Meh, even if it's true - they would just call you paranoid

After all these years, with prohibition making big bank (prisons, police etc) and the government telling you it was 'evil on a stick' - they can't back-track now.

It's getting silly though in the UK with the press - it's almost as if they downed it to class "C" just so they could fucking demonize it some more.

@Birdgirl ~ I think you are totally right - we are more bitching about the press in the UK and the way these stories are handled, it's almost bizarre how one day - "Weed safer than alcohol - 120 year old Indian blunt smoker is proof" turns right into "Weed is 30x stronger than 1970's - 1 puff and you have Parkinsons"

I jest (somewhat) but we really do have headlines just like those

These idiots are giving mixed messages to impressionable people (no offence kids but - that's you) who will pretty much just stop beleiving the drivel their "media" feeds them as "news". With all this information / disinformation / opinion / lies - who knows what to beleive?

The end result
- the british smoker rolls another soap-bar joint and smokes away ignorant of the whole shambling bloody wreck.

Prohibition sucks - but the media blows.
