When Tony Blair down graded cannabis to class C it encouraged me it was relatively safe. Now I wish he would reclassify skunk to class A as I feel it should be, cannabis is not what it used to be, skunk is at least ten times stronger, it is just too strong. I have learnt from experience the hard way and now my life is over, yet unfortunately I am still alive, I am only 26. I feel I have gone totally mad, my personality has been completely burnt away, I am like a vegetable with slurred speech, my brain is burnt out and totally damaged. I stopped a long time ago and have not recovered. Life used to be ok. Thanks to skunk it is now torture and I wish I was no more.

This is not political its just my experience, I don't know if it is due to my genetic make up, maybe some predisposition for this to happen which skunk has just triggered or what. If you don't believe me fine at least I have tried to warn others from what I have learnt the hard way. Read information from mental health charities on the subject which I have since and you will find some people skunk can cause them to lose their mind. I am not saying it will happen I am just saying you are rolling the dice like I did with your sanity, this shit is not 100% safe you could be the one in so many like me. Believe me madness is more frighting than you could ever imagine its like a bad trip all the time. I hope I get the balls to take my own life some time soon.
I understand it's not w/o risk, but I also know that you are likely an anomoly, if this is even remotely true. I know someone who has smoked pot for 35 years and they're fine lol.
