Gorden Brown is making it so easy for me

[Wossi]

A few years back I used to go round a mates house and get stoned every night. The worst thing we ever did was eat re-heated McDonalds. While drunk we did try to steal a tree. The thing about getting stoned is that you can never be bothered to actually do anything, except for maybe reaching the crisps and attempting to eat them.

I've said for many years that weed should be legal, that way the government can make sure that it's safer than buying from dealers. As others have pointed out, alcohol can be far worse.

Well there is a degree of this but everyone I know who has been smoking it long term has ended up seriously affected by it. Everyone else who quit after university or whenever have been fine. It ruined plenty of exceptionally intelligent people at university who could have had big futures but they chose to sit around and get lean every day instead.

I think its still a question of abuse, and the the type of person that's susceptible to cannabis. I've got a friend who is the complete opposite (well i obviously don't know for sure yet becuase i haven't finished uni but...) she smokes a *lot* the mind boggles me how much she spends actually, but i digress, she's revising a hell of a lot more than me now, and is guaranteed to do much better, just like last year, in her exams. She's totally dedicated, yet very laid back about it (funny that!). So it very much depends on the person, again like some people go over the top on lots of other things...

Oh and Del Lardo you've got me hooked on the streets again, got all the albums on in a playlist now Some quality tunes and lyrics

lets bring this back OT... Gordon really is a Tw@

Do you honestly think the Tories will re-grade cannabis? Not a hope in hell, it won't hold water with a good part of the core Tory voters.
Your only hope is the lib dems on that front.

Although this seems true I cannot help but think that he really wants to be a good prime minister. I get the sense that he feels as if he has something to prove & means to be a Good Prime minister. Whether he has the nowse to be a good PM is another thing but I do believe that his intentions are honourable.
This does not mean i will or won't vote for him at all & is just an observation.

Same here, I also think every drug should be illegal and stay that way. Given that I don't smoke and barely drink though, I admit to having a fairly limited view on it which is why I try not to get dragged into arguments/discussions about it.

You really need to open up on subjects like this mate as how else will people like myself understand your point of view.
I can honestly say that i think everybody has a habit of some kind whether it be Drink, drugs, Smoking. Are you telling me you take no thing at all ?
If so I am intrigued as to why you haven't tried them & if you have tried them why you don't use them etc.
Makes me sound like a pusher or pro drugs/substances but i am not. For me i think it is quite understandable why i have taken drugs all my life but then others would say it would be more of a reason not to take drugs. We are all so complex & individual i always enjoy talking with opposites.
Only purely out of interest & not having the chance to ask anybody else though

Yup, never smoked a cig in my life, never done drugs, don't really drink that often (though I can manage a skinfull if I want to). For me there's just no appeal. I'm a happy person and see no reason at all why I should potentially risk my health (as there's no such thing as a risk-free drug) for a high I feel pretty naturally.

If I do have a "habit" as you put it, then I guess it would be games. They can chill me out and make me happy in a way drugs do for other people I suspect, though I don't get withdrawal if I'm away from them for a while, something I know can be a problem with some narcotics.
