CANNABIS DOWNGRADED TO CLASS B (maybe)

[xNoa]

indeed, i think its pretty safe to say that it will NOT be reclassified, since really they have no reason, and also the highest ranking policeman in britain thinks it should stay how it is.

the next reclassification of the drug will be legalisation, im sure of it.

Yay, you all gave me faith *mwah to everyone*

And yeah, i'll kill an iraqi for you, there are enough of those little fuckers at my old school, thinking they're all that, always fighting people, a group of 20 of the cunts jumped my mate 'cause he had longish hair, they deserve to die!

3 Sheets it is much worse than that.

They have that idiot who went mental and the only thing left in his brain is the ability to say "cannabis did this to me" afterwhich he collapses. Who knows what damage he did to himself when he was a child.

But, regardless, your (apologies but it is true) despotic rulers have decided to change the classifications from C to B. Now as fucked as that sounds, the fucking went even further, cause listen to this.

Last year you remember was all the hubub about it being brought from a B to a C. Well, if you did not pay attention, the Police demanded that the penalites of the B were applied to the class C before they allowed the cannabis to be downgraded. So there it sat as a class C with the same arrest ability as it had in B. Yes, contrary to what you think, it is an arestable offence as it has the old class B penalties. Get it, call it C, and bring the penalties along?

Now, they made B worse. So, joke of all jokes, now they will bring a lot of easy to make propaganda how mental some Johnny down the street got, and viola! It is upped back to B. BUT B is now much worse than it ever was. You see it is easy when you use a statement as "may cause madness in all users" because it is impossible to say it might not, specially when they can pay some guy to get up and agree. The word "may" means no one has to produce documentary evidence, only circumstancial. Johnny may smoke pot if he sees you do it, so it is illegal. We dont want Johnny smoking pot cause he will go insane and become a jazz musican.


Don't you get that warm feeling for the powers?

MENTAL PROBLEMS SOAR AMONG CHILDREN USING CANNABIS

The number of children treated for mental disorders caused by smoking
cannabis has quadrupled since the government downgraded the legal
status of the drug, according to a leading drug charity.

Since April last year, three months after police stopped arresting
anyone found in possession of small amounts of the drug, the overall
number of users treated for such conditions rose 42%, according to
data from Addaction.

But it is the figure for children that will cause the greatest alarm.
Addaction treated 1,575 cannabis users for psychotic problems between
April 2004 and April 2005, of whom 181 were aged 15 or below -- a rise
of 136 on the previous year.

Many experts blame the relaxation of the law and the wider use of
skunk, a high-strength variant of cannabis.

"A minority of people who take it repeatedly and over a long period,
particularly people who take it as adolescents, will suffer psychotic
episodes. They may ultimately suffer schizophrenia," said Robin
Murray, professor of psychiatry at King's College London.

Addaction's findings are backed up by recent government figures that
reveal a 22% leap in hospital admissions attributed directly to
cannabis. They show that 710 people were sent to hospital with mental
illness caused by cannabis in the 12 months to April 2004, up from 580
in the two previous years.

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs is meeting next weekend to
decide whether there should be a full review of the working of the
cannabis law. It was set up by Charles Clarke, the home secretary,
after research released earlier this year suggested cannabis may cause
mental illness.

A New Zealand research project involving 1,000 people born in 1977
found that cannabis could double the risk of mental illnesses such as
schizophrenia. A Dutch study by Professor Jim van Os also discovered
that frequent cannabis use during adolescence increased the risk of
psychotic symptoms later in life, especially among those genetically
vulnerable to mental illness.

A member of the committee said this weekend, however, that the panel
was unlikely to recommend any revision of the law because there was
still insufficient evidence to show any increased risk. One option it
is considering is upgrading skunk but leaving "ordinary" cannabis as a
class C drug.

Jonathan McDonnell, project manager for the Buckinghamshire branch of
Young Addaction, said that last year 250 cannabis users under 19 were
referred to his unit for treatment; 85% of those were skunk users.

He said that the higher street price of skunk -- UKP 20 for an eighth
of an ounce rather than UKP 12 for normal cannabis -- meant that many
users were now involved in "junkie crimes" such as burglary and
robbery, traditionally the preserve of hard-drug users.

I'm more worried about your repetitive posting and how fucking silly it is, more than the news you supplied in the first place.

[ArtRollins]

You are also right about the police are not happy abou the ridiculous plans to make more free labor out of crime.

I doubt it's gonna happen.

[daZenfmeister]

Okay gotta get this off my chest: There is no such thing as an accurate clinical study of cannabis!!! Think about it, you tell people you'll give them $1000 each if they let you administer a drug to them and then monitor the effects. Then they give them the drug THC (I very much doubt they'd just let them smoke a j) probably marinol. Then they monitor the effects. So think about how the people being tested are, they have no idea whats gonna happen and all of a sudden they're high. They get paranoid and freak out: Thus schitzophrenia. Stupid ass government, do you really think that people like you and me are going to take a drug not knowing that it will make you feel differently. When I first got high I went from 0 to 50 like that, first time i smoked a bowl and didnt really get that high then the next time i hotboxed my friends explorer. Yeah I freaked out that first time but I knew that it was going to make me feel differently (you should've seen the panic attack that I had when we hotboxed) but now look at me I'm successful, and a pothead. No crazy's here..............

Didn't think any "children" got mental disorders grom ganja in the first place
Also the studies showed that the mental disorders came later in life... they contradict themselves beyond belief!

Get ready all you pot heads, when you're older you're going to be crazy and schizophrenic, so you better stop smokin' like the nice government people want you to

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

"Most people do not smoke cannabis to get so stoned
that they do not know what day of the week it is. We should legislate
for the typical cannabis user."

Like dude, i like to get so fucked, i can't like tell like what fuckin' year it is, man!
