Just look at how much tax is put on a packet of fags, or a bottle of alcohol:- so as long as they keep putting as much tax on fags and booze as they like, fags and booze will not be frowned upon by the politicians irregardless of whether or not they are more dangerous than ganga, because of the vast revenue they get from them.

A complete, bumbling, incompetent dunce. And I mean no disrespect to anyone who may be mentally challenged by comparing this guy to you.No one deserved to be called retarded half so much as this blundering fool of a half-wit.

The last time I was at a hospital, you could see the cigarette smokers, drinkers and overeaters on the brink of death. Not a single marijuana addict?! What about the morgues full of cannabis overdoses?! Not a single one. I would ask the politicians of dangerous cannabis, okay if it's dangerously overpotent, then where all the sick and dying from marijuana? Surely you could point to a group of people suffering from cannabis use and say, see there! Otherwise, it is an obvious lie.

Have any of these Goverment Officials simply thought about what the effects of both are? You have to be a complete idiot to think alcohol is a safer choice. Everyone make sure you Vote for Obama because if McCain makes office we all just took two steps backwards! And 4 years from now vote for RON PAUL!!! We all need to stand up to the bullshit!

If you check the UKCIA (Cannabis Internet Activists) website, you can see numerous comments about a current worsening of the problem of cantamination in the cannabis supply. Dealers in pursuit of profit are adding toxic stuff like glass dust and lead (to increase weight). In Britain and parts of Europe there is a large population of "mixusers" who combine cannabis and tobacco in the same "joint" (that's what they think the word means) or "spliff". The UKCIA has a section entitled Toke Pure which campaigns against this terrible practice, a danger to everybody because the victims, with tobacco present, can't tell if there is crap in their weed, and this emboldens treacherous dealers to poison the herb for everybody (especially those without the courage to say NO when it may be a while before they can find some other herb.
