal or not.

The fact you use the term 'skunk' leads me to believe perhaps your views have been formed from the constant lies about cannabis that we are subjected to from our Government and the media rather than any solid factual evidence.

Nobody's saying that taken in very large quantities it is conducive to a healthy and productive life, but the same can certainly be said of legal alcohol. The fact is the vast majority of cannabis users use it responsibly. Most cannabis use is non-problematic and I don't see why we should be criminalised because of a tiny minority of people who abuse it? Would you call for alcohol to be banned because you saw a wino lying in the gutter? And they advertise alcohol on the TV, we're just asking to be legally allowed to buy it in licensed coffeeshops.

It's got nothing to do with potheads telling people to smoke cannabis, it's about potheads not wanting to be told by a Government of fascists that we cannot smoke cannabis.

I'm stoned now, but I can still manage to type and spell correctly. :D

[supertzar]

Nobody's saying that taken in very large quantities it is conducive to a healthy and productive life

I would say so. I would also say it is not even comparable to alcohol at all. THC has no measurable toxicity, but alcohol, well...

[drhemp]

I would say so. I would also say it is not even comparable to alcohol at all. THC has no measurable toxicity, but alcohol, well...

Certainly compared to alcohol, there's no comparison in danger, but the point I was making is that most cannabis users do not get up in the morning and smoke 5 bongs of super strength weed, or get stoned to the point of oblivion every day, and I can accept that for some who do that this might not lead to the most productive of lives. Just as the majority of alcohol users do not get up in the morning and drink a bottle of gin.

[supertzar]

Neville's.

I don't know much about that. I know a lot of strains are back-crossed once the original seed stock is used up, so you get the bastardized ones. Neville's Haze is supposed to be Haze with a little bit of Northern Lights, so it does have some indica, but not much. Ultra Haze is supposed to be Neville's x a landrace sativa, so it would be very, very sativa dominant. "Up" sativa high and sweet, sweet sativa TASTE.

Maybe they don't care about being productive. That is cool with me. A lot of heavy stoners are super-productive. Bob Marley was one of the most prolific smokers in memory. He went through hundreds of kilos, but he was pretty damn productive. My friend smokes a ton, but he goes to work and manages to be one of the hardest working musicians in the region. I don't think you can pin it on the herb.

[whiterain]

This is a fine example of what this crap does.

what? turn non users into condescending .....s

if your gonna state facts.... get them straight and checked out first eh? cannabis is no more addictive than chocolate or wanking and i dont see anyone running to get these banned. potentially harmful eh? name me one thing that isnt- potentially...

[clachan]

So...the bulk of your evidence is based on what your Mommy told you? How about you provide some links like drhemp, myself and others did.

Wrong,I taken LSD, heroin, coke, sulphate and many other "recreational drugs".
For 17 years the thought of not hving dope for even one day filled me with dread,so the bulk of my evidence was hard earned,the time and money i wasted depresses me still.
I dont need to look at bullshit propergander links and would not waste my time providing you with any,no matter what you see you,ll be stoned again tomorrow.
Let me ask you,if t your supply of shit stopped how would that affect your mood,you dont need to answer.
I,m into icke because this world is bad and the system evil,I see kids starving,innocent women rapped butchered in all the pointless wars and it need,nt be.Thats why im into icke.
I dont think the answer is"Oh,man this bad shit,lets get stoned and talk about it"
Of what use are you stoned to those woman and kids? While you lot are out of your heads and aer too stoned to think sraight the world goes on suffering.

[clachan]

if your gonna state facts.... get them straight and checked out first eh? cannabis is no more addictive than chocolate or wanking and i dont see anyone running to get these banned. potentially harmful eh? name me one thing that isnt- potentially...
Eating and masturbating are normal bodily functions,inhaling toxic smoke is not!

[supertzar]

If you were taking cocaine and heroin and "sulphate" (whatever that is,) but you think Cannabis is dangerous you have far bigger problems than anything "skunk" could ever do to you.

[whiterain]

i guess we got very different ideas of whats 'normal' then eh:rolleyes:

chocolates hardly for nutrition is it

[supertzar]

Eating and masturbating are normal bodily functions,inhaling toxic smoke is not!

Scientifically speaking, there is no measurable toxicity in THC at all. It does not cause lung disease either. Where do you get the idea that Cannabis smoke is toxic?

[supertzar]

i guess we got very different ideas of whats 'normal' then eh:rolleyes:

chocolates hardly for nutrition is it

Actually raw cacao is one of the healthiest things you can eat. It's full of antioxidants and minerals. If you are talking "chocolates" with sugar and everything, yeah those are no good.

[clachan]

If you were taking cocaine and heroin and "sulphate" (whatever that is,) but you think Cannabis is dangerous you have far bigger problems than anything "skunk" could ever do to you.

If all you,ve ever done is smoke dope then how are you qualified to make that statement?

[whiterain]

:p haha you know what i meant.. most things in their raw form seem to be the most beneficial

[supertzar]

If all you,ve ever done is smoke dope then how are you qualified to make that statement?

I've seen what those drugs do to people firsthand. I have stuck with the psychedelics and Cannabis and I know how non-toxic they are.

[clachan]

Scientifically speaking, there is no measurable toxicity in THC at all. It does not cause lung disease either. Where do you get the idea that Cannabis smoke is toxic?

If i were to take a rat and put it in a confined space then add cannabis smoke it would probably become unable to function as it does normally......why.

[clachan]

I've seen what those drugs do to people firsthand. I have stuck with the psychedelics and Cannabis and I know how non-toxic they are.

I have taken heroin and smoked strong skunk,not a big difference

[ronisron]

I was a chronic for over 25 years -- a friend of mine used to joke with me and say "Who put the RON in chRONic??" It used to be a way of life. I never had/have to worry about "street" weed, I always either grew myself or got from family/friends who grew. Living in Vancouver BC was great when I was younger -- BC either stands for Better Canada, or Best Cannabis. I used to see Marc Emery around, and at one time went to Hemp BC on Hastings St in the early '90's at 4:20 for the ritual light up. I kind of avoided the Cafe's and smoke houses that were springing up, it was out of paranoia that they were "tagging" pot users.

THC atrophies and kills cancer cells, but at the same time, any smoke can be carcinogenic. It was making me really stuffed up when I was smoking it as I got older, and becoming increasingly hard on my lungs. It almost seemed like an allergic reaction.

Weed can help you prioritize, center your thinking, and help you get some amazing amounts of work done. I was a musician, and used to love to play gigs with a good buzz going. If you work a mundane job like I do, and are discreet, it can help you to get through that day too. However, it can be psychologically "addicting" if you let it, only in the sense that you prefer being stoned to sober, and can't envision not having a toke. It can also make you incredibly lazy, and help you to justify being that way.

I'm 42 now, and haven't had a puff in 3 1/2 months. I just really changed my thinking about and approach to pot. I've been far too heavy of a smoker in my life, and find that it's better in moderation. It has become boring to be perpetually stoned, and I'm enjoying the simpler, sober life more these days. Another impetus to drastically cut my usage was my older son was noticing my state of being as he is now 13. I was always discreet about my smoking, never exposed my kids to it directly, but him knowing was making me feel irresponsible. I really haven't given up on anything. Weed is there if I need it, but I'm glad I don't feel the need to have it around me at all times anymore.

It's a better alternative to drinking, IMO, if you feel like you like to have a little buzz. You'll fight your best friend with a few drinks in you, but you're less inclined to be violent, or quick on the draw with a few tokes in you. In my experience anyway.

[ronisron]

I have taken heroin and smoked strong skunk,not a big difference

At the end of a long day of toking, I have felt slightly opiated, but not quite the same. Strong heroin in a smoke form can make you nod. Completely void.

Heroin's kinda tricky.... not something I felt I wanted to tangle with full time. I know too many people who were absolutely owned by that drug.

[supertzar]

If i were to take a rat and put it in a confined space then add cannabis smoke it would probably become unable to function as it does normally......why.

Its' consciousness would be altered, I suppose. Not necessarily a bad thing. Many people spend hours each day trying to achieve similar states through meditation or yoga.

I have taken heroin and smoked strong skunk,not a big difference

The difference is one kills you (and if it doesn't kill you it will damage you) and one doesn't. The other difference is one is physiologically addictive (the only definition of addiction that is accurate in my opinion) and one isn't.

[bob_jones]

I doubt it. Cannabis smoke causes no long term lung damage according to studies. I have never had "balls of plaque popping out of my lungs" and I have never seen this in anyone else or heard of it at all. Where do you get this idea?

I saw a bong fleck the other morning too.

It must have been down there from a bucket I had in 1991 or so.

It can cause cancer you know.

One study I heard about said tobacco mixed with hash is less carcenogenic than either on their own.

But still much more than clean lungs.

[supertzar]

It can cause cancer you know.

It's so tiresome drawing out the same information over and over again so I am not going to. I have addressed this before on the forum with scientific sources, so search for it if you want. Studies show that Cannabis does not cause cancer or any other disease.

[bob_jones]

Actually studdies in Austrailia show that you can not cause scitsophrenia with cannabis even if you try.

It is a myth put about by Big Pharma that it can cause it.

But they did show that if you do have scitsophrenia the symptoms are reduced by cannabis.

I will try to did it out if you must see the papers.

[bob_jones]

Do you think I will accept your research over the damage I have actually experienced to my lungs?

[supertzar]

Do you think I will accept your research over the damage I have actually experienced to my lungs?

Well, you are talking about some plaque-forming mechanism that no one in the whole world has ever heard of, so I question your conclusions.

[bob_jones]

Eating and masturbating are normal bodily functions,inhaling toxic smoke is not!

I have never tried eating and masturbating.

And it is actually banned in most restaunts.

There are probably some that allow in in the Netherlands.

[bob_jones]

Actually I told a friend about the plaque balls and he knew what it was stright away as he had heard about it from a doctor.

No-one in the world?

And my brother-in-law gets them from tobacco smoking.

First of all, don't confuse Cannabis and tobacco smoke. Two different things. Second, can you find a single reference to Cannabis plaque balls in lungs on google?

I don't know anyone who smokes neat hash only.

It usually is mixed with tobacco.

I know it is neat sometimes if you have a pipe, but not in a joint.

Mind you I don't know anyone with has as I changed company.

Personalli I regret ever smoking at all, including hash and weed because my lungs hurt, but not because I got stonned, I loved that and would much a quater of weed if I had one.

I did have some and it disapeared for a while and then came back and so then caused the runs as my mum had covered it with bio-warfare germs.

I did give it a rinse in vinegar but it dose not have a smooth surface and so the wash didn't work.

[bob_jones]

What about severe paranoia,I used to get real bad with skunk and i know others did too.

Fair comment.

It is the ratio of CBD to THC.

Skunk has a lot of THC but not a lot of CBD.

That can make you paranoid.

But if the CBD is there like with hash then it reduces paranoia.

[supertzar]

What about severe paranoia,I used to get real bad with skunk and i know others did too.

