Yeah, but if it was soap bar then 600 joints might give you a slight buzz, if that.

Recent UK research has shown that roughly 800 people a year are driven to hospital treatment by cannabis use, out of a population of 58m, more people suffer alcohol psychosis every weekend. Half of the 'horror' stories you here are some middle-englander-dailymail-woman, freaking out cos her son can't be arsed going to Uni anymore, not exactly 'Christiane F'* is it.

*70s autobiography of Berlin schoolgirl turned heroin addict, scary stuff.

erm, that's 85 joints a day, which is 3.5 joints an hour (provided you don't go to bed). He must have been pretty nifty at skinning up! There's no way anyone could be arsed brutally murdering someone if they were that stoned.....unless it was the sleep deprivation that drove him to it?

maybe he was totally tripping off of his goof balls or something and it seemed like the decent thing to do.

Cannabis reclassification (so I read) is due soon, probably next week if the newspapers are right.

There is a good (and very opinionated) article by Simon Jenkins on the Guardian website about it anyone's interested Simon Jenkins: The only message being sent is of cowardice and stupidity | Comment is free | The Guardian

Not to mention yesterdays headline that the Association of Chiefs of Police have said it will not affect their arrest and caution policy. It is empty posturing, the worst sort of gesture politics, and goes contrary to the fact that the previous reclassification was proving effective in reducing use. But Mr Brown (is a clown who rides around the town, ta Bob) is not interested in that, and would prefer to play politics with peoples lives.

In that state he would have been doing well to just watch Countdown and eat monster munch.

So how did the demonstration go? Did anyone attend?

I believe they missed it, they were too busy arguing whose turn it was to get it together to make the toast...
