"Cannabis"

Well, the drug is being (or has been) downgraded to class C. What does this mean? The government are keen to point out that it is still illegal, that those in possession will still be arrested.

On the news tonight, they used the phrase "Cannabis, a drug tens of thousands of people choose to smoke each week". I think they are seriously underestimating how widespread its use is. I wager everyone on here knows somebody who smokes it, I certainly do. Could decriminalizing the drug work in this country? There are huge benefits for the government in the way that it would free up a lot of police time, which could be used for catching those dealing/possessing harder drugs.

Is there any point whatsoever in downgrading the drug as they have done?

Do you have any views on the drug, or the questions I have asked above?

nob has an entirely different meaning to knob.

Can be both..

That is a knob.

Borat, if purposefully setting out to break the law doesn't make you irresponsible, what does?

Nah, because a nob is an item.

"I pulled the nob, and white stuff came out."
"I like sugar"


Y'see?

How many of you have seen Traffic?

See, it lets you use nob. This is sexual discrimination :P

And in answer to Snuggly, yes you are still a waster even if you go to Amsterdam because you've gone all that way, and akin to people who spend their days in Spain recovering from a nights excess drinking, you've gone all that way for sweet FA.

So I can call something/someone a word relating to excrement but not a physical feature? How about nob?

Ooh ooh - I have a question.

If I was to travel to Amsterdam, and smoke a joint in a hash cafe (which is perfectly legal there), would I still be a waster? After all, it's the same act, only in a location where it's not illegal. How does that fit in with your Drugs = illegal, illegal = criminal, criminal = waster theory Bell?

Mr Snuggly and Special Reserve do not advocate the use of illegal drugs

I don't think you understand what I mean by responsible. I'm not forcing you to smoke it, I'm not going to get in my car stoned and run people over. Apart from paying someone who is harvesting a naturally occuring plant, I am doing nothing wrong. I do it in my own home, or in a friends home, away from children and people who are against the idea. I disagree with the law that cannabis should not be owned, and choose to break it. I know the risks, I will accept the consequences.

This doesn't make me irresponsible. The only bad thing to come of this, is damage to my own health, which I am fully aware of and is a disadvantage I have considered and accepted.
