Dobbed in weed-growing parents

Perhaps the best idea is for those charged with making the laws and those pro the freedom to have free access to the drugs to accompany those on the front line for a week or two.

Or the powers that be could just come to their senses and decriminalise Cannabis.

These party pill/legal high products would be gone in no time.

Then there might be a better understanding of the reality and less angst and argument.

Why would that help? People have the perfect understanding of their reality... tis everyone else sticking their noses in that blurs the edges.

Personally I'm not a big fan of tramadol. It feels reasonably good, but just doesn't have the wonderful opioid high that codeine has. Apparently the seizure threshold is quite low too, so I don't take more than 200mg at once.

mainline heroin you pussy.
70% heroin, 30% cocaine.
Fuken ride of your life.

[Madness]

That's the reality.

It might be a reality but it sure as fuck aint the only reality. Besides, I'm happy to wager that the "front line" would be dealing with waaay more alcohol-fuelled issues than those attributed to all illicit drugs combined. You carry on though, Ed as you've undoubtedly been researching on this subject and we all know that makes you an expert.

What makes you think I approve of alcohol fuelled stupidity either? Here's a challenge for you. Go and spend a Friday or Saturday night with the police on duty. Then comment.

Where did he say he thinks you approve?

So do you think alcohol should be re-classified as an illegal drug then?

Sorry to burst your little fantasy bubble Ed but what the popo get up to on a Friday or Saturday night has sweet fuck all to do with the impact of Cannabis on crime rates or civil unrest in this country. The only issue with Cannabis use in respect to the vast majority of its users in this country is its legal status. To believe otherwise is simply the result of the delusional lies that sheep such as yourself have been gobbling up from governments your entire lives.

If you're all about challenges today Ed, I challenge you to hang out with someone who chooses to enjoy Cannabis in the privacy of their own home after a hard days work. Witness the complete absence of any violence, destruction and moral disintegration that ensues. I'd invite you around here one night but to be honest, I have this thing about letting junkies in the house.

My brother does that regularly in his professional capacity. He tells me the "legal" highs are worse than anything except alcohol.

Ummm. You're talking to someone born in the late '50's. ... Lol! What do you think the '60's and '70's were like?

Are you referring to the number of incidents being attended or the amount of actual harm being observed?

For you? Pretty fucking boring I'd imagine. Are you going to tell us stories about your own prolific Cannabis use during the 60's & 70's now Ed?

Mostly the aggro displayed by the users I think he meant.

Alcohol remains the top issue due to the sheer volume of it and the more widespread usage. The so called legal highs were a stupid idea in the first place, like lowering the age limit for alcohol. Now the poor sods on the front line have an even bigger mess up to deal with.

It's been a general trend since the 1960's, the downhill slide of standards and the increase in the bad consequences. I guess only those of us who were there at the time and have observed down through the years can grasp the reality of it. For the young ones it's normal life.

So life in the early 60's was idyllic huh? Would I be right to assume that Cannabis (and possibly LSD) was the only illegal drug readily available in the 60's?

It's a pity isn't it Ed. The sad thing for me is that if Cannabis hadn't been illegal all these years the consumption of harmful drugs such as synthetics and methamphetamines and the prolific abuse of alcohol in our society would have been much, much less.

So you are saying that cannabis has no harmful effects?