Like many people, you probably tend towards paranoia and smoking brought that out. I knew a girl who had extreme flashbacks of being sexually abused after she smoked. She was in a state of shock and thought she was dying. She was actually cold to the touch. Did she have the flashbacks because she smoked or because she was in fact abused?

[whiterain]

I have never tried eating and masturbating.

And it is actually banned in most restaunts.

There are probably some that allow in in the Netherlands.

loooool you know there must be some places..... :D

that is YOUR paranoia. the weed is just showing you that its there so that you can do something to treat it yourself. thats from my experience with psychadelics anyway

[supertzar]

I don't know anyone who smokes neat hash only.

It usually is mixed with tobacco.

I know it is neat sometimes if you have a pipe, but not in a joint.

Mind you I don't know anyone with has as I changed company.

Personalli I regret ever smoking at all, including hash and weed because my lungs hurt, but not because I got stonned, I loved that and would much a quater of weed if I had one.

I did have some and it disapeared for a while and then came back and so then caused the runs as my mum had covered it with bio-warfare germs.

I did give it a rinse in vinegar but it dose not have a smooth surface and so the wash didn't work.

Can you see the flaw in your logic? You are blaming your lung issues on Cannabis, but you smoked tobacco. How do you know it was not the tobacco that messed up your lungs? In all likelyhood that is what happened. Most likely you were smoking commercial tobacco which has radioactive isotopes even.

I have been smoking pot without tobacco (how we smoke in the States) for over twenty years and my lungs are fine. In the last two years I have been smoking homegrown organic non-radioactive tobacco and if I smoke too much for a given time I begin to notice effects on my lungs.

I found when having breathing difficulties weed can actually make you breath easier after you smoke.

Its probably one of the most useful plants ever to be bestowed on man.

The most sever traumer I ever had was being given chloropromazine and stelazine in a nut house.

I mean nearly being shot by the IRA and chopped up with a 9 inch disc cutter was nothing compared to it, although that caused a terrible nightmare as they were just inside. I was too tired to go and had paid for the camping anyway.

But after the chloropromazine I had to spend 6 months in bed smoking joints and my brain felt like a solid lump.

No dreams, impotence, shakes, lock jaw.

But I did a load of mushrooms in Glastonbury 2000 and went about with my chalk writting that

Tony Blair is a sorcerer

and

Jack Straw is a conjurer

and the police were trying to stand in front of it to stop people seeing it and looking for me, but I'm the Pimpernel.

After that I was better.

So magic mushrooms can heal people damaged by psychiatic drugs.

But my mental artithmatic is very slow to recover.

It used to be great.

I must have had an IQ of 130 + on leaving UNI.

Highly intelligent starts at 122.

I'm almost highly intelligent lol!!!!

Ah!
You are in the USA.

In Wales we tend to roast fags with a flame and rub hash into the cooked tobacco and then rip it through a hubbly bubbly bong.

I have head it can be dangerous to go up to people and ask them if you can bum a fag of them in the USA?

If i were to take a rat and put it in a confined space then add cannabis smoke it would probably become unable to function as it does normally......why.

because it's in a confined space... have you tried to scratch your arse when standing in a wardrobe? now try to scratch your arse not standing in a wardrobe... easy innit. cannabis doesn't make any difference. if however the rat was trying to drive a jcb, well fair enough.

Man, I make old school look old.. My MOMMA was teachin' me how to roll 'em!:D:D:D:D:D:D

[octopusrex]

There are real danger of smoking cannabis you should all know.

First of all it is smoke.

Your lungs are evolved to inhale air not smoke and it is very bad for them to be filled with smoke of any kind.

Secondly it can turn you inot an incredibly boring person.
There are people who started as teengers who have gone on to become desciples of the weed.
They sit about and talk about dope all day every day over a spliff.
I mean it is chronic. They do not talk about anything other than their head-on and how to get them and probably about other drugs to, some not natural either.
Let's face it they are very boring people.

I used to have the biggest bong in town as a 16 year old, it had an inch cone and took a four fag mix to fill the cone.

I called it the Elephant and it was a gimic.

But the standard Ariellet with and 11mm cone was normal.

I look back at it now and realise how much sport I missed out on and how badly I damaged my lungs.

I have stopped smoking altogether for over a year and had stopped for a year when I was 30 too and six months when I was 29.

But only now am I coughing up the plaque.

Have you ever used dental floss?

Smell the stuff you drag out from between your teeth; it is foul!

I have had grape seed sized balls of plaque poping out of my lungs, some smeared with tar as when you inhale smok it swirls about inside you and opens large grape seed sized holes in your lungs, they then fill with plaque.

I picked one out of the sink and smeared it between my fingers and the stink was terrible.

Deep down in my lungs I ache, not always but when I worked in a shop I was standing up all day and the tug of my diaphram would cause the bottom of my lungs agony.

I hope now the plaque pips are poping out I can get through the pain barrier and recover.
I will not have a very good or long life if I dont.

One of the reasons I started soking again when I was 31 was that I thought it would kill the pain throbbing in the bottom of my lungs.

And it did actually.

But now I have stopped again the throbbing area has grown to the other side more too.

But I can have afternoon naps now so that resets the thing and I'm not such a drinker by a long way so there is less social pressure to smoke.

But when I think of the life I could have had in place of the life of a smoker I can only regret doing it.

Not trying it, but being a bong monster all my older teens.

But there was an off duty Police man that warned me in the town centre when I was 17 that Prince Charles was bribing all my friends and they were trying to get me into drugs for money from Prince Charles.

I don't know if that was the cop who was stabbed to death recently by one of my female friends (at the time's) brother who knifed him 20 times and got off with manslaughter by saying he forgot the knife was in his hand.

But I took the point although I felt in control.

I did feel I was wasting time with them getting stoned every night in my camper van and I failed my A-levels.

But I would not have missed the trips to traveller festivals and Glastonbury for the world.

But I wish I fitted it all in with more outdoor adventures and less smoke.

In fact no smoke.

If I could go back in time and advise myself I would have told myself to put a blim on a spoon with olive oil and heat it up so it melts to a powder and lick it off and have one decent german lager.

And get friends who like a sing songs.

What is the point of being able to sing as a dead ringer for Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash if there is no-one to share the joy with?

Think about it...it is one heck of a range... I can get as high as Rob Halford but lower than Johnny Cash.

So... You must have discovered the pleasures of brownies!:D

Yeah, it kind of sounds like an indecent proposition of the homosexual kind to an American.

Do you see my point I made about smoking tobacco all those years and pinning the blame on Cannabis? Then there is the question of what was really in the "hash" you always smoked. You probably smoked manure and shit like that! LOL! They mix things like that into hash, you know. Unless it's bubble hash from a trusted source, I wouldn't touch it.

Yes.

I can't say what only ever smoking neat weed would have done because that is not what I did.

But I have had weed only joints and I thought they were chesty and harsh.

I still regret ever smoking at all personally.

Cannabis does not cause mental illness, infact it keeps it at bay. When one absconds from cannabis is the greatest danger, try to cope with depression of this completely screwed up this world, most users would have become alcoholics. The government are using the mental health spin to keep cannabis illegal, 'Why?' because cannabis grows for nothing, and therefore no money could be made from it. When someone commits a crime or is caught with cannabis, they are persuaded into programs were they are brainwashed into thinking that when they smoke cannabis it causes them to have all the affects that they get when one stops taking cannabis. anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, thoughts of hoplessness.

The government want everyone to be drug free, so they are easier to put on antidepressant progams and malipulate with ease, as notice in the rise of antidepressant users since the credit crunch. Antidepressant users don't ask questions! my doctor said "I have a long menu of antidepressants," I said "I haven't asked for any I'm not mad". He said "we are all a little mad". I looked around his room that is in a complete mess, what does he earn 100 grand or more, and as many pharmaceutical drug to keep him in his room all day.

I had a good job until I was illegally busted and they found my small grow room. I lost my driving licence, my job, they tried to take my kids, my wife nearly lost her job and they tried to persuade my wife to evict me by saying I was mad because I thought she grassed on me. It is amazing what you find out when you are on the wrong side of the law, the police are evil vindictive people. a lot of people don't see that side of them but once you have, you feel sorry for the people on the wrong side of them. They tried to brake my wrists and broke one of my ribs, because I know alot of the law, or should I say what I thought was the law what is written in the codes of practice, we have no rights none what so ever. It makes me laugh when I talk to the public and they say "but their not allowed to do that" and I say "they can do what they like, believe me.

The government don't lie, the law and government use alot of worthless words like 'may, could, should, might,possibly, all used because we are stupid and don't ask questions, but cannabis users do. They are scared of cannabis users and keep manipulating the law to their benefit, never has the law changed so much as it has today, the use of terrorist to change laws is a joke, it's a piss take on all of us, we had the IRA blowning up london for years and nothing was done, then the public started to grow weed and now they say we should live in fear from people who live on the other side of the world, from people who produce strong resin. all so they can look at what you have, what they can take from you.

Gordon Brown has made it clear, he is not going to change the laws on Cannabis, and not outlaw alcohol, even though beer is alot stronger than it was in the sixties. who asked for the pubs to be open 24hrs a day? he even claims that rehab for alcoholics has and is improving, I have nothing against alcohol, I just don't think it should taste like cotton candy like the alcopops.

We have used Cannabis in this country for hundreds of years, way before tobacco was introduced. sailors would smoke rope i.e the saying 'like smoking old rope' Pagans would burn it on fires within their hut. Cannabis was introduce to britian over four thousand years ago, which then turn to hemp over years, becoming weaker. whole areas of britian were covered in hemp and used to make clothing and rope.

There is actually a smoking gene that make some able to smoke Cannabis, it is in our genes and the government are trying to eradicate us, they have always tried to, we are the others, the ones that lived outside the garden of eden (adam and eve had two sons where were their grandchildrens mothers).

We are tribal people and that is what is going to finish us off, the government know we can not unite, but this is the only way we can survive.

Next to come, the public will not have any money, only credit, they are already priming us up. one minute we have too much credit, next not enough. remember weed cost nothing to grow, could even save the planet from global warming, but they would rather build space ships and other expensive ways of tackling global warming, just so we can work for them, the only reason I can think of is so they can leave the planet but that is another story.

Wow really? , what about the whole addictive quality? Like begging in the street for money , not to mention the damage smack does to people, notice you can tell a smack head 9/10 just by looking at the skin/face. Very hard to tell a stoner by just looking.

Ofc if you have never smoked good weed then someone gives you some I suppose It could be like that( due to you not being used to the drug, much like any drug) , never took smack so i couldnt tell ya. But to say there the same or similar is just a bit much.

your doing a great job of representing the open mindedness of the anti pot crowd. but at least you are an expert on 'real life' eh. you might get your point across better if you cut out the insults, doesnt show you in a good light. stick around, it might help

[clachan]

Like many people, you probably tend towards paranoia and smoking brought that out. I knew a girl who had extreme flashbacks of being sexually abused after she smoked. She was in a state of shock and thought she was dying. She was actually cold to the touch. Did she have the flashbacks because she smoked or because she was in fact abused?

