The BIG medicinal cannabis discussion

Yes, I'm off on a tangent again but feel it necessary to re emphasize the reality of the unregulated cannabis trade, Medical users need take special care and all users should be fully aware of potential hazards especially those which could lead to addiction and withdrawal through the use of cannabis...

Both police and a leading psychiatrist said yesterday they are beginning to see evidence of marijuana laced with highly addictive crystal meth.
Dr. Bill MacEwan's advice? "Know your supplier. Know where the pot is coming from."
MacEwan, a psychiatrist at St. Paul's Hospital who also heads the schizophrenia program in the psychiatry department at the University of B.C., says he's seeing patients who claim they only smoke marijuana but in whose systems crystal meth is found.

Smoking marijuana laced with methaqualone has become a major problem in South Africa, rivalling crack cocaine as the most abused hard drug. Its low price (R30.00 average against R150.00 for crack) means it is the preferred hard drug of the large low-income section of society. When smoked, usually mixed with marijuana, it causes an intensely euphoric rush.

We know that cannabis is being laced with some of the most addictive hard drugs, in effect it means that users can become addicted to the adulterants and may develop a need for those drugs, It may lead to a perceived addiction to cannabis whereby the user feels s/he must have it, the necessity to have a "stoned effect" becomes overpowering and dealers get to collect extra revenue plus some new faces to try their other wares.

The illegal manipulation of cannabis can lead to new addictions.
