It would be quite wrong to assume that because 'professionals' use drugs that makes it OK and/or said professionals are immune from developing problems from such drug use.However from what i heard down the pub once was that dope smoking is not confined to the no-hopers and lazy ... quite a few "profesionals" and other higher career types have been known to partake in the odd toke from time to time.
Nun, you can write excellent English with perfect punctuation and grammar when you feel like it. viz your recent posts describing your taxi experiences.Punctuation and capital letter use maybe a natural thing for you , but for me it is not . I have to work at it.
My spelling and english use in the written context has improved 10 fold since first appearing here at ASF.
I am trying.
Out of curiosity, Wysiwyg, moXJO, Tink and Happy. Have you ever smoked dope or spent any time within the drug culture?
I believe the psychiatric ward at Maroondah Hospital in Ringwood was created to cope with the rise in drug induced psychosis out where I grew up. This was mostly due to speed and weed. I know too many people who went there.
The one thing that concerns me about weed though, is its not possibly to regulate the amount of THC that a user gets, from each 'dose'. That is to say, some plants will be higher (or lower) ever parts of plants will be different. Unlike a pill where you can Xmg of active substance, that is near impossible to measure when it comes to weed.
I`m with Tink. Seen sporting potential, education aspirations and careers destroyed by the toxic weed.
There is no scientific reason to keep it illegal when compared to alcohol.
Hope you don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.I still want to see it legalised

It would be political suicide.
Julia, if a human being has the birth right to do whatever they wish to themselves then why can`t they take dope? There must be a reason why society has agreed that this particular plant must not be taken freely by whoever wishes so. We have touched on the side effects such as psychological damage and lung disease but what is the one real reason? I can`t think of one apart from the harm it would cause youths trying and habituating. Socially disruptive maybe.Hope you don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.

Any mods to help.
"Should marijuana be legalised?"
Yes
No
gg
Once a person reaches the age consent, and as long as the action in no way harms others, they ought to be able to do what they want, in toto.
I agree with explod.
Cut some slack to the poor pot smokers and legalise the stuff.
