Although in the same breath there are a few names on that list i would happily lace their joint with Arsenic.

So perhaps no the best example to show but all i could find on such short notice

Not in the slightest,

Again more assumptions based on nothing but your own ignorance

I hope you do not drink if that is your attitude because it would make you a hypocrite of the highest order.

Not even so much as a little extra at the gym,

Got to be plenty of big burly slap heads injecting themselves with stuff to grow solid man breasts at the Gym ?

You know the type, one more head knock away from a face tatt,

I guess I and millions of others just don't share the same view as u over alertness & control,

I am of the belief that if it doesn't hurt or affect anyone else then nobody should have the right to control what somebody else does,

The biggest problem with cannabis is that it funds far worse things due to where the money ends up,

Steroids lol no chance. Plenty of calories and protein is all that's needed really. It depends on what you want the end result to be. It's one of the reasons I train alone at home as I got fed up with all the bull-**** at the gym.

Because like I said in previous posts it was a social thing started at college with mates where it was more enjoyable to sit round a mates house with a film on or just chatting and having a smoke than going down the pub and face a load of aggro from p!ssed up idiots. It was for relaxing/chilling out not to get 'off your face'.

I don't condone it now as with age you change your thoughts on stuff. Plus I wouldn't want the restrictions of not being able to drive for fear of being in your system or work finding out and losing your job. It's very different now to 20+ years ago

some people smoke to relax or deal with daily stress rather than to get off there face ,, if there is such a thing with weed lol , saying everyone that smokes gets out of there face is like saying everyone that drinks a glass of wine on a evening is a alcoholic ,or everyone that goes to the gym wants to be a body builder ,,, some people like it some people don't but either way there is clear proven medical uses for it so why not let the people who want to use it do it in there own homes ?

I guess you have no clue what your talking about eh ?

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
You seriously need to start speaking english.

Medical cannabis as less impurities. Back yard **** does not.
It makes me laugh how you admit to smoking cannabis daily, which means you drive illegally and announce it all on an open forum.

If your life is that bereft of happiness and you seek it from drugs then you are one very sad individual. Very sad.

Nobody who smokes weed wants crap weed.

its a plant.

How can there be any impurities unless added by the grower ?

if you know your source and how its made you can buy with confidence.

also as quite the connisuer id like to think i could spot some sprayed budd, usually by the hard black ash left behind.

the concentrates which i mentioned are the highest and purest grade/type of "cannabis" you can make.

So u grow a plant from seed with water

and make hash with ice at the end.

where do the impurities come from ?

this isnt cocaine or heroine which are cut with terrible things

smoking daily does not mean driving illegal again you are just showing your ignorance.

that would be silly like i says.

Your lack of knowledge on the subject is clear.

If my spelling grammer or punctuation is not up to standard forgive me it must be the weed affecting my mind.

again i hope you do not drink either or that would be massively hypocritical.

When i was getting chemotherapy at 18 i would be in hospital for 7 days straight and not eat.

No appetite at all

Nausea you couldn't imagine.

It got to the point they concidered feeding me with a tube just to get some weight on me.

1 week in.

2 weeks out.

As soon as i got home i would have a massive bong rip.

30 mins later i would literally eat until i threw up.

then eat some more or make something else.

in the 2 weeks i was out i would gain back as much as 10kg.

Currently i weigh about 60kg wet so every pound is vital in those circumstances

The worst year of my life could have been made a hell of a lot worse had it not been for cannabis

my oncologist knew this and could only reccomend i do not smoke tobacco if i must smoke at all.



im now 28 and all is well still a featherweight

Forgive me for having such strong views around this.

No it was the point that i was only sick when in the hospital.

i smoked it before and after.

it helped as far as appetite went.

not so much gain weight, more motivate me to eat and not keep losing weight at worrying rates.

as far as anti sickness goes there was nothing like it for me Im not alone there.

Of course too much for beginners recreationally can be very sickening which folk confuse.

Also depending where i go on holiday each year can stop for as long as a month and only start again through choice so not an actual physical addiction this has been proven.

Still smoking anything may sort your head out ,for a bit , but its not going to get your body stronger / heavier

leaving aside other ailments for a minute

Nobody is smoking it for a strong body i think theres alot more to Usain Bolt or Micheal Phelps routines than a quick puff.

I am saying i was not eating

Had nausea u cannot imagine every week i was in hospital.

Didnt eat either until i would smoke and get "the munchies"

For most this nausea continues outside the hospital for me it didnt due to being able to smoke it.

Yes...

I don't think it would result in a massive increase in stoners, possibly a change in the dynamic - a shift away from younger folk. If it was licenced and regulated (like alcohol) there would be less of the super strong strains available now. If alcohol was illegal it sure as hell wouldn't be 43% you'd be buying from your local dealer. Legalising would allow control both in quality and strength. For some (not all) cannabis smokers, this is the only law they break.

It would need a period of time to find a balance after the initial novelty wore off, and regulations would need to be tweaked as society adjusted. The current approach is out dated and is not working.

Totally, Smurfboy don`t lower yourself to those uneducated,

I remember the headlines about how we would all go mental when 24 hour drinking laws came in,
That didn’t happen either did it?

Caffeine is more addictive than cannabis, but hey,

People drink and then drive the next morning, just because you are not over the legal limit, doesn’t mean it isn’t still in your system still, just think how you feel hungover after a night out, you may not have driven to work drunk, but you are still feeling it because it isn’t out of your system completely,
So to say that a cannabis user is still dangerous the next day is utter tosh,
And just stinks of trying to wind someone up.

Yeah. Every time I go to California I'm not seeing this apocalyptic change in society that people seem to think would result from legalization of weed.

The impact upon every economy that legalization has been implemented within has been extremely positive.

It's absolute trash to compare smoking of cigarettes and the effect upon the NHS from smokers to that of those who would wish to smoke weed and their impact upon services.

The worlds biggest weed farm is in the UK, I believe, but it's still illegal there. So weird.

It's not for me. I don't need or want to smoke it but for many it seems like it's a much better option for them than alcohol.

It's amazing how often you hear people saying that they don't understand a drug takers mentality, when they themselves like to go for a pint on a Friday night - it's literally the same thing!

Legalizing in UK might help undo some of the financial woes you lot are in due to Brexit!