Ok,what about "unable to sleep without cannabis and being soaked in sweat after the little sleep idid get"?
What about the vivid and at times horrible dreams which i had during that state of semi-concsiousness?
All this i experienced when i lived in western Ireland,I hadn,t drank or taken any other drugs for years,only smoked dope.
The reason i hate it when i hear "cannabis is not addictive" is because it is NOT TRUE!! I recall one time in the 80,s when i was not so well off i drove 24 miles round trip for a 16th Oz bit of puff! NOT ADDICTED????
Who said The Truth shall set you free?
This IS my truth.

[whiterain]

been through those dreams. scary at first but more of a doorway to a whole new world of dream exploration. yes when you stop smoking the first day can make you feel a bit worse off but after that i feel massively energised for having done it, and im a big believer in what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. you can become psychologically addicted to ANYTHING. weed is not physically addictive.

i swear i have had street weed that makes me crave another spliff, but try a good bit of homegrown and youl be more than satisfied with one and probably wont be too arsey about it if you cant find any more. leading me to believe there are certain additives in some street weed leading people to feel more addicted than clean stuff.

its obvious you had a bad time with it but that is no reason to try to stop everyone else enjoying something they can easily handle. just find something different for yourself and let us get on with living our lives. sound fair?

You hadn't drank or taken cocaine, heroin or morphine for years, but since you did take those substances I think you have to consider that your symptoms may have been caused by the damage you did to yourself when you took them and that the medicinal herb Cannabis helped to alleviate those symptoms. I think you also have to take an honest look at whatever personal issues you may have that precipitated such self-destructive behavior. What drove you to use drugs that could kill you?

Also im entitled to say what i wish where i wish,but as you said insults dont help so i retract any insulting comments i have made.

ha perhaps you should ask david about his use of hallucinogens and the insight they have given people into the nature of reality for 1000's of years.

the nature of reality plays a rather larger part in davids work. as i say im glad you found another way that works for you, but just because cannabis had no positive effect with you does not make that true for everyones experience.

ps theres a massive difference between use and abuse. how many cups of coffe counts as abuse?

[drhemp]

Yes it's the truth about cannabis, as opposed to Government lies about cannabis. Many things are discussed in the general forum, that are not directly related to DI and his ideas, including from time to time the issue of cannabis legalisation.

We are talking about the right to legally use cannabis, not substance abuse. Cannabis use and substance abuse are too entirely different things that our disingenuous government like to link to promote their own agenda of prohibition.

I have a six year old son and a two year old daughter, I really don't see what that has to do with adults who use cannabis not wishing to be criminalised? I wouldn't be bothered if they drank a beer when they are old enough, so I why should I be bothered if they one day smoked a spliff when they are old enough? I'd be more concerned if they became alcoholics.

[clachan]

You hadn't drank or taken cocaine, heroin or morphine for years, but since you did take those substances I think you have to consider that your symptoms may have been caused by the damage you did to yourself when you took them and that the medicinal herb Cannabis helped to alleviate those symptoms. I think you also have to take an honest look at whatever personal issues you may have that precipitated such self-destructive behavior. What drove you to use drugs that could kill you?

Simple.....i was curious,i didn,t like them and only tryed them.I spent my school years at a strict boarding school followed by 3 years army,so wanting to try all life had to offer i thought way not.I had survived paras what harm could these drugs do me?
The point is i know what they do...period.

But why were you curious about death drugs? What was it about your life besides the strict school and army that caused you to go in that direction? Dig deeper. You had parents who sent you to the strict boarding school, so that might be a clue right there. What was their deal? If they were going to ship you off, at least they could have sent you somewhere a little nicer. Could the desperate need for medication have something to do with how your psyche was shaped by them?

Something I have seen before in the addictive mindset is a seeming inability to assess risk when it comes to drugs. "What harm could it do me?" It could do a lot of harm, so it is probably best not to try it. That is what my non-addictive psychology says. Cannabis does me no harm and I am in no way addicted, so it is cool with me.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but when you say things like there is no difference between heroin and Cannabis it doesn't lend your opinion much credibility.

Cannabis Is an addictive drug and can cause physical and mental health problems.....fact.
I dont care if its legalised or not,thats not my point but lets be clear about this,skunk is a potentially harmfull and impressionable yong adults should not betold otherwise by pot heads.

It is not addictive, i only smoke it when im round friends who smoke it which is'nt often these days. When i make music on the pc, it opens up my mind allowing my creative juices to flow.

Millions of people smoke high quality Cannabis and do all kinds of things they could not do on heroin, so this is your subjective experience that you are trying to project onto the herb as one of its' properties. It is the same with what you are saying about Cannabis being addictive. For whatever reason you couldn't function without it, but that is not because of any addictive properties of the herb.

Getting back to skunksmash on Purple Haze: it turns out that "proper" Purple Haze is indeed a long-lost sativa grown in California in the 70's. I don't know what variety you were talking about getting a few years ago, but it is not the original Purple Haze. The "Purple Haze" available now is a cross between Holland's Hope and Skunk #1 as you alluded to in your post.

Cannabis linked to Biblical healing

Jesus Christ and his apostles may have used a cannabis-based anointing oil to help cure people with crippling diseases, it has been claimed.

Researchers in the United States say the oil used in the early days of the Christian church contained a cannabis extract called kaneh-bosem.

They suggest the extract, which is absorbed into the body when placed on the skin, could have helped cure people with a variety of physical and mental problems.

The author of the article, published in the US drugs magazine High Times, says his findings are based on a study of scriptural texts.

Wide use

The article does not question the validity of the miracles reported in the Bible but rather examines whether the early Christian Church may have made use of substances with an active medical effect.

It does not rule out the role played by blind faith in Christ.

Chris Bennett said cannabis was widely used at the time to heal the sick.

"The medical use of cannabis during that time is supported by archaeological records."

He said the ancient anointing oil contained high levels of cannabis extract.

"The holy anointing oil, as described in the original Hebrew version of the recipe in Exodus, contained over six pounds of keneh-bosum - a substance identified by respected etymology, linguists anthropologists, botanists and other researchers as cannabis extracted into about six quarts of olive oil along with a variety of other fragrant herbs.

"The ancient annointed ones were literally drenched in this potent mixture."

Miracles

Mr Bennett suggested the drug may have played a role in some healing miracles carried out by Jesus and his disciples.

He wrote: "In the ancient world, diseases such as epilepsy were attributed to demonic possession.

"To cure somebody of such an illness, even with the aid of certain herbs was considered exorcism or miraculous healing.

"Interestingly, cannabis has been shown to be effective in the treatment of not only epilepsy but many of the other ailments that Jesus and the disciples healed people of such as skin diseases, eye problems and menstrual problems."

Mr Bennett said the findings suggested that it was unchristian to persecute people who used cannabis.

"If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient Christian anointing oil, as history indicates, and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ."

However, Christian groups in the United States have rejected Mr Bennett's claims.

They have insisted that the arguments made in the article are lame.

In a response to the article published on JesusJournal.com, critics said: "As many of us know firsthand, Jesus often becomes the final hope for the pharmacologically impaired."

John Cunyus, the author of a book on Christian healing, said: "Well, the Bible does say that St. Stephen was stoned... but perhaps not in that sense!"

Unfortunately there is no evidence that Jesus used cannabis and when I say that I mean it never mentions that he rolled a wicked joint of ganja, but its alright to believe he recieved his healing powers from a man more elusive than santa.

World's Oldest Stash of Marijuana
Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China. The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly "cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour.

"To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent," says the newly published paper, whose lead author was American neurologist Dr. Ethan B. Russo.

Remnants of cannabis have been found in ancient Egypt and other sites, and the substance has been referred to by authors such as the Greek historian Herodotus. But the tomb stash is the oldest so far that could be thoroughly tested for its properties.

The 18 researchers, most of them based in China, subjected the cannabis to a battery of tests, including carbon dating and genetic analysis. Scientists also tried to germinate 100 of the seeds found in the cache, without success.

The marijuana was found to have a relatively high content of THC, the main active ingredient in cannabis, but the sample was too old to determine a precise percentage.

Researchers also could not determine whether the cannabis was smoked or ingested, as there were no pipes or other clues in the tomb of the shaman, who was about 45 years old.

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/7550/oldestpotbuds.jpg (http://img223.imageshack.us/i/oldestpotbuds.jpg/)


The large cache was contained in a leather basket and in a wooden bowl, and was likely meant to be used by the shaman in the afterlife.

"This materially is unequivocally cannabis, and no material has previously had this degree of analysis possible," Russo said in an interview from Missoula, Mont.

"It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife. No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied."

The tomb also contained bridles, archery equipment and a harp, confirming the man's high social standing.

Russo is a full-time consultant with GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes Sativex, a cannabis-based medicine approved in Canada for pain linked to multiple sclerosis and cancer.

The company operates a cannabis-testing laboratory at a secret location in southern England to monitor crop quality for producing Sativex, and allowed Russo use of the facility for tests on 11 grams of the tomb cannabis.

Researchers needed about 10 months to cut red tape barring the transfer of the cannabis to England from China, Russo said.

The inter-disciplinary study was published this week by the British-based botany journal, which uses independent reviewers to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of all submitted papers.

The substance has been found in two of the 500 Gushi tombs excavated so far in northwestern China, indicating that cannabis was either restricted for use by a few individuals or was administered as a medicine to others through shamans, Russo said.

"It certainly does indicate that cannabis has been used by man for a variety of purposes for thousands of years."

Russo, who had a neurology practice for 20 years, has previously published studies examining the history of cannabis.

"I hope we can avoid some of the political liabilities of the issue," he said, referring to his latest paper.

The region of China where the tomb is located, Xinjiang, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide.

you mean soft drug, here in britian they call it hard drug, in california they call it medicene, in jamaica they call it herb, in the bible they call it the tree of life, budda called it enlightening.

They also call love and gambling a drug.

I personally call it a plant. THC with in the cannabis plant maybe the drug, but why should I go to prison if I choose to use it.

But what has the fact that you have completely abscond from any sort of drug got to do with the truth about cannabis.

Why don't you start a thread and explain how you have acheived this, I would read it. Maybe you could write a book telling everyone how strong you are.

I grew my own cannabis and stand for legalisation, they don't like it.

I think the best thing that has been highlighted here is fact that in the netherlands it is decriminalised and Jack1 doesn't smoke it in fact does'nt do drugs and in england it is highly illegal yet a large majority of people smoke it to the fact that most don't even know what they are smoking.
What is this country scared of addiction, or mental illness. or do they just want to control, are we getting ready for war, do the elite want to build spaceships to leave. All I know is I am here on this planet, my kids and their kids, and so is cannabis, it's a weed and better off learning about it than trying to hide it under the mat. It's free and could save the planet, but Brown claims it causes mental illness and is DEADLY, yet my doctor says we are all mad and no-one has die from cannabis yet. Time for the truth, time for Brown to go!

first christians, then the bible, now you change to the Torah.

All I can say is with all the technology we have today we still have unanswered questions.
Moes took himself off up mount sinai to talk to the burning bush, and came back with the torah. Hashem gave it to him, (burning BUSH, HASHem) look into it as much as you like but if they knew more then they we do today with all this technology that we have the technology is a waste of time. it's like saying cavemen knew more than us because they are closer to the start of humans. The Jews believe dinosaur bones were planted by the devil to fool us.

I am missing your point, are you trying to say because moses said it was given to him (behind everyones back, a man that took thousands of slaves from egypt and told them he will find the promise land, and no doubt many dying in the desert sun) by a fictitous being, that we should take it as the truth. A god that has lived with us since the begining of time that only the pope can communicate with.

I say he sat down had a smoke and made it all up just to keep the peace with the people he took from egypt, no-one can prove me wrong, so it is pointless.

Live for today, stop dwelling on the past, some questions will never be answered, but what we do have is a plant that has an illegal status and no-one knows why, this is today, the here and now, why not find out the truth about that?

Why do we have to live in a so called drug free world, is it because we are not really free and we are only pumped with the drugs that the unknown leaders want us to take. Drugs that won't let you ask them question?

The Torah is the oldest religious text in the world and there IS also good evidence it has a code in it which is under investigation by NSA,Im hinting at ET involvment.Now,you may think im nuts,thats ok,but i have been researching this and it is very likely real so may be you wil think twice before closing your mind and look !!!
Yes, some questions will never be answered especially if we dont ask.

If you have a cut, rub some bud on it. It will keep you from getting an infection.

[truedruid]

it was you who began this by christian bashing
yes it was concerning cannabis and christians with has something to do with the thread.
the torah is not part of the bible!
but rather myth
a story!
so may be you wil think twice before closing your mind and look !!!
I look, there just isn't any evidence yet, believe what you see. I see cannabis, I see lies. I would rather know why I am lied to, than listen to i have been researching this and it is very likely real which has nothing to do with the thread.
If you know why cannabis has an illegal status for 72 years I would be intrested, if no-one can come up with a sensible answer that can not be defunked. then I think it's in everyone intrest to know why there is an unjust law, maybe you could ask the bible code for an answer then it would be linked to the thread.

[clachan]

The Torah was given to Moses 3300 years ago by an unknown source and you who have only been here for a few short years and have only given it a few seconds thought come to that conclusion!
I think ineed a drink of water!!!
You,re right though,this subject belongs on another thread and if you would like an education on the subject i will try to contrbute.
I thought cannabis was a mind expanding substance,mmmmmmmm.!

Yes, i did agree to another thread a few posts ago but you ignored it,and if you read the above post you will see that.
FYI.....The Torah is the first 5 books of the bible which proves how far you,re knowledge on this subject goes.
I do hope your knowledge on the druids is better,I know a bit about that too and could debate you untill your hearts content.....are you aboy or a girl?

[truedruid]

FYI.....The Torah is the first 5 books of the bible which proves how far you,re knowledge on this subject goes.
Thanks for that, so does that mean your an expert and because you can't talk the thread you have to divert, we can all use the internet for searching up on a topic.

Why don't you go and start a thread on your new found knowledge.

I wouldn't want to debate with you, your too knowledgable on a fairy tale book that was written three thousand years ago.

I have better things to do than keep throwing sacastic remarks back at you, why don't you keep to the thread.

Well stop debating with me then,I was talking the thread untill you dragged christians into it and then engaged me in a subject you havn,t got a clue about.

New Convincing Evidence from Researchers in Sweden of the Destructive and Carcinogenic Effects of Marijuana on our DNA
by David H. Kerr
Wednesday June 24, 2009, 12:44 PM

Scientists are beginning to publish information clearly delineating the deleterious effects of marijuana smoking. For starters, they report "carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons smoked in pot are the same chemical compounds that are found in automobile exhaust, industrial emissions and smoke from burning wood, charcoal and tobacco and other things your lungs don't want." It took us hundreds of years and many deaths before we realized the harmful effects of tobacco smoking. Hopefully we have learned from this and will listen now to what the researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden are telling us. Pot will hurt you!

Cannabis Smoke Versus Tobacco Smoke

Cannabis smoke contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, including greater concentrations of certain aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene, prompting fears that chronic marijuana inhalation may be a risk factor for tobacco-use related cancers. However, marijuana smoke also contains cannabinoids such as THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), which are non-carcinogenic and demonstrate anti-cancer properties in vivo and in vitro. By contrast, nicotine promotes the development of cancer cells and their blood supply. In addition, cannabinoids stimulate other biological activities and responses that may mitigate the carcinogenic effects of smoke, such as down-regulating the inflammatory arm of the immune system that is responsible for producing potentially carcinogenic free radicals (unstable atoms that are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer).

Cannabis smoke – unlike tobacco smoke – has not been definitively linked to cancer in humans, including those cancers associated with tobacco use. However, certain cellular abnormalities in the lungs have been identified more frequently in long-term smokers of cannabis compared to non-smokers. Chronic exposure to cannabis smoke has also been associated with the development of pre-cancerous changes in bronchial and epithelium cells in similar rates to tobacco smokers. Cellular abnormalities were most present in individuals who smoked both tobacco and marijuana, implying that cannabis and tobacco smoke may have an additive adverse effect on airway tissue. The results suggest that long-term exposure to cannabis smoke, particularly when combined with tobacco smoking, is capable of damaging the bronchial system in ways that could one day lead to respiratory cancers. However, to date, no epidemiologic studies of cannabis-only smokers have yet to reveal such a finding. Larger, better-controlled studies are warranted.

Cannabis consumers who desire the rapid onset of action associated with inhalation but who are concerned about the potential harms of noxious smoke can dramatically cut down on their intake of carcinogenic compounds by engaging in vaporization rather than smoking. Cannabis vaporization limits respiratory toxins by heating cannabis to a temperature where cannabinoid vapors form (typically around 180-190 degrees Celsius), but below the point of combustion where noxious smoke and associated toxins (i.e., carcinogenic hydrocarbons) are produced (near 230 degrees Celsius). Because vaporization can deliver doses of cannabinoids while reducing the users intake of carcinogenic smoke, it is considered to be a preferred and likely safer method of cannabis administration than smoking marijuana cigarettes or inhaling from a water pipe. According to the findings of a recent clinical trial, use of the Volcano vaporizing device delivered set doses of THC to subjects in a reproducible manner while suppressing the intake of respiratory toxins.

"Our results show that with the Volcano, a safe and effective cannabinoid delivery system seems to be available to patients," investigators at Leiden University's Institute of Biology (the Netherlands) concluded.

"The final pulmonal uptake of THC is comparable to the smoking of cannabis, while avoiding the respiratory disadvantages of smoking.

Hello boys and girls. its me again
Im sorry i have completely trashed your thread,but it only shows how weak the pro cannabis thing is.No one wants to see their kids completely wankered out of it with this super strong skunk,apart from some of you.For this reason i had to speak up.The day i see my son come home with bloodshot eyes it would honestly break my heart,youngster need us to be in control and BE THERE.
Maybe you should smoke your shit and stop making an issue of it,and people like me will let you get on with it.But starting a thread meant to be pro cannabis propergander is,nt on, i mean "The truth about cannabis".....come on.
Why cant you get on with it quietly,we dont mind.
I entered this thread with a valid point of veiw and was mocked for my opinion, the first replay to my first post was " Oh pluuuuuusssssse".That kinda pissed me off.

[drhemp]

Noone would want to see their kids wankered on super strength alcohol, but you join our Government to demonize cannabis. Most people do not get wankered on cannabis, they get pleasantly stoned. This is the norm! In any case, if you don't want kids to get hold of cannabis, then support allowing a Dutch-style licensed coffeshop system in the UK.

In face of Government lies about cannabis, pot smokers will continue to redress the balance with some truth about cannabis.

You are welcome to join in the debate, albeit with the same failed arguments of the prohibitionists, perhaps from the same book Gordon Brown gets his misinformation from, but we will continue to tell the truth about cannabis and campaign not to be criminalised for the use of a herb that grows naturally on the planet.

I have the same veiw on alcohol,Im into legallisation of cannabis.Anyway why drag booze into this ?
It boils down to this.....You say cannabis is good,I say not.It may be good for you and gives you sensual pleasure,for many others it is something they wished they,d never started.The point is you pushing the issue.
Im not saying,or ever have done,to prohibit dope,just that its potentially bad for you, and that has to be said,rather than you having it all your own way.
If i ever were to get into this debate seriously then im sure my 22 year old daughter whos life has been shattered because of dope will join in.
Oh,and by the way that hybid super weed.....even 1 or 2 good draws can fuck you for hours

[truedruid]

Oh,and by the way that hybid super weed.....even 1 or 2 good draws can fuck you for hours
That's why we need full legalation, their are three reason's why people are growing strong skunk.
1) the use of lights in dark basements to stop detection.
2) grow as strong as you can to insure quick sale.
3) they don't know how to grow it and therefore have unstable ratios of chemicals within the plant
coupled with the fact that you buy what you are dealt and have no choice of strains of cannabis.
Cannabis grows for nothing, why would people spend money on expensive light systems if they could just grow in a greenhouse.

The reason for the alcohol comments are.
1) beer is a lot stronger than it was in the sixties, one beer and kids are runnning around having accidents and killing theirselves or innoccent members of the public.
2) Kids are able to get hold of alcohol very easierly, selling it in supermarkets give the impression that it is a harmless drink and fun drink as much as you can, some still don't see alcohol as a drug but more like a harmless drink.
3) the production of super strength beer and cider is unneccessary.
4) the production of alcopops is aimed a one age group to get them accustomed to drinking.
5) Gordon Brown claims cannabis is deadly, yet dosn't concider alcohol too much of a problem and we just need to treat alcoholics.
6) No-one asked for 24hr drinking, even though the netherlands have relaxed laws they still close the coffee shops at midnight which is very much accepted.
7) alcohol cause's mental illness in some of the public, yet this is never been a issue in the past in fact it can kill you.
8) only this week a medical student died from mixing GBL with alcohol, yet there are calls for the government to ban GBL, there have been previous deaths from GBL but again mixed with alcohol. one quoted "I had taken G before, but that night I had drunk alcohol earlier and I think that's what made me overdose. It's a great high, but never again." yet alcohol seems to be this holy drink, mix any drugs with alcohol and the risk of death is very high, but it's never an alcohol problem.
This can only come down to the fact that alcohol producers line the pockets of the government, which means they are misleading the public.

I would rather my son go out on a friday night, have a smoke and come home safe than knock back cheap white lightening cider and risk death. I would advise him to smoke pure, but mixing it with tobacco is the norm. have a pint of beer to your self and there's no problem smoke weed without passing it around and you are class as a pothead, it's all propergander to alienate cannabis use to keep the alcohol business going.

everyone fear of cannabis are brought about by lies, legalise it and have genuine studies, oyu never know it might save the plant.

