London Drugs Commission to look at legalising cannabis

You may know or heard of carl sagan, famous astrophysicist but what you may not know is he secretly wrote an essay about cannabis under the pseudonym "Mr. X".

i have yet too see violence caused by any body that has smoked weed , they just want to be friends with every one .

Never smoked cannabis then??

Spice might be the one you're thinking of? Synthetic cannabis.

Plead the 5th on that.

My point is, Skunk and similar is much, much stronger than anything I may or may not have smoked years ago.

And causes mental health issues.

Reminds me of the American footballer who was asked how he felt about playing on Astroturf - "Dunno, man, I've never smoked it"!

i have smoked cannabis every night for over 35 years for my insomnia, and as for skunk there are many brands out there with different strengths so no if anyone gets violent it is in their nature to do so and nothing to do with cannabis .

It is known to trigger psychosis in those succeptable and there's a lot of good evidence it substantially raises the risk of schizophrenia if used heavilly in adolesence. Most commercial/street stuff is grown for max THC and ignores the important role CBD/CBN etc...play.

There's also an emerging trend to spray it with spice-like synthetic cannabanoids to make it more potent and addictive according to a few interviews with wholesale whistleblowers: Vice doc

Don't get me wrong I have a UK prescription for it for epillepsy as I'm on the max dose of an anti-epilleptic, I've had life threatening reactions to other anti-epileptics and higher CBD/CBN strains have kept me seizure free but like all drugs/medicines it has bad side effects if abused.

Sadly the recent Tory Party conference and Police and Crime Commisioner speeches laid out their intentions to make Cannabis a Class A on par with Heroin and Crack as they see it as a 'gateway drug' and think the only solution is to make sure only people peddling heroin and crack sell it instead of GPs.

There's so far been no aknowledgement or mention of how the proposed uprade will affect those with legal prescriptions and they're being ridiculed for such bizarre statements/solutions to he issues of street drugs and county lines gangs.

grew up in Brighton who wanted to take over from Amsterdam as the pot capital of Europe.. they also wanted to allow kids to drink in pubs but the issue is neither they or London can decide their own laws, the nearest Brighton has got is the canna kitchen and even then it uses legal constituents parts of cannabis..

the only thing Brighton and London can do is suggest the police don't police certain laws..

That's great news. I'm going to tell my British friend with autism about it. He often has panic attacks and sometimes even mild aggression from stress. In addition, he has anxiety. When he came to visit me for the vacation, he tried drinking my CBD oil during the whole week of the vacation. And he said he hadn't felt so calm in a long time. The authorities in different countries should consider legalizing cannabis because it's not just a junkie thing. It's something that can help a lot of people in need, people with autism, paranoia, or PTSD. I'm stressed at work, so I always have CBD oil or a CBD drink from brantford dispensary. I'm happy to use it.

I think small home grows will be part of the deal , the industry to support that is already in place due to legal grey areas , it's not illegal to sell or buy cannabis seeds in this country but it is illegal to germinate them.

You seem to be a bit of an expert on the this..
