    Wait a minute. This kid was headboy at his school and a Lacrosse international. Sounds like he was doing pretty well in life despite (according to you) having serious mental health problems.

    Appearances can be deceiving.

    Truth be told....... The most dangerous thing about cannabis is being caught in possession.

    So you know more that the medical profession about the effects of cannabis ?

    This the common cant of both elected and unelected hopheads and stoners.

    The use of cannabis in an uncontrolled environment by immature teens is especially dangerous...both to themselves and to others and leads to experimentation with hard narcotics.

    Peddle your bulldust in some other forum pal....it won't wash with the posters here ...

    It washes with me and the guy is right.You on the otherhand are talking nonsense. I've been smoking cannabis for twenty years on and off and I have never taken anything stronger although I have been offered (except alcohol but hey that's legal so it must be ok). As for the gateway theory that has been thoroughly discredited. I suggest you look at the results of decriminalisation of cannabis in Spain and Portugal. It didn't turn out to be the doomsday scenario everybody predicted.

    Less of the personals compadre...I am entitled to put forward an opinion...or would you prefer to block all opposing views.

    I am very familiar with the Spanish situation and I suggest you research the recent studies of Drug use in the Barcelona area....an explosion in the use of dangerous narcotics.

    I have no time for these "happy heads" and so called "alternatives" who are in the main mainly spongers from the social welfare system...funded by the hard pressed taxpayer.

    Time these tupes were called out.........

    Thankfully I am in good employment pal and contributing to the State via almost punitive taxes.

    Boils my piss a bit when I see the hordes of hard faced skangers congregating in the centre of our capital city and think of the cost to the state of funding their habits.

    Then listening to the bulldust been peddled in this forum from people who should know better and who think they are cool because "they smoke a bit of pot man ".

    So sorry buddy if I don't put on the kaftan and the reggae musak and join the resident tokers in a spot of herb....

    Too busy buddy.....earning a living !

    Just my €0.02, but people who throw around words like "buddy" and "pal" and "my friend" are often arseholes.

    I'm not suggesting that you are. Oh no.

    what utter, uneducated and narrow minded bulls'hit.

    the 'gateway' theory has been rubbished by any independent study. where do you start anyway? is alcohol the real 'gateway', or sugar, or caffeine? jesus i thought people were more intelligent these days.

    use of a shagging lawnmower by immature teens is dangerous 'in an uncontrolled environment'. illegality ensures that there can never be controls put in place on this drug, so what is a controlled environment?

    you're a troll. i've seen your crap before. you've nothing useful to say.

    leave this discussion to people who have a clue what they're talking about. we don't need your outdated rhetoric.

    Thanks for sharing that pilgrim....you feel better now ?

    Nice user name by the way..."Hoop" very appropriate.....:D

    i dont understand why we dont have europe-wide laws for soft drugs the way holland does. it causes more harm than it does good in situations like this.

    sad for his family. dead for nothing.:mad:

    Ah you're one of these types that lumps all drugs together and yes I am familiar with the Spanish situation. There has always been a problem with hard drugs in Barcelona. There was years before small amounts of cannabis was decriminalised. There would still be if cannabis disappeared altogether.

    As for social welfare spongers a lot of people on boards smoke weed and hold down jobs and have normal lives. Your stereotyping is pathetic.

    Very sad story.

    no it DOES NOT.
    it highlights how out-dated and pointless our laws are in relation to cannabis possession

    And another thing, I hear an awful lot of nonsense about weed or hash not leading to violent behaviour. Try telling that to the families who have to deal with the mood swings of a regular smoker who has decided they're off it for the week.

    well if it was legal and readily available then that would not have happened.

    alcohol has been scientifically proven to be more dangerous than ecstacy AND heroin. cannabis is somewhere down the bottom of the list beside coffee and tea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 404 ✭✭frank reynolds


    here is just ONE of MANY MANY lists that show that weed is LESS dangerous than alcohol (by a mile) and even less dangerous than tobacco!!!

    so shove THAT in your pipes and smoke it. literally.

    Yes, because the papers are full of stories like that...

    Have you really seen/heard stories like this, or does it suit your point of view on the issue to suggest that you have?

    I would suggest that the vast majority of stories about the suffering of an "addict"'s family are to do with alcohol.

    The states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington currently legalize Cannabis use for varying reasons. Washington and Colorado approved recreational Cannabis use by adults, with regulations to monitor its possession, use and sale.

    Expect more smoke In 2013.
    Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia introduced bills to make Cannabis use lawful. On February 21 2013, for instance, Maryland Democratic Delegate Curt Anderson introduced a bill to legalize and tax Cannabis use by “over 21” adults.

    Change is coming.
    America sneezes........... will we catch a cold?
