I'm thinking of giving up alcohol for a year. Am I mad? Will life not be worth living? Anyone done similar? |  |

If you don’t know the side effects of cannabis, who is going to look after you if it fries your brain? |
I'm the living evidence that using it had no side effects.
It didn't fry my brain, I have proof of that via the several years of OU studies & degree that I got later. |  |

the scientific evidence* is that the risk is related to genetics and to age - it is much higher for those under 25.
* i know, i know, who cares about scientists and evidence. |  |

It was when I was 24 that I mostly took it!! But in small doses, and not very frequently, which may have had more to do with it. | |

All drugs have characteristics like this. The doors of labs should be open rather than slammed shut to all drugs so we can determine their worth or risk properly, and not based on political ideology or stereotypical images of drugs. | |

Wow, a new scientific approach. In the same way that smokers who don’t have cancer are the living proof that it’s harmless. Really with this drivel? |  |

hes right dear. You write off cannabis so quickly as illegal but ignore other legal drugs that cause far more problems (the opiods epidemic in America, or booze here for example). use it. |  |

Really? So how come morphine is so readily used? |
Yes, really. Morphine is used because it is the only painkiller we have. | |

I know I would really miss wine, especially with my food as it does increase the eating experience (at least for me it does).
I also love ales so would miss that although I've never liked spirits which is where I fear a lot of the problems are encountered.
Luckily I'm not planning on giving up either of the first two anytime soon although I did do a dry January once.

My taste buds changed because of it. I used to drink white wine but can't touch it now unless it has bubbles. I can only drink bottle beer and hate draught. |  |

For an independent thinker such as yourself, I'm just surprised you define a drug's value by whether its legal or not. That's why bringing in legal drugs is relevant. Also remember this is partly a territory thing too - I believe Cannabis *is* legal for medical uses in many US states. | |

It's a very strong indicator on whether it's right or wrong to take it. What you're seeing in the US are the results of powerful drug lobbies trying to open the floodgates to legalise cannabis, for their own selfish profit. | |

Can you explain what rigid scientific reasoning led to psilocybin being reclassified from a Cat C drug to a Cat A drug overnight on 2005? Or the same with cannabis from C to B. Or why the government sacked the head of one of the few scientific studies done on illegal drugs in the last 50 years. | |

I can well believe you might be right about powerful drug's companies and their motivations to make more profit, but then can't you see how that'll apply to other legal drugs and keeping those legal too? ie ciggies, booze and Opiates?
I would say everyone has to make their own minds up, with legal matters only being one of the things to consider. For example, i wouldn't grow anything of my own as the paneltiies for getting caught seem oddly stiff. That makes no sense though as allowing the growth of Cannabis for personal use would at a stroke do away with organised crime being involved in that trade. [Post edited 11 Dec 2017 12:18]

Same. I don't go to the pub if I'm not drinking. Long walks instead, and writing.
I've found staring into space is actually quite pleasant when sober. |
Last week I agreed to help a friend out with some driving duties. Paid gig. Long story, but it involved driving from Berlin to Dortmund. 6hrs each way.
We departed yesterday at 11am. With hindsight, we should have left at 6am.
A huge snowstorm caused accidents on the motorway & we sat in gridlocked traffic for 4hrs.
Our original planned arrival time of 3pm ended up being more like 8pm. The journey ended up taking 16hrs door to door & I didn't get home to Berlin till 4am this morning.
The hire car was decent & I quite enjoyed the drive. Got me thinking if I ever decided to give up the booze - I'd happily drive to every away Town match + take a few others for petrol costs.
The only problem is, I love beer as much as I love footy. I know it's a thouroughly depressing statement, but i don't think I'd enjoy myself unless I had a stack of beers onboard the train, heading up to some far flung jaunt. Pathetic isn't it. [Post edited 11 Dec 2017 12:55]

Yep, the latest research suggests there's a specific gene that places you at risk of developing mental health problems if you use cannabis in your younger years. If we had an informed approach to such matters we could educate people about this risk (including the prevalence of the gene) and work to avoid young people getting involved with cannabis when they are in those high risk years. Give it a decade or so and we'll probably all have our own genetic passport telling us what we may and may not be predisposed to and then if you have the risky gene you can simply avoid cannabis. Plenty of other good sh!t out there aside from cannabis. |  |

'Categories' of untested and harmful drugs are meaningless. There are mainly there for political purposes, which is why they move with no further knowledge on the subject. Drugs either have certain side effects or they don't. | |

Indeed, taking cannabis comes down to morals, which laws are derived from. | |

You can grow your own carrots at home, so I suspect that nobody goes out and buys them? Do you have any more stupid arguments? | |
