Marijuana and David Cameron

Posted by Twizcouk on Sunday, 11 February 2007 13:24:26

I couldn't care less whether David Cameron has smoked drugs or not.It really makes no difference to me.What does make a difference to me is he has not been showing leadership ability. He has his eye on the running of the country. Against being 'honest' and 'open'. By saying nothing he is thinking to himself " If I admit I tried it I could be in trouble with my Party and my leadership". Well if you think that is tough David, how long before a real problem arises when or if in power? Marijuana is against the law. Well who says the law is right? People bang on about medical problems it causes-so? Its an adults right to smoke what they flippin' well like! Law or no law. I call for the legalisation of ALL drugs. Why? Because then treatment centres from drug revenue could be opened all over this country, huge revenue accrues financially to the Government and the country-replacing North Sea Oil. And sod any other country that doesn't like it. Twiz

Yes, adults do have a right to smoke what they flippin' well like! BUT children don't and a large proportion of people smoking dope are under 18. The earlier they smoke dope, the more likely they are to suffer from mental health problems associated with marijuana. Yes I am banging on about the medical problems it causes and you obviously have not encountered a problem, or know anyone or any family who has suffered from "medical problems" associated with smoking skunk, but I can assure you if you did, you would not simply say "So? I think you need to think through the issue again.

Okay I LOVE the term super - skunk even if it is a Daily Mail word used to scare uninformed mothers. Here are the disadvantages of marijuana which I experienced more or less constantly from the ages 17-21 in as honest a way as I can explain them:

1) Problems of short term memory - times, dates, names etc. If I was learning about a subject with which I was engaged however, I experienced no problems whatsoever.

2) Demotivation - It is true that I took very little excercise while smoking but frankly that was the case before and after. While a smoker I completed two years of Further and two years of Higher education, was Head Boy of my school, was reasonably sociable, held two jobs and involved myself in various musical, artistic and political activities.

3) Intensity of Feeling - In terms of becoming introverted or paranoid I did not find that to be the case at all. Some normal moods and emotional states are rendered more intense, admittedly and I think it is perfectly feasible to imagine a severely depressed person becoming suicidal under the prolonged influence of cannabis. This can be a real problem.

4) Addiction/Degradation of Attention Span - For me these two things are one and the same. The disruption to the attention span comes from a constant, if subconscious, yearning to satisfy the addiction. Anyone who says cannabis is not addictive is a liar. Which is not to say everyone who smokes cannabis is susceptible to the addiction (see DC).

5) Alienation - If you are stoned and going about your life, you are not free to express that fact. The sense of alienation comes from the knowledge of doing something illegal - not from an inherent property of the drug. Among people who know and accept that lifestyle choice this is not an issue.

Cannabis is only a gateway drug in that the people who sell it are likely to offer other wares of a stronger and more addictive nature. That said, alcohol is stronger and more addictive than cannabis and was the first problem I encountered when coming off cannabis which I did for financial reasons as well as a more general dislike of addiction . If alcohol is legal, the milder forms of cannabis should definitely be.

Mr Cameron. If you go down to the schemes today you're sure of a big surprise.

In those communities blighted by problems of addiction, it is not the majiuna smokers who are a problem on the streets and in their families, it is the alcoholics. Anyone can tell you that and I suspect that they may have already. I understand that this is a difficult issue to move on, but if you really want to make Britain better for everyone there is no better way to start than acknowledging the hypocrisy inherent in the relative classifications of alcohol and marijuana.
