why the hell would you want to make it easier for people to get there hands on drugs? makes no sense to me at all, drugs should stay illegal-end of and anybody that needs them to get through life (apart from a medicinal purpose) do us a favor and end your ****ing misery.

plus weed stinks,i mean it really ****ing stinks-why for the love of god would you wanna walk around smelling like that..............

That’s not true, there’s no effect unless you cook it. Look up decarboxylation.

Love the smell of weed.

Love being stoned.

You sound like you have never actually been on an estate tbh

I choose to smoke it because i can.

If it were legal & i grew my own & smoked my own in my own home what harm is there in this ?

who are you to decide what anyone else does with their own body.

punish those unable to moderate.

same way we do with the alchohol zombies.

Cant have booze legal and weed not because i dont drink 😁

For me it was a social thing with mates started at college and was preferable to going to the pub and getting in a load of attitude. Could have a better laugh round one of the groups place chatting/watching films and a smoke than putting up with aggro in the pubs. And for whatever reason or how sad it sounds now there was something very relaxing and addictive to rolling up a big spliff to pass round.

My eldest is at Uni now and it's rife plus all his house mates do it and I can't tell him not to do it but i've made it clear having it at a party is one thing but if he does it daily and becomes a habitual user of it he will **** up his degree. He wants and is on course for a 1st but he won't achieve that if he starts getting off his face every day.

Now I pass if offered it and have no interest in repeating what I did in my 20s as it just doesn't appeal now.

There is some truth tho in what mince ur talking.

i does needs to be in fat or butter

u could add to a yoghurt or butter two biscuits

but if hardcore like myself back in the 5 quid henry days was the best pre flight entertainment before a holiday.

make proper hash using an ice machine and a whole lot of weed. Then u know its decent.

check out ice-o-lator hash. Bubble has u may have heard

as far as decarbing before making edibles it helps to get the most out of it but i know from experiance that it is not 100% necessary.

tastes rotten if u dont tho but hey its not about the flavour.

We were never into making it only ever bought it and that stuff is made with all sorts of **** so when we had access to a readily available supply of bud and super skunk there was no need for hash ever again. No idea what's out there now I haven't touched it since 2003.

Also unless folk are still making and selling moonshine.

then i dont believe u would still have folk dealing if leagalised.

the stuff you can get branded in Cali blows anythimg homegrown away.

Infact tubs that cost 20 bux in the states are sold for over 120 pounds on our streets.

who makes that money ?

and would they still make that cash when its sold down the high street.

Don't forget it would be HMRC chasing them down for tax/VAT - of all the government agencies not to meddle with, that's the top dog

I had the odd spliff back in the day in my 20's - I had spliff once then drove my car to go pick up my girlfriend - I absolutely **** myself, the worse thing I ever did and I never did it again... I went back home slowly! I was 100% not safe behind the wheel.

I often think about that day - This alone for me makes it a no no.

However the s3x on it was great ;o)

Related; the mother in law has MS and I've offered to get her some to try, but she refuses out blank because it's illegal. I think that's a shame. Me and the Mrs have considered getting some anyway and slipping it in something but we are not sure if you have to smoke it to get the benefits.

Apparently the UK is one of the biggest producers/exporters of the above. I think it should be more widely prescribed for other things, not just MS. As regard legalisation for recreational use thats a different conversation.

What we export is nothing in comparison to what is consumed in any country where it is legal,

They just don't import it,

Quite simple chemistry tbh,

If you care enough to comment then care enough to understand what you speak of.

Best understand what your talking about before commenting,

This isn't Mexican finger hash buddy,

"If" i extract my own i would know where it came from, from seed to how it got there and what processes it has gone through to end up on the tip of my dab stick

"Most groups agree that any intentional use is likely to mean that a person is over the limit for at least a period of 10 hours, in the case of saliva roadside testing"

As long as i can bake myself to sleep early enough to be safe in the morning

As with Alcohol it metabolises differently so could be longer or shorter,

The problem is that you can buy off the shelf kits to check your safe to drive after drink.

AFAIK there is no such product for Cannabis users. (If so please link)

Think of a world without the folk who smoked weed in it,

From some of the great musicians, actors even scientific minds,

I reckon there are plenty of stoners out there who will and have achieved far more than you or i ever could.
