Weed

[Andrew_Culture]

I smell tobacco more often, and find that a much more obnoxious odour.
.

Even when I was a smoker the smell of cheap 'tailor mades' made me curl my nose. At least rollup don't have that awful chemical stink.

Somehow you just keep getting cooler. When do you think you'll peak?

When I grow a prize winning pot leek but that's a long way off as I need a leek trench in the back garden and lots of time to cosset them. They need more attention than a troublesome child.

You have inspired me, this year I will make a concerted effort to follow through with my plans to grow a square pumpkin.

Thats the same with any intoxicant and cannabis users dont tend to start fights in pubs or kick off in town centers on a Friday night

That's not necessarily the case I'm afraid.
In my vast experience of policing city drinking culture (and university and rugby community drinking myself!) the relatively small amount of fights and public disorder don't reflect the sheer amount of more positive drinking and healthy alcohol consumption.
Furthermore the vast majority of knife carriers/robbers/gang related criminals have cannabis tickets/arrests/convictions etc etc and regularly 'kick off' wherever the hell they want!

Just sayin...

Look, look, a reasoned and logical argument!

It wasnt reasoned or logical it was a statement.....should I change the word "wrong" for illegal?

Never smelt it on my commutes in Manchester.

Really?

I've no time for the stuff...it stinks..it's ruined some of my friend lives as they blindly live their lives in denial that all they ever think about is weed..weed weed and live in a 'cosy' little world of associated weed ritual as reality passes them by. Then they end up with bronchial problems, depression and all kinds of life issues...nah...whatever the stoners say it isnt cool, it is crap and life is much better without it.

very pervaisve on my northern side commute and far more frighteningly wafting out of car windows on a regular basis too.

I used to have to examine drugs wrappings as part of my job, there were days even with respirators I had to go and have a long sit down outside straight after I'd finished before I felt safe to do anything else

In fairness you could say the same about any 'recreational narcotic'. IMO anyone who says cannabis is harmless is a fool - and so is anyone who says it is more dangerous than tobacco, alcohol or Ecstacy and therefore has to be kept criminal.

Agreed, I've got (well had really) friends who are exactly the same in everyway as when we were in our early twenties and I lay the blame squarely at weed. Everything in moderation appears to be the key.

Almost anything in life is harmful if abused.

...

Some time in the past I used to have an occasional spliff, never found myself wanting to clout anyone and iirc I didnt drive either.

I've been pissed up many a time and I've never felt the urge to punch someone... and I've come across plenty of pot smoking meat heads to know that just because somebody likes a smoke, it doesn't pacify them.

this peace loving hippy myth is just a myth.

I've enjoyed a few pints on a Friday night and never "kicked off" in a town centre

I've not so much as kicked a football, not since I was eleven years old and suspected that I had broken my elbow, I went to play footy with my mates (despite hating football) and hit my elbow on a goalpost, which finished the job and broke it. That was the last time I ever played football.

What were we talking about?
