UN: POT USE OUT OF CONTROL

'IT GROWS EVERYWHERE'

By AP

WASHINGTON -- Marijuana use worldwide is out of control because the plant grows everywhere, is in high demand and is considered by many to be harmless, a UN agency said yesterday.

Antonio Maria Costa, executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, highlighted the marijuana problem at a news conference where he released his office's 2006 World Drug Report.

While governments around the world generally have succeeded in containing use of heroin, cocaine and amphetamines, marijuana is a different story, Costa said.

INCREASED THC CONTENT

"It's out of control in supply because it's a weed; it grows everywhere. It's out of control in demand because it's erroneously considered a light drug," he said. "Indeed, it is extremely problematic because of much-increased THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, content."

The UN report generally was upbeat, boasting gains including that opium poppy cultivation was down 22% in 2005.

It attributed the decline in opium poppy cultivation to cutbacks in the world's three main source countries of illicit opium: Afghanistan, Myanmar and Laos. Opium is the main ingredient for heroin.

Well thats a damn good thing. Like we cannabis smokers have always said, you CANT ban a plant, you just CANT.

It'll never work, they lost the war against drugs before they started it.

One day they'll give up and realise its good

[LIP]

indeed, but i wont rest untill every living soul smokes cannabis daily.

That'll be when our job is done.

[S.T.I.D.]

It took them this long to figure out that pot grows just like every other plant in the world...and like most plants it can be grown anywere. This has been known since the beginning of man. And these people rule the world, it makes me sick...

My reaction was "YEAH IT IS." It's okay, we'll just grow them out. And then they can put us all in jail.

At least we'll be high.

The U.S. should quit the United Nations, and kick them out of New York City -not only for this, but for many other political reasons as well, including the abuse of diplomatic immunity by U.N. representatives and their families.

See, their argument is fundamentally flawed about the increased amount of THC in bud. Even if there was more THC (Which is bullshit.. general THC amount-to-weight ratio has remained the same since the 1930's) That would be better, because one would have to smoke less marijuana to get to the same desired level of "high", exposing one's lungs to less harmful agents like tar and other by-products of burning plant material.

^^ Holy shit that was a bigass sentence.

But of course, we're just stupid drug-fiend hippies. We can't even read, so it's not like this matters to them anyways.

The CIA reckons it is the second biggest cash crop,after wheat, in Australia.I might celebrate that fact with a pipe.

[Soul of Hope]

When are they going to stop this ignorant non-sense and admit they are wrong? Never, so we have to wait for these Conservative people of power to die off, and have the new generation bring about change.

...
because it's erroneously considered a light drug

[icebelowfreeze]
