" which could explain a growing number of medical emergencies that involve the drug, government drug experts on Wednesday."

Yet they give no examples of these supposed "medical emergencies". I fuckin hate how the government can only come up with the "... well.... just because." answers.

Other than that, it sounds like good news to me. :thumbsup:

Maybe someone went to the hospital stoned as hell and made the staff think they had an eye infection...

Haha medical emergencies? our government is so retarded, in my opinion there isnt any reason mj shouldnt be legal.

its not funny how they keep saying that its getting stronger, its actually a very serious matter, not because its true, but because in uk every paper in the last month or so has managed to mention how even stronger cannabis (than in the 60s) is on the streets today (they call it skunk) which is making us all crazy and is as dangerous as coke and meth.

seriously it has gotten to the point where one asshole wrote a newspaper article saying

"cannabis so potent that just one puff can cause schizophrenia is being grown in Merseyside" -Ben Rossington, Liverpool Echo

i mean to us its pure bullshit and you know just not logical sounding, but to those poeple that think weed is the devil, its even more reason to think so, and we need them to stop thinking so and then maybe some day when that fuckin happens we will be able to smoke in peace...

Medical emergencies does happen but they never say for what. I can take a guess and I bet it's correct. Just newbs smokin on marijuana that is even stronger than before and they told their parents or told some one and panicking and on top of that completely stoned out of their minds. It won't seem like non-serious(lol) situation until they get checked out when they get to the hospital and only tested positive for THC. I said that because I have actually heard of people that got too high and overreacted and called 9-11 or had people around them concerned and got rushed to the hospital. There was even a thread on here a few months ago talking about some cops that ate burger king laced with weed and got rushed to the hospital because they didn't know what was going on lol!

They just want to make weed seem just as dangerous as a cocaine overdose or something, they aren't fooling anyone. It's suppose to be more potent .

I don't get how people are using this as an anti-marijuana argument.

More THC means you don't need to smoke as much, which potentially lessens the dangers of smoking... I would think.

just wait till that whole generation of weed haters passes away, there will be a weed revolution