[truedruid]

If i ever were to get into this debate seriously then im sure my 22 year old daughter whos life has been shattered because of dope will join in.
More of a reason for legalisation, she could get help before it got out of control rather than do it underground until it's too late. I'm sure there's enough alcoholics out that have been saved by cannabis, maybe we could start a good debate, but what good will that do, your all ready on the fence about the debate, it's the government who aren't listen, you know the one's that go to church every week. http://www.encod.org/info/THE-CANNABIS-TRIBUNAL-IN-THE-HAGUE.html. I mean I don't want to bash them, but they are bashing first. They are the ones who make it illegal I just say it's a plant it can't be made illegal

You say cannabis is good there have not been enough studies to say that, but on the other hand the government say it is deadly which is also decieving.

just that its potentially bad for you, so is roast beef, most who smoke cannabis try to lead healthy lives, most would rather vapourise, but the illegality of weed produces contaminated cannabis, which I agree is harmful.

[truedruid]

You say cannabis is good,I say not.It may be good for you

They say red wine is good for you.

If one thinks it is good and another doesn't, that doesn't make it deadly!

I have the same veiw on alcohol,Im into legallisation of cannabis.Anyway why drag booze into this ?
It boils down to this.....You say cannabis is good,I say not.It may be good for you and gives you sensual pleasure,for many others it is something they wished they,d never started.The point is you pushing the issue.
Im not saying,or ever have done,to prohibit dope,just that its potentially bad for you, and that has to be said,rather than you having it all your own way.
If i ever were to get into this debate seriously then im sure my 22 year old daughter whos life has been shattered because of dope will join in.
Oh,and by the way that hybid super weed.....even 1 or 2 good draws can fuck you for hours

yeah its great isnt it. so much better for you than having to smoke a massive spliff of bush weed


its a fantastic list isnt it druid. soooo many positive applications. im not gonna quote your post tho

[drhemp]

Clachan, all we're asking for is the right to be able to legally possess or grow cannabis in the privacy of our own homes the the right to be able to buy and/or smoke cannabis in a licensed coffeeshop. Nobody's talking about ramming it down anyone's throat.

Yes we talk about the truth about cannabis, because the Government, in order to justify their failed policies of prohibition deliberately lie about the dangers of cannabis, which not only is unethical in itself to lie on purpose, it makes the wholes message about the dangers of all drugs a complete nonsense, which is incidentally what the New World Order want, as they have a vested interest in the criminal drugs trade. I should argue when the Government lies about the dangers of ecstasy this is also counterproductive.

[clachan]

Druid man, that list was quite honestly ridiculous,if i could be bothered i could match that with the opposing point of veiw.I think you,re angry at me are,t you?
I will keep my argument simple,it is easy to understand,I dont need to spew out a PHD to do it.
If you think dope betters our community then i think you,re wrong.
If you,re happy on drugs thats fine by me.
I think society is better off without it along with millions of other,you are a minority.
The ONLY reason i was attracted to this thread was because i wanted to share my experiences with everyone and give the subject my truth.
Why do you always drag booze into this, what sort of yard stick is that to measure anything by?
I will always oppose promotion of cannabis mainly because of what it does to young people,I HAVE seen lively,active young girls and boy full of potential turn into potheads.
It doesn,t matter how many sites you reel off does it?

[truedruid]

Gordon Browns excuse
Ask The PM - Cannabis - YouTube

We are going to tell kids about the harmful affects of cannabis, and make better revisions for when they become alcoholics.

We will help families affected by alcohol.

Advise is drink and drive, lose your license, country pubs who needs 'em, close them down and buy alcohol from supermarkets and drink at home.

This man is a nutter.

if you watch his bottom lip and his solomn look it clearly show signs of someone taking high doses of antidepressants.

I would rather my Prime minister smoking weed and living for peace, than on antidepressants and being programmed like a robot for war.

Do you think society would be better off without alcohol too? If so, then are entitled to your puritanical views, but please do not be misguided that you are in the majority. It's funny how people who are totally misguided on cannabis feel their views should be forced onto society.

The truth is cannabis is nowhere near as dangerous as our lying Government says it is and it even has therapeutic benefits. The facts are most people who use cannabis do so causing no problem to themselves or society whatsoever. The vast majority of cannabis use is non-problematic. People use cannabis to enjoy themselves, not to destroy themselves. It is absurd to be in a situation where alcohol is freely available, yet cannabis, which is far less dangerous, is illegal, and its users threatened with imprisonment at the hands of our fascist government.

I don't see what the fact you have young children has to do with a debate on what adults should be allowed to freely put into their own bodies? I have young children too, just as I don't take them to the pub with me when I want to have a few beers, I don't smoke cannabis in front of them. Having children does not give you the right to moralise to other adults about using cannabis.

[truedruid]

Druid man, that list was quite honestly ridiculous,if i could be bothered i could match that with the opposing point of veiw.
No you couldn't, if you could you would have done.

The ONLY reason i was attracted to this thread was because i wanted to share my experiences with everyone and give the subject my truth.
no the reason you were attracted to the site is because you quit smoking cannabis because you don't want you 5yr old son to see you with red eyes and to keep up the protense of you absconding. You thought you would tell everyone that when you stopped smoking you could not sleep and when you did you sweated, claiming it was because of the cannabis, yet you don't even know what your skunk was grown with and whether there were any other underlying factors. in fact you spoke about a subject you know very little of.

If you think dope betters our community then i think you,re wrong.

I don't think our community betters without a lot of things, one being people living in fear. I think people living behind close doors worrying whether their neighbour will vindictively phone the police because they smelt cannabis.

I think you,re angry at me are,t you?
No I just think you are niave and bored and dying to enjoy yourself but living in pain of absconding from cannabis. one of the signs of having a hard time living ing a boring world is to be vindictive and become a cannabis hater, if you don't want it, that's fare enough, but why should we all go without. we are not a minority we just have to keep our mouths shut, in fear.

[truedruid]

I will always oppose promotion of cannabis
Promotion, and legalisation with the truth is entirely two different things.
I see alcohol promoted in front of my son, this substance kills.

clachan, your government is lying to you. fight for legalisation of cannabis (not the promotion of it) and ban the promotion of alcohol or are you too brainwashed to think for yourself.

[clachan]

After reading replies from druid man and hemp it is plain for all to see their short term memories are non existant. Go back through my posts lads and everything you have itemised is there.My veiws on.....
!. Alcohol
2.Your personal activities
3.Yongsters
However,there is several accusations leveled at me i must address...
1.I became aware of government propergander and "brainwashing" back in 1982 during the Falklands war where i lost close mates,young men of 19 and 20 years of age,The parachute regiment training programme is a brainwash,so dont talk down to me you idiot.Where were you then,probably just a speck in ya old mans bollocks.
2.If i had broad band and my computer wasn,t 10 years old i could answer all that crap which you hav,nt even read yourself.
3.Bored.....sometimes,but even if that were true i still recon counteracting this propergander is worth my time.
O, and by the way,the druids have been gone for centuries,grow up.

[truedruid]

so dont talk down to me you idiot
are you angry?

,grow up.
are you angry with me?

1.I became aware of government propergander and "brainwashing" back in 1982 during the Falklands war where i lost close mates,young men of 19 and 20 years of age,
well stop arguing and go and do something about, I was well aware of it before then, and never joined the army.

2.If i had broad band and my computer wasn,t 10 years old i could answer all that crap which you hav,nt even read yourself.
funny you seem to know so much, why do you need your computer I thought you had your own experiences or did you make that up aswell, you've probably smoked one joint and know it all.

I think you have some anger issues probably brought on from being in the army, if you think cannabis causes mental illness you need to look at the problems being in the armed forces does, if you look into cannabis it has help allot of people scared by being forces maybe you should think about how the prohibition is affecting them.

[clachan]

Whatever you say.I think i,ve answered everything,just dont like being spoken down to by an idiot.

[supertzar]

Would you simply state in one post what you think the potential dangers of smoking pure organic Cannabis are, clachan? I'd like to clean this up of all the extraneous ideas and get down to the actual issues you have with smoking pure Cannabis.

[apekteina lordosis]

i've seen first hand over the last 20 years the carnage that alcohol does to some lifes. it destroys people. however one does to remember to be rational and comprehend that underneath alcoholism there are usually souls unable to cope with the affliction of formative experiences.

this world has become a cruel and brutal place, where a pisshead tramp on the street is shunned and few stop to consider that at some point in the past that vagrant was sober, washed and most importantly happy.

on average 1000 ex-armed services sleep rough on the streets of the capital every night. meanwhile most of the 600plus rooms of buckingham palace are uninhabited. these are people who swore allegiance to the monarch, who were prepared to die for their country, many of them no doubt saw "action" but eventually they hit civvy street and for whatever reason their lives when to shitsville and they ended up broke and destitute, sleeping on cardboard in the doorway of some shop. many of them 1000 if they hadn't turned to booze wouldn't be there. but hey! heavy drinking is part of army culture! i wonder why? well it's social innit? ganja is social too, but due to its illegality it's not accepted by the majority thanks to the shite the msm spout plus obviously you can't smoke in public places. i don't blame soldiers for drinking, afterall by virtue of the job they do it requires a strict repression of the individual, and if bullets are whizzing about come end of tour or duty one would need to let the inhibitions out. though equally i can comprehend why the armed forces don't allow soldiers to smoke ganja, as said cannonfodder might find themselves thinking "too much" and coming to the conclusion wtf were they doing with their lives. *sighs* why did we allow life to become so complicated?

bit of warble there, apols. frankly alcohol is shite, illegality of ganja is shite, money is shite, war is shite, modern life is shite, human beings are treated like shite.

[clachan]

Thank the good lord in heaven you,re back! Dealing wih druid man is tiresome to say the least.
OK.....I dont have any problem with you smoking till your blue in the face,your choice.I just think[as ive said before] that young people who read these posts know that it is a drug which MAY not be good for them.If it weren,t for people like me they would only see the pro argument.I only saw the heading "the truth about cannabis and drugs".Ive only given my thoughts and, thats the idea isnt it?

I know you think it may not be good for people to smoke Cannabis. I'm asking you to plainly state exactly what you think might happen if someone does.

[drhemp]

For the most part they would get stoned and enjoy the experience, however, because a very tiny percentage of cannabis users either abuse the substance or have negative effects from its use, there are some who would argue this is good enough reason to stop everybody from enjoying the many benefits of this wonderful herb.

Even if you believe the Government's lies about the dangers of cannabis, prohibition is still illogical, as it's readily available anyway regardless of its legal status, the main difference being in Holland there are some quality controls, it is taxed, and it is considerably harder for minors to get hold of, due to it only being sold from licensed coffeeshops who don't sell to under 18s.

