Haha did you read the very end of that article?

"The majority of people may have little or no reaction, even to stronger forms of the drug. But for the 10-20 per cent of those who are considered to be vulnerable, taking it could lead to psychotic illness."

Reefer Madness!

Yeah but thats just some health official that works for the government.
10% of the worlds population will die if they take aspirin but they don't ban that do they.
If you take any substance including marijuana and it makes you feel bad simply don't ever take it again.
We have to stop them from treating us like stupid children:blsmoke:

Not in this case, she runs a Charity Mental Health Organization. How that qualifies her to make these generalizations I don't know. Her statement that the vast majority.etc. May just bury her bullshit. VV

These people need to let it go already. Theyve been tolerating the negative "effects" of legalized alcohol and tobacco for hundreds of years now. Get over it and get a life

Heard about this on the radio a while ago, it's the same women who did a doc about not cleaning for a month, and binge drinking for a month. I think it will be something along the same lines: smoking herb for a month to see what the effects will be. The BBC are usually anti cannabis in their news reports, so this will be interesting. I'm really surprised the BBC let her do this, but maybe it's a sign of the times.

Hey guys i watched the video the other night and to be honest the women that took the pot was a total lightweight who freaked out after a few tokes of a spliff with only 1 tenth of a gram in it,so it was basically,imo,a BBC,probably politically motivated,veiled attempt at demonizing cannabis for the most part and trying to scare the uninitiated out of ever trying it in the first place.

I downloaded the program but it is protected by DRM and i cannot convert it into a playable mode as i cannot export/import it into any movie converters that i currently have.
As far as i know the bbc iplayer only works for British ips but here is a link to it anyway.

If i can find a way to break the DRM on the program i will copy it and upload it to youtube

IMO basically a veiled attempt at making pot look like it will drive you insane by using a middle class woman who was a total newb:cry:
