Hey everyone, another thread from me, I bet you are all getting bored of
these threads, anyway I would really like your opinion on growing
cannabis and using cannabis. Thank you for reading my boring threads


Growing it is illegal, growing it is not difficult indeed I've seen it
grow
to a decent height from bird seed out on our old allotment site.
I've read that it is believed to be a causal agent in some schizophrenia
cases especially when used from a young age.

Only when used in very large quantities.

Whilst I can understand it
being used by some seriously ill people, and those abroad in extreme
poverty
with a dreadful life, why anyone in this country who is well would want to
cloud their brain defeats me. Life itself is too powerful a drug.

Better start by trying to understand why people drink large quantities
of alcohol, which has far more harmful effects than cannabis.


I don't understand that either. I got drunk once when young and stupid and
not remembering how I got home was such a shock I have never done it again.
If I had been accused of murder or whatever I could not have denied it,
horrid thought. Drinking too much also mucks up your weekend which I always
found precious when at work.

The modern wish to get "stoned" is a social problem that needs sorting, in
my young days if someone acted drunk they were considered not manly because
they couldn't take their booze, it was socially unacceptable and you could
quickly loose all your old friends that way. Why anyone would want to take
drugs or alcohol to fog their brain and look stupid, as they always do, I
cannot imagine.

Jamie, I tell it as it is and if that offends your young sensibilities don't
ask the question.
