The only problem I have with weed is that people I know who smoke a lot have serious motivational problems, saying that if I were to drink as many nights in the week that they smoke I would not be able to do anything else. So if it were to be legalised attitudes would have to change. If it were to be legalised I would imagine crime would greatly decrease.

i work, am in college, and smoke weed everyday.

I have some friends who go out drinking 4 nights a week, based upon their behaviour and inability to control themselves, i want alcohol made illegal.

doesnt work just because the people you know are idiots does it?

NACD is an anagram of DANC, which is very close to DANK.

Its disgusting, obscene, pure evil in fact how narrow minded authorities are to the benefits of cannabis/weed as a drug/medicinal cure for 5000 years, its far FAR less dangerous than alcohol, a drug which if it was discovered in the morning would be outlawed immediately

Look at theses videos of hemp oil, made from cannabis and weep how ignorant (maybe gladly) the medical establishment/government is to this plant

The truth is out there

its just the oil based thc being absorbed by the fat in butter, making it easier to cook with so people who need it medically, and who cant smoke (Cancer patients, Crohns patients) can get the relief without the smoking

The NACD is just a group of government Yes Men installed to give credence to government policy for people that don't know any better.

If they started publishing meaningful information then they wouldn't be in jobs for much longer à la Prof. Nutt in the UK a few years ago.

The study stated that the reason for higher potency was because of the way the plant was grown indoors, producing herbal cannabis such as ‘skunk’ ......cannabis cultivated in Ireland had very high THC levels and very low CBD levels compared to imported herb or resin, which is known as ‘hash’.

"weed"..."skunk"...."hash" :pac:

Lemsiper · 29-11-2011 04:00PM

I would have to say the last two strains I have bought in Ireland, some type of Kush and Green Poison, were up there with some those Dutch and Canadian varieties I've had in the past. The latter, hydroponically grown, definitely brought back memories of the 'dam.

But overall, I wouldn't agree with this article.

mikom · 29-11-2011 04:02PM

"Studys" and "media reports" can be scaremongering and full of shit, kids.
The report quoted at the top of this thread is one.
Here's another...........

Ah that evil skunk hash that's 1000% stronger than it is in Amsterdam. Makes people have psychotic episodes so it does. And that's your lot in Irish cannabis news for 1947 1985 2011.

ScumLord · 29-11-2011 04:07PM

It's embarrassing how little they know about cannabis, it makes the government look like complete dicks. That report reads like a 90 year old Mayo farmer trying to explain string theory after hearing about it at the pub.

Ghandee wrote: »

Seems our weed is far more potent, (and potentially makes us more prone to mental health issue) than weed grown, and sold in the Dam!

It's funny how the cannabis seeds magically get stronger after it's exported from the Netherlands to Ireland. :rolleyes:

It also expressed concern about the “surges” in cannabis cultivation in Ireland overall.

They'd rather the money left the country, at worst this is the best of a bad situation.

The study stated that the reason for higher potency was because of the way the plant was grown indoors, producing herbal cannabis such as ‘skunk’ or ‘weed’.

We should sell this new indoor growing techniques around the world. What if we started using it on other foods? World hunger = solved.

As an example cannabis which was seized in Limerick and suspected as having been imported contained a 5 per cent level of THC compared to cannabis seized in Bandon and suspected as having been cultivated here which had a THC level of 16 per cent.

In the US dispensaries all weed is labeled with the THC and CBD content and I know for a fact most are up around 10-20% THC content. This is just a complete fabrication.

Our government can't be trusted when it comes to drugs, they're clueless and are doing more harm than good.

Weed - User spends 20 minutes in complete confusion, looking for their pint, having left it down somewhere.

Alcohol - User spends 20 minutes, in a frenzied rage, kicking a man on the ground for looking at his bird.

Now, as Psychotic episodes go, which would you ban first ??

Kurtosis · 29-11-2011 04:13PM

Has anyone actually looked at the study itself? If you did, you'd see that some of the points made in the article do not appear in the study.

User in this case had drank some of that new "crazy diesel" alcohol which is a million percent more stronger than normal alcohol and makes people billingual. The National Quango for Drink Research reported it.

Another reason to leagalise it if you ask me. At least that way they can regulate it. It seems like the responsible thing to do to me..
But sure what do I know, I smoked the gange about 5 years ago so my head is obviously ****ed :P
Many fit and healthy people are pro cannabis users and are very successful. Joe Rogan being one.

Joe Rogan FFS why did you not use the very famous scientist Carl Sagan as an example.

Funny that. Most of the people I grew up with who smoked are still holding down professional jobs and are productive members of society.

Perhaps it's the people you hang around with rathter than the weed.

I'm talkin about people who smoke everyday consistently for 5-10 years and still continue to do so, I smoked a lot when I was younger too and it didnt affect me, I still smoke occasionally and its not a problem. You don't know me so why the dig at the people I hang around with.

People who smoke weed everyday are touchy aren't they, you are the perfect example of substance abuse and you are proud of it, why do you need to smoke everyday.

For the record I am not against weed, I just find the attitudes strange, I am all for legalizing it as it is probably better for society then alcohol.

You talk as if everyone who drinks alcohol is a raging lunatic, sensationalisation if I ever saw it.

every day was a bit of a strong statement but i am a frequent user of cannabis, either at night to help me relax after a hard day, or socially with friends.

if you think my cannabis consumption is on the level of abuse, perhaps you should consider what an addict is before considering me as one, id class an addict as anyone with a substance abuse problem that impacts negatively upon their daily life,

ie. a person addicted to alcohol, where they cant put food on the table cos they drink/cant pay bills cos they drank their money/ abuse mentally or physically there loved ones, and cause the family life to break down. you know a negative impact on themselves and others.

now my few joints doesnt impact me or anyone negatively, and my mental health is fine, am i still suffering substance abuse because you dont understand?

and again its shown that casual, frequent users of cannabis are less at risk because they can handle it and are used to it.

no need to say i have a substance abuse problem, when the only drug im addicted to is nicotine (way harder to quite then cannabis) but im trying.

Most if the weed grown here is from seeds gotten from the dam

This story is bollocks.

Yep - me too. Many of them still smoke. They still hold down a profession, pay their mortgage, never been in trouble with the guards. Some of them are even good parents.

If your mates had motivational issues it may not have been because of weed.

Weed grown in Ireland is more potent than weed in Amsterdam!
