Panorama

[Kid Dynamite]

I am coming 24 and have been smoking around 4 years,

I am in the clear,

it is all you sixteen year olds who smoke the fuck out of the bongs that will be the next generation 'nutters', know matter how much you deny it, it will happen and you will be carted off to get your weekly dose of 'electric shock' treatment.

Boy I'm glad I wasn't a waster at age sixteen.

suck my dick.

Kid Dynamite Reviewed by Kid Dynamite on 06-20-2005. Panorama There's a TV show in the UK called Panorama that shows documentaries about all sorts of subjects and claims to be investigating the subject in an unbiased way, but tonight at 10 Panorama 'investigates' Cannabis and it's effects on teenagers. Cool, you might think, it's gonna say something good for a change, but think again. Considering the show is supposed to be unbiased the commercial for it is calling it "Panorama: What kids need to know" and goes on for a couple of minutes saying how it Rating: 5

I seen that program and what a pile of shit it was. They were saying how much stronger weed is these days than it was in the 60's - 70's, bollocks. Stronger strains are more available these days but there was still super strong weed years ago. It's like saying bananas weren't yellow in the 60's or something. If it did cause phsycotic illnesses then there would be an epidemic, how many people smoked weed in the 60's and 70's? There would be millions of schizophrenics or whatever running round the streets.

Did somebody say that one addiction can't cure another? Ever hear of methadone?

Take a look at what I wrote. Quote "Alcoholics are addicted to alcohol for numerous reasons, but they won't just magically switch to another drug that doesn't have the same effect."

Methadone is an opiate, just like heroin. The effects are similar if not almost exactly the same. Replacing heroin with methadone is like stopping a baby from drinking antifreeze by replacing it with drain cleaner.

I'm assuming you've been drunk as well as stoned. Its pretty obvious that weed and alcohol have very different effects (both long term and short). An addict is someone looking for a means to an end. They are addicted to the state of mind, not the drug itself (although the end result is the same). You can switch from heroin to methadone because they have similar effects, but you can't play paint by narcotics.