[clachan]

I know you think it may not be good for people to smoke Cannabis. I'm asking you to plainly state exactly what you think might happen if someone does.
I have seen first hand the effect on 17 to 24 year olds[roughly] who start smoking cannabis,esoecially skunk.Basically it sedates them and deprives them of the normal "zip" and alertness they normally have.
eg.My daughter had a freind she new from school,he was into judo and was working his way up the belts,doing well.At some point,aged 17 i think, he just lost all motivation.He,d discovered weed.
You may say theres no provable link, but im sorry,it was obvious.Today he may well have been black belt,fit as fuck,bright eyed and bushy tailed,but no he never lived up to his full potential.....sad.
In an ever increasingly dangerous world the next generation should be alert and well imformed,they wont be that on skunk.

[apekteina lordosis]

This is a very well thought out post,thankyou.
I like your swirling dervish!

thanks :)

fully comprehend why you wish to protect younger people from da herb, though to be fair to others in this thread i doubt anyone of them is advocating the youth using any substance, however youth are youth and they tend to experiment and frankly i think most people on this forum (if i might be so bold to suggest) would prefer them to experiment with ganja if it were available legally. that way they could smoke some, i dunno say, typical grown outdoor common african bush rather than some high strength skunk.

all of us should remember that the brain does not finish developing til the human body is 24 years old. but youth are people transforming from child to adult and society tends to encourage them to attempt to behave as the latter rather than the former.

i am sorry to hear your daughter had unpleasant experiences with ganja and i hope with time she finds peace of mind, however as a father you might want to consider that fundamentally there is a root cause to misery which affects most of us and that root should be the target, rather than some of focusing on this and others on that by-product, as it just perpetuates the divide and conquer and allows the root cause to flourish.

and apols if i am off the mark a bit, 20plus pages of a thread takes time to read and there are plenty of 20plus threads on this forum.

[truedruid]

Dealing wih druid man is tiresome to say the least.
It's because your talking about a subject you know nothing about, you seem to blurt your mouth off and become sarcastic when you think you do.

"the truth about cannabis and drugs".
that' what you do a lot of make it up as you go along, try reading the thread again there's no mention of drugs.

Also if you read Dr Hemp post you would have realised that he posted a documentary called The truth about cannabis, which was meant to be an unbias view on cannabis, which has so many flaws it has been discrieted by both sides.

The only thing I can read in your post is that none of the members of your family can smoke without it sending you mad, that's cool and if you want to advise kids on that do yourself a favour and at least back it up with scientific knowledge and not just rambling on about how you don't like it, kids see straight through it. at least give them an alternative, people have taken drugs since the year dot and they are not going to stop because the slave drivers order it. Why don't you start up a thead and give your pennies worth there if you think you have a message to give out. Dr Hemp thread was very unbias and I don't see where he has promoted that kids should smoke weed.

From your point of veiw i think druid man is counter productive.
utter dribble, I think they call people like you a troll.


though equally i can comprehend why the armed forces don't allow soldiers to smoke ganja, as said cannonfodder might find themselves thinking "too much"I think that is the whole reason behind prohibtion, also the upgrade was mainly because people in the armed force began smoking it as they thought it was ok, when it was dropped it has nothing to do with kids.
most soldiers join the army because they want to be told what to do then once they are burnt out the army let them go but unfortunatly they are still niave when it come to support oneself and they are complete lost. It's sad really.

[truedruid]

apekteina lordosis.

very well said, I have my son who is 16 and going on to sixth form, he never smoked all the years I did, now I have stopped he has begun smoking I am lost what to do with him he, he would rather smoke than drink which is a bonus, but what does he smoke? do I get it for him, which then he will turn me into a dealer, Grow it myself where I may this time have my daughters removed and sent to foster homes plus all his mates will come to him. or leave him and watch him smoke cannabis far too strong and grown with baby bio. I feel like moving to the Dam, but he has his education. and I am british and wish to stay hear.

I'm not for promoting Cannabis just understand that some have a gene which force them to experiment with plants like explorers traveling the world and making cannabis and many over psychedelic plants illegal and forbidden is similar to imprisoning the mind.

[diamondgeezer]

Utter nonsense, no link between mental health whatsoever, all government lies, anyway, we're not asking the Government to legalise cannabis for kids, we're asking them to legalise it for over 18s.

If you are genuinely worried about kids getting hold of cannabis then why don't you join us in calling for the Government to allow the sale of cannabis in licensed coffeeshops, like in The Netherlands? In The Netherlands, there is lower usage of cannabis among minors than in the UK precisely because the sale is regulated and it can only be bought in licensed premises where there are strict penalties for selling to minors.

No Dutch coffeeshops will ever sell to under 18s because if they get caught doing that twice they get closed down, end of. Hence why cannabis usage in higher in other European countries because the supply is left to the criminal black market.

Yep.

And look what leaving the supply to the criminal black market has done here: shitty cheap 'soapbar'...specially formulated for the British market in skips...it can contain anything from vinyl to used engine oil to dogshit (yes seriously, dogshit!). Thats what we'd be stuck with today if it wasn't for the decent homegrown weed industry.

20 years ago quality resin was the norm in the UK, with several different varietys available...afghani black, nepalese black, red leb, gold leb (now known as 'pollen' I think), slate rocky, etc etc. Now you have to go to the Dam to find these as a rule.

[clachan]

Druid man,where in my posts did i mention daughter going mad? If you read my post correctly you will see that isaid it had shattered her life,she became involved with dope and the consequences ruined her life.
Now, im not a dafty and i know when an idiot is only trying to piss me off by resorting to insulting me and my family,Ive been married for 25 years and have 3 lovley kids......and we are living happily on our farm in southern France..................... try again idiot.

I'm not for promoting Cannabis just understand that some have a gene which force them to experiment with plants like explorers traveling the world and making cannabis and many over psychedelic plants illegal and forbidden is similar to imprisoning the mind.

the only angle that i can think might be helpful would be for you to buy it (afterall, you have far more experience of ganja than he) and make cakes with it. that way you can have some control of the potency and when he uses it. when he is out and about with his mates it is obviously far harder to "manage" but you'd be opening some ground rules and a process of dialogue (not that i am suggesting you don't have that at the mo). does he have hobbies/sports he enjoys or would like to try? i dunno, introduce him to country walks fuelled by some ganjacake aka showing him ganja can be a spiritual tool and/or handing out da cake at the end of the working week to de-stress. it's all about moderation really and you are wise enough to be accepting he has some space-cadet genes in him, i'm sure it will all be okay in the long run.

apols if that is out of order or unrealistic, it's just shit that they criminalize ganja in the first place, something if educated to da youth might well open their minds somewhat.

[truedruid]

she became involved with dope and the consequences ruined her life.
I surprised that happened with such a clued up father like yourself.

and we are living happily on our farm in southern France..................... try again idiot so what your saying is "I live in france so when you talk about legalising cannabis in england I just like to stick my nose in and stir up trouble", like sticking two fingers up "I live in france". well that's nice maybe you should stop blame cannabis for your neglect of your daughter. It's not cannabis it's your parenting skills.

[clachan]

Druid man, is there not a stone circle near you where you can have some fun ?
She was given it at school by some kids apparently,got caught,gendermaire got involved,the shit hit the fan.
Out of my control really,luckilly she has 2 loving parents who can support her.
Maybe you can stop your pathetic efforts to wind meup now,you are making yourself look like an even bigger idiot than you already are,if that is possible and increasingly looking like a troll in "sheeps" cloving. LOL

[truedruid]

Oh so she had a smoke at school and it messed her life up, though she's alright because her level headed dad who drive 26 mile for a 16th of soap bar supported her and now you want to tell everyone about this terrible experience so no other kids who made be reading this post don't end up down the wrong path.

out of your control, I think you just love to spread fear from your little french farm house, I have contributed this this thread with good information, what have you brought apart from insults and scaremongerying, as I have said before why don't you start up a thread with your experiences with cannabis and warn the youth of today of how bad it was, traveling those 26 miles and sweating in bed when you decided to quit your life of drugs. It's very interesting and scary, you make me want to quit, well I cerntainly won't smoke what you did.

It sounds like you are throthing at the mouth druid man!
You accuse ME of insults,I think i need a strong cup of tea!!!
FYI.....my farmhouse has 5 bedrooms,10x5M pool and 8 acres of meadow.Would you like some photos?
Which reminds me,ive got 13 tonne of hay to shift tommorow,so good nite.

[clachan]

Hang on druid man,in your prvious post you said you had already quit,now your saying that i make you want to quit............are you telling porkies?

[truedruid]

yes, send the photos, and let your ruined daughter post aswell I 'm sure she'll put us all off drugs aswell. you have been asked so many questions and you've answered none of them, your a sick messed up man and just trolling this thread. your a waste of time.

[clachan]

I did not join in on this thread to hurt anyone,rather the contrary.
Druid man is quite obviously ill.
He is a follower of men, not his own master......yes Mr Hemp,no Mr Hemp,can i lick your bottom Mr Hemp?
I have come to this thread and stood my ground against the many,DI did that too all be it in a grander way.
Iam ashamed to say i let myself get dragged into a ridiculous squabble with a coward scumbag.
Just read that horrible last post he sent,how low can a "man" get.My daughter is a lovely girl who would help anyone.
Is he your freind Dr Hemp?
My conclusion is that maybe years of smoking dope has warped his mind,who knows least of all me.
It would be a pleasure to bump into any of you again on another thread,Im sure we have some common ground,as for the coward i will just ignore any further taunt in order to maintain order,he,s a joke.
I will post you a photo of Jessica,she,s beautifull.

[truedruid]

I have come to this thread and stood my ground against the many
No you havn't, many have asked you question and you keep come back trying to attack with your insults.

Iam ashamed to say i let myself get dragged into a ridiculous squabble with a coward scumbag.
There you go again, you have come here to try and knock anyone who wrote on here who is pro cannabis, I am the only one who got great amusement in winding you up, you began trying to wind me up and I just kept throwing it back, you didn't start attacking me until page 16 by that time you had insulted enough people that you'd even apologised. You just couldn't help but bite the bait. you're a I've done all the drugs kiddies and my advice is just say no, well I can tell I wouldn't touch the drugs you've done and you've never done the sacred plants I have. so all I can say is the drugs you've done must have been so contaminated its messed with your mind, maybe you're right kids should listen to you. their'll see how messed up you are and steer clear.

as for the coward i will just ignore any further taunt in order to maintain order,not bad it's only taken you 7 pages.

I will post you a photo of Jessica,she,s beautifull. I'm sure she is, good job you can't show her brain cause it must be so messed up, especially after you straightened her out from that terrible episode with the cannabis. I'm suprised she can stand long enough to have her photo taken, you could open your 5 bedroom farm house into a rehab with all your experience.

