    I abstained myself, but the number of people using it who I worked with was enough to make it obvious that it was a dumb thing to do. I was able to observe first hand its effects on a large number of people. Few were ever violent on it but all of them seemed to lose their common sense and intelligence after a while. Being a passenger in their vehicle wasn't my idea of fun either.

    They would lose their work ethic, too, and were pretty casual about honesty. When combined with alcohol it was time for sensible people to leave. Black eyes and bruising was expected at work the next day.

    It's certainly never done me any harm. And before you start opening that huge gob of yours, you're a much bigger wanker than I'll ever be & I'm picking you don't use it at all.

    So you're posting from a position of relative ignorance on the subject then. Thanks, I'm glad we cleared that up.

Being a passenger in their vehicle wasn't my idea of fun either, probably because I'm such a tightly-wound little princess.

    They would lose their work ethic, too, and were pretty casual about honesty, but they were predominantly black and what else would you expect?. Whenever alcohol was consumed it was time for sensible people to leave. Black eyes and bruising was expected at work the next day.

    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.
    I doubt it. People are stupid and those using drugs in order to get high won't generally admit that there is anything wrong with them. ..

    Only when something really serious hits them square might they start to think about it.

    Bollox, if you had to personally experience everything to know anything about it you'd die very young. Those who cannot learn by observation are seriously compromised.

    So my opinion of Tramadol addicts is still valid then. Cool, thanks for that.

    Yes. There was a quote around here somewhere that mentioned the harmful effects of Tramadol use and the dangers this can present, particularly when the user (or addict) is driving. Scary shit!

    Wow, so from what I've learned by observation, it would seem driving stoned and driving trammy'd up are much of a muchness. I'd personally never ever do either, as I value not just my own life, but the lives of those I share the road with.

    I believe the major difference is that the Tramadol user (or addict) is able to decide for themselves (irrespective of qualifications) if their drug-induced state is likely to cause harm whilst on the other hand, the state has made the decision that all Cannabis use is potentially harmful and thus, the Cannabis user is unable to use Cannabis lawfully under any circumstances, irrespective of their willingness to accept full personal responsibility and having the personal maturity to be able to use Cannabis in a safe manner.

    It wasn't the question I asked.

    Do you think that smoking cannabis has no harmful effects?

    Certainly no more harmful effect than smoking cigarettes.

    And in fact, without all the chemicals of tailor mades, smoking Cannabis would have far less harmful effect than smoking cigarettes.

    So you're not above committing libel either. And of course you know me personally and have spent time in my company to observe first hand the effects of my meds on myself. You have also been with me when I was consulting with my Dr. on the best drugs to use and their possible effects.

    You're a fraud with as much credibility as Bogan, which is of course, none whatsoever.

    Do you have to make every thread about yourself? Take a load off man, snort a cone or whatever it is the kids call it these days and become one with universe, check your ego at the door and get some perspective. Legalizing weed is coming, deal with it.
