Reclassified? You gotta be kidding....

[jjbutler88]

Ok so I dont really keep a close watch on the news, but it seems a load of politicians are coming out about smoking weed 'once or twice' (yeah right) at uni, now the scottish drugs minister is calling for gordon brown and the ACMD (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs) to review the declassification on cannabis on the grounds that skunk is much stronger these days.

Id put up a poll, but I dont think there's a point, im sure everyone here agrees that skunk being class B will not stop people smoking or growing it. Everyone who I have talked to about this has come to the same conclusion, that legalising and regulating is the only way to 'win the war on drugs'. But politicians cant just legalise drugs, most people would be outraged, and whoever it was that did it would have their career ruined.

I was under the impression they would just lax up with the rules so that it became a little more like amsterdam, not neccesarily coffee shops but at least more tollerance. I would disagree with reclassification on the grounds that weed cant kill you, and to put it in the same class as anphetamines is a bit ridiculous.

Personally I cant see it happening unless its just a big plan to justify sending people to jail for possession.

Watch carefully, all this has done is reopen the debate. Time to get excited.

Il be excited if we ever get to legalising it, its ridiculous weekly we get stories in the UK of the police busting some guy in scotland growing this 'super skunk' in 1000 plant batches thats so strong you hit it once and go skitzo. I dont know if id rather it was kept on the d-low now, I have a feeling its all gonna be dug up. And all because the americans didnt want the mexicans having fun in their country....

stronger. that's funny. it's like whiskey being stronger than beer. doesn't make it that much different does it? only you drink less whiskey.

 

[skunkushybrid]

A lot of politicians are saying they smoked it, didn't enjoy it but went back to smoke it again and again.

The thing now is they're saying it causes mental illness. It does not, it merely reveals it to you. Alcohol acts in exactly the same way. Some people just cannot drink, it makes them aggressive or display mental illness.

This is bullshit, how can they TELL us that we cannot grow our own weed? Fuck them.

And just when I thought me and skunkushybrid couldnt agree on anything, that is word for word THE TRUTH. Who the fuck are they to tell us what weed is gonna do to us. Personally half a bottle of whiskey fucks me up wayyy more than half an ounce. Go figure politicians.