I guarantee many of the top martial artists in the world smoke the herb. Bruce Lee is said to have enjoyed smoking and he was tireless in training. A large percentage of NBA basketball players smoke according to one player. They even smoke before games. In case you didn't realize, Cannabis has an effect of enhancing existing abilities. It can help you get into The Zone, where everything flows effortlessly.

lol.....mate, i spend 4 days in the dam every year (for the last 6 :p) & im sure ive smoked everything that can be smoked...

i recognize the ''Diesel'' from hemp's post, but i couldn't recite the different types, i just know sativa has an underlying taste that genetics just cannot shake.



:)SK
here in california legalization is very close. through "word of mouth", in a day, for a hundred dollars, you can buy a medical perscription from a doctor. there are shops in the larger cities where you can purchase it in several strengths and forns such as pills, oils elixers, buds, etc... some is really strong, but expensive. as a card carrier you can legally posess a pound, but must be transported in the trunk(bonnet) you also can grow for personal use. all these crazy names given to types/strains confuse me. back in the day (68-80) here in california, the names given, were where it came from, and you knew what you were getting and everything had its unique personality... columbian, viet namese, oaxaca(a state in mexico) jamaican, hawaiian etc... today it all has a funny name, cronic, skunk, rag,etc... we have lots of good local here and everybody tags a funny name. you've got to look and smell to know whats up.

back in the day (68-80) here in california, the names given, were where it came from,
slodave as far as I know there are only three types of cannabis from that, combinations are made and the names come from the breeder. The type of soil and strength of the sun from the place they are grow used to mean something but that will only count if full legalisation happens. best to go with the chemical make up and taste than strength and price. But that's only my opinion!

I guarantee many of the top martial artists in the world smoke the herb. Bruce Lee is said to have enjoyed smoking and he was tireless in training. A large percentage of NBA basketball players smoke according to one player. They even smoke before games. In case you didn't realize, Cannabis has an effect of enhancing existing abilities. It can help you get into The Zone, where everything flows effortlessly.

Bruce Lee ??????????????????????????????????????????
It Can also do the opposite.

Cannabis is on the list of prohibited substances in the practice of sport, although its performance enhancing effect has not yet been proved.

Maybe there isn't any maybe there is, if it was legal people would be open the study the fact. I think your case that everyone should be alert and well informed is utter rubbish as you have said before you abused drugs and now you want to force kids to live how you think they should. I used to live with my martial arts teacher and he was a total stoner and he was seventh dan, maybe you daughter friend got bored of fighting, not everyone wants to be sport stars.

If it wasn't enhancing they should let the sport stars smoke it if they want and prove a point.

[drael]

Wow, Im not getting involved in this debate, per se, because opinions on marijuana are largely formed via experience, for beleif structures and emotional reasons personal to the person.

Fact is we only are just now starting to learn any decent amount about the neurochemistry and we are a long way from any real understanding of mental health.

I can only advise all here not to get involved. The person who is against drugs, strongly either 1) knows or is someone who got well carried away and/or 2) Was educated as such.

The person who is for marijuana, is someone who likes it, or has experienced it without harm, or has been around it not seeing harm.

In psychology, we call this kind of learning "superstition", it aint fact, its certainly not sciene.

Now, to ignore my own advice and get involved. :P

The research, on marijuana, mostly done recently in the UK is AMAZING. The anti-carcinogen effects of marijuana could be around 95%, which may be why there is so low incidence of lung and other problems with smoking it. The anti-ageing effects on the brain may be around 30%, possibly freeing you from neurodegenetive diseases like parkinsons, alzhiemers and demetia. And thats aside from anti-inflammatory effects that could be life-saving, anti-nasea and muscle relaxant properties that can make aids, MS or cancer treatment bearable.

And of course we all know there is no link to mental health problems, than non-casual links are only equivilant to other drugs like alcohol. (And overlaps between drug using populations), as well as little real grasp on what mental illness even is.

I would not advise anyone to smoke it heavily, or in fact do any activity obsessively. Balance in everything, is where mental health issues come up. People who are obsessive about religion, sex, tv anything can become unbalanced IMO. (CT included).

But Id invite people to try it, if only to experience more of your deeper mental processes without the scariness of a LSD trip.

Of course meditation and focus techniques are just as effective, but without knowing the actual point, theres alot of non-western discipline in getting there. And theres some wisdom in a training wheel if its not a crutch.

Western man is so far from a grasp of what mind really is. Ive completed a psychology degree. I learned stuff, it was interesting but it strikes me how much deeper say an eastern POV goes, into what mind does, or genius's like jung.

I hear "mental illness", in the western context, and to me thats like a caveman trying to describe a computer.

We despise deep mind, to even express it is "wacky". We do everything to keep busy and not think about it, or even ban it, prohibit it, as we see in much of the mental illness institutions.


...

But that, rather complex debate aside, recent research has shown cannabis to be a potential wonder drug. Something so amazing, that most of our future medicie may be based on it, and every western person will take cannabis anti-cancer anti-aging drugs like vitamens. Only prejudice holds us back from the most amazing developments and cures. No other cluster of medicinal breakthroughs in human history can compare.

Seriously, do a search for recent cannabis research. It will blow your mind, and then make you realise, parents scared for their teenagers supposed health, based on hearsay mostly, are actually holding off the future of medicine.

Are we to beleive phelps smokes dope? Thats just a picture,if this super giant of swimming was known to have smoked pot there would be uproar.
As far as basket ball players are concerned are we to believe that the highest paid sportsmen in the world risk the fotune they make by failing the regular drugs tests impossed upon them ?
Are we also to beleive that legends like Mohammed Ali,George Forman,Thomas Hearns,Marvin Hagler,Roberto Duran amongst thousands of other got to the top whilst pot smoking?
Its myths like this that ,as far as its medicinal use is concerned I agree,but every other drug has that too.
Yes,smoke if you want,just stop the exagerations and acknowledge some of the pitfalls.

There was an uproar about Phelps. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

It's common knowledge that the majority of NBA players smoke and that many of them smoke before games.

http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0315-03.htm The latest round of NBA Reefer Madness was sparked when Oakley told the New York Post (February 22), "You got guys out there playing high every night.... You got 60 percent of your league on marijuana. What can you do?"

Cesar Gracie, Coach of Nick Diaz, Discusses Marijuana Comments

Posted Apr 10, 2009 4:20PM By Michael David Smith (RSS feed)

Nick Diaz has created quite a stir in MMA circles this week by telling the Los Angeles Times that he smokes marijuana and drinks large quantities of water to help him pass drug tests before and after his fights. I requested an interview with Diaz to ask him to explain those comments, and Diaz, through spokesmen, declined.

But on Friday I caught up with Diaz's coach and manager, Cesar Gracie, for an interview in which we discussed Diaz's marijuana use and his fight on Saturday night with Frank Shamrock. The full interview, which touches on everything from Michael Phelps to Diaz's participation in triathlons to the family tree of the legendary Gracies, is below.

Michael David Smith: Nick told the Los Angeles Times that he smokes marijuana. What do you make of those comments?
Cesar Gracie: Nick has a prescription for marijuana in California. He has had a prescription for the last couple years, so it's a legal drug for him. He has the prescription for ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), and he says it helps him. I'm not a doctor, but he says it helps him and using marijuana is legal in California with a prescription. Obviously, I'd rather he focus more on talking about fighting than on being a cannabis spokesperson, but he has a right to do what's legal in California, so I don't think it's that big a deal.

It's legal by California law, but he still has to pass a test from the California State Athletic Commission, and he'll be in trouble if he tests positive, right?
If he tests positive, yes. But what he'll do is not smoke for weeks leading up to the fight so he'll test negative. He's fought in California and passed the marijuana test. So it all worked out.

He said he drinks 10 pounds of water a day. I interpreted that as saying that large quantities of water help you get the drugs out of your system. Is that what he meant by that?
I beileve so. He was talking about not smoking and flushing it out of his system. As much as he exercises, he burns off fat and flushes it out of his system. But remember, in California it's legal. You just can't be stoned during your fight -- you can't test positive during your fight.

Your name is legendary in MMA and Brazilian jiu jitsu. What is your opinion of whether smoking marijuana is consistent with being an MMA fighter or a Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner?
I would have always said no, and I've told Nick several times, "Athletes can't do this." But I guess I've been proven wrong. Look at Michael Phelps. Look at Nick, who fights and does triathlons. I definitely wouldn't encourage people to use marijuana. It's my personal opinion that any kind of smoke, whether it be cigarette smoke or marijuana smoke, common sense would say it's detrimental.

Watching Nick fight, and knowing that he participates in triathlons, it's obvious that he has very good cardio. I would think that wouldn't be consistent with smoking anything, but he has good cardio and obviously Michael Phelps has good cardio.
I'm not a scientist and I'm not a doctor. I would be concerned with long term, 20 years from now what are his lungs going to look like? I just wouldn't gamble with that. Most of the people I've met in my life who are habitual marijuana smokers are couch potatoes and don't have a lot of motivation. Obviously guys like Phelps, other athletes who smoke marijuana -- I've heard of pro football players smoking marijuana -- I don't have a right to tell them and I don't have a right to tell you not to have a beer and I don't have a right to say not to smoke marijuana. It's a medical prescription that he has a prescription for. I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's not cheating. Remember, the Athletic Commission, their argument for banning marijuana is actually that it could hurt you -- you could be lethargic and unable to protect yourself. It's not cheating, it's that it could be to your detriment. That's why they don't want you to be on it. It's not like steroids. I think the media should focus on serious issues like steroids and pain pills, not minor issues like this.

Let's talk about the fight. You have fought Frank Shamrock. What's your scouting report on him?
I think he's a hard hitter. He's an athlete. He's explosive. He's very strong. He's a really good MMA striker. He's got so much experience and he brings that experience into the cage with him, so you're not going to surprise him. He's got a winner's mentality. He's going to make you earn it, for sure.

I was a little surprised when this fight was announced, just because Nick has fought at lightweight and Frank Shamrock has fought at middleweight. Is 179 pounds a good weight for this fight?
Nick would have taken that fight at any weight. He's a fighter. He's one of those guys who's going to take the fight because he wants the challenge. When he was fighting at lightweight, that was a tremendous cut for him and I really didn't like to see him that light. It took him a long time to get there and I don't think he was at his best at lightweight. I think Nick and Frank will walk into the cage at about the same weight. Obviously Frank is more used to fighting around that weight so that might be an advantage.

We're a couple of hours from the weigh in. What will Nick weigh in at today?
About 180, same as Frank, probably. The weight class is 179 with a one-pound allowance, so I assume both guys will come in at 180.

What kind of shape is Nick in right now? Will he have any rust because he hasn't fought in a while?
It's been a while but Frank is coming off a layoff and his arm was broken from a kick. He's in good shape and I think it's going to be a good fight.

How do you think Strikeforce is coming along after buying the EliteXC assets?
It's doing well. I've been around some of these MMA promotions that were like a dot-com start-up, coming in and spending crazy money, hiring too many people and giving ridiculous contracts to some of the fighters, paying people what they weren't worth. Scott Coker, the head of Strikeforce, is a different kind of planner. He's doing things the right way. I think he's going to be very successful.

I know you also coach Gilbert Melendez, who's on the co-main event. How's he doing and what do you expect us to see from him Saturday night?
Gilbert is in phenomenal shape. He really is. Unfortunately Josh Thomson broke his leg, and now Gilbert is fighting a different kind of opponent in Rodrigo Damm, so he's having to make some adjustments. He's a dangerous submission specialist with good stand-up and good wrestling skills, so he's well rounded. Gilbert doesn't have quite the pedigree in submission grappling that (Damm) does, but I think he's ready for this fight and in shape for a five-rounder.

You have by far the most famous last name in Brazilian jiu jitsu. Just to clarify, are you Royce Gracie's first cousin?
You know, I don't know what that is. Second cousin, I think. His father is my great uncle. We've had people in the family having kids until they're 60 years old or something, so it's kind of funny. Royce should be a lot older than me.

So he's a generation older than you but he's not many years older than you?
Yeah. Exactly.

I think that makes him your cousin once removed.
That sounds right. Cousin once removed? That sounds good.

Well, thanks for your time. Is there anything else you want to say?
Just that I hope it's clear that I'm definitely not a proponent of the whole marijuana thing or whatever. I'm just saying that it's legal in California just like alcohol is legal. That's the bottom line.

[drhemp]

Dr hemp, if the news of the world were to print a picture of phelps on the surface of mars would you beleiv that too.

While it would appear that we both share a dislike of the News of the World, that pic was widely reported around the world as genuine and was never denied by Phelps himself, who I seem to remember received some minor reprimand from the sporting bodies.

I think more likely is you don't like it when I post something contrary to your 'cannabis is bad m'kay' message.

I see a problem with clachan's cognitive pattern. He assumes that something "can't be true because..." when all he has to do is click a few buttons to know what is true in reality. It's like my girlfriend's grandmother who said she didn't believe that THC shrinks tumors because "If it did, they would be using it."

[drhemp]

I think what has happened is perhaps Clachan took a lot of drugs when he was younger, had a negative experience and burned himself out. What he fails to realise is this the exception rather than the norm, so he feels obliged to warn others of the danger, based on his experiences, even though the danger, certainly with cannabis, just isn't really there for most people, aside from whatever the risks are of inhaling cannabis smoke, but as adults we should be allowed make that choice ourselves (or use a vaporiser). In the past reports always said cannabis smoke is less harmful than tobacco smoke, so I'm very dubious of recent reports claiming it's worse, for starters, cannabis doesn't have a load of nasty highly carcinogenic chemicals sprayed in it to make it burn easier or preserve it's freshness.

I guess it's very easy for people to think inside this box when our own Government and media are also constantly peddling these same lies about the dangers of cannabis.

What we must do is keep the 'truth about cannabis' out there, so adults can make an informed choice and hopefully one day when this Government of war criminals are in The Hague where they belong, we can go about the business of legalising cannabis in the UK, thus taking out the criminal black market, ensuring dangerous forms of cannabis doesn't hit the streets, raise tax revenue to help the needy and poor, and make it much harder for minors to get hold of cannabis.

[whiterain]

good post doc. its all about education. ive been a recreational smoker for over 10 years now, but even running in those circles its only been a year since ive started to use the herb in better more positive ways. the information about its true potential just isnt much talked about, but since realising it for myself i have used periods of smoking and periods of abstinence to essentially charge up my dreams and its working like a beast.

yes there have been small moments in the distant past when i have been too reliant on it, but now ive cut right back massively and the benefits from each toke are multiplied massively too. combining it with a bit of deep breathing and meditation really ups its potential effect and also helps to cut down on the psychological dependence as its teaching me how to find that state of mind for myself. eventually im sure i probably wont need it to feel high, but ill probably still partake because of the taste and the smoke and the psychological benefits of having it far outweigh any potential risk

yes it can cause problems in the wrong person, but personally i feel that these problems are more of a symptom of the sick society that we live in, and the unnatural nature of our day to day existence.

ironically the lifestyle that would suit it best would be something like living on a farm in france. it helps me get through any manual labour alot easier, and whats the harm with a bit of weed as long as your not one of those who still believes they have a chance of winning the rat race

[clachan]

First of all the picture is a joke,let assume it is in fact phelps,all he,s doing is holding up a flask containing brown liquid,no smoke inside it could be anything but in your desperation to counter my answer to your leading question supertzar you resort to "The news of the world"LOL
My being burn,t out,I can assure you my physical and mental state are both in fine fettle,my work is very physical and i deal with people daily....your guessing aren,t you??
Who the fuck is Nick Diaz ?
Government propergander......never been exposed to any regarding cannabis,I make my own mind up,my boss is myself and iam intelligent man.
Why do you think i came to this thread out of all the others i could be on ? I will tell 1 more time.......Because you are not giving yongster a choice,your saying....YER,smoke dope,its good for you,look at our evidence man !
Give em both sides of the story.
Tell them about the "munchies" as we called it in the uk.In case you dont know what that means I,ll tell you......Its when you eat,eat,eat,eat,eat.eat.eat,eat,eat,eat anything you can get your hands on.
Its abnormal eating is,nt it ? I new a bloke how got it bad big time,he used to eat quarter pounder cheese burgers in QUANTITY !
PS....when i say telling kids i mean your message is indiscriminate, its there for all to see and take in.

It was ALL OVER THE MEDIA. Look it up, damn. I can see there is no use arguing with you because you don't listen and you won't even lift your finger to find out a single thing. Michael Phelps lives in my town. He was supposed to show up at Hash Bash. I don't know if he did. Everyone in the world who cares to know about Phelp's smoking knows about it. Again, it was ALL OVER THE MEDIA worldwide. I have no time for you any longer, because you WANT to be ignorant. You have an internet connection. You can easily look it up, but you don't. Have a great life being prejudiced against something you refuse to understand.

Oh, and who "the fuck" is Nick Diaz?

(born August 2, 1983) is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter. He is a former WEC and IFC Welterweight champion. He has also competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Pride Fighting Championships, and Elite Xtreme Combat before it ceased operations. Diaz was promoted to black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Cesar Gracie on May 8, 2007. UFC commentator and MMA knowledgist Joe Rogan has gone as far as to call Diaz a top 10 Pound for Pound MMA fighter.

[clachan]

The bottom lineis Tarzan man is that the human body and mind is better off without drugs end of story,it doesn,t matter who says what,you know that.
you are an addict and so is hemp and idiot.
The individual simple functions as it should do without drugs,,true?
I might be a "fucking cunt"[LOL] but i dont need drink or drugs,end of.
YOU DO !!!
I used to score my shit off a bloke called Dougle, a nice bloke, untill one day i went round for my usual bit of rocky, the letter box opened and he shouted " fuck off ". His problem......his supply had dried up,what are you like when that happens to you
You have now gone the same way as idiot,i do feel sorry for the legalise cannabis campaign if its full of fools like you.

[jammasterj13]

I agree with some points Clachan makes.


It is a matter of choice at the end of the day.

I know back home in India, a lot of yogis smoke mary jane to achieve deeper levels of meditation and spiritual awareness but they don't smoke it recreationally, it's not a daily thing and they never smoke it to get there jollies.
It's a sacrament to them and in no way should it be abused.
I smoked it in my student days, the stuff was a lot better then, but it all depends who you buy off. Now I started smoking it after immersing myself into a spiritual way of life and started meditation then.
I never let it take over my life, where I started comparing strains or having a wet dream over what somebody was cooking up in there hydrophonic lab.

Mary jane does have negative side effects if abused, the key is moderation, but thats obvious for anything one may ingest.

Deep down, I think marijuana is a sacred plant and has many benefits to mankind, but it can also have a sting in its tail if you abuse it and disrespect it. Like stuff like salvia, peyote, ayahuasca I believe it has an inherent spirit and should be treated with respect.

I still say legalise it so we have control over its distribution and the quality of herb. The problem is shit quality herb. Good quality herb with nowt taken out is a great gift to mankind.

I agree that deep deep down, the human body does not need anything to reach the state one is looking for, it can be reached without it. After all it is the attachment to a physical thing that is moving you further away from a true spiritual experience.

[clachan]

Its simple really......A perfectly normal, healther human being does not need any substance to improve itself,it is as it should be like a bird,fish,lion,bear,wolf or dolphin......as the creator intended.
All else is irrelavent.

[slodave]

http://www.friendsofcannabis.com/directory/index.php?option=com_alphacontent&Itemid=58

slodave as far as I know there are only three types of cannabis from that, combinations are made and the names come from the breeder. The type of soil and strength of the sun from the place they are grow used to mean something but that will only count if full legalisation happens. best to go with the chemical make up and taste than strength and price. But that's only my opinion!
each and every area is unique and a true conniseure can taste and tell a geographical area of origin, and visually you can do the same. but you're right, in this day and age, with hydroponics, seed splitting, chemical alterations of soil, and water, plus lighting, a person can make his own signature strain and perfect it. the old school is dead and dying, unless you actually go to these areas where the good grows naturally.

[clachan]

Tarzan,you said in your previos post that phelps comes from your home town and that he was going to attend the local hash bash,but you didn,t know if he went.
Are we expected to beleive that ? You,an ardent smoker in touch with others of like mind in the same town and DOSN,T KNOW if the most sucessfull olympian in history was there or not ??
It is quite frankly funny now, MICHEAL PHELPS AT HASH BASH !!!
I think ineed a strong coffee !

[truedruid]

A perfectly normal, healther human being does not need any substance to improve itself,it is as it should be like a bird,fish,lion,bear,wolf or dolphin......as the creator intended.
utter ball, it's what makes us different to animals, humans experiment, have done for thousands of years, it's only been the last hundred that we have only been allowed alcohol and tobacco, but that has to do with multi national companies exploting the public.

I agree with some points Clachan makes.
sorry jammasterj13, I don't, if the world was full of people like clachan, who smokes soap bar that is unadultrated with crap then shout out as if he knows it all, we would be better off under dictatorship.
I still say legalise it so we have control over its distribution and the quality of herb. The problem is shit quality herb. Good quality herb with nowt taken out is a great gift to mankind.that is all everyone who is pro=cannabis is asking for numb skulls like clachan, want to twist that fact. He has never used any of the teacher plants and does not have a clue, which is evident in his posts. I wish he would stop being a troll, if he want to contribute then at least bring some knowledge apart from My daughter know this bloke. All I wish is for cannabis to be legalised so quality research can be carried out. If it is that bad then at least people have a choice as to whether to consume it or not, but the fact is our prime minister claims it is deadly and should stay illegal and alcohol stay being sold at supermarkets 24hrs a day. Tobacco has only had a dangerous label since the sixties, A doctor in the fifties was laughed at when he claimed it caused cancer then the call for cannabis to be legalised and the government decided to toughen up on smoking. there are millions of the public that feel the government are deceiving us and that surly has to be detrimental to social life, if they are going to say something is deadly when it clearly is not what else are they lying about.
