This balance between THC and CBD being the crucial factor as to whether the cannabis you take causes psychosis or not was part of the content of a Horizon programme some years ago. It is the high levels of THC and low levels of CBD that makes skunk so dangerous the programme pointed out

Sad to say it's not much use to give us the TV reference when we cannot view that Horizon programme on iPlayer uncleglen.

The important thing is to continue the flow of information, partly to help teenagers stay updated and partly to help long term smokers.

In common with plenty of other readers I expect, lost some dear ol'pals to the negative influence of weed, even though we all read books which told us it was harmless, and believed legalisation was the way forward.

Maybe, maybe.


I like to think about unintended consequences as i like Freakeconomics.


I am in no way glamorising drug dealers/dealing and particularly at the hard end the violence that goes with it etc...but taking it 'off the street' will take A LOT of money off the street and give it to the man - e.g. Glaxo/John Player/ GrassRus plc, etc.


No simple answer BUT that will happen.

Currently the man is a bunch of chaps in Mexico that delight in the most brutal form of governing.

At least Glaxo can put some of the profits into drugs that save lives and stuff.


The drugs trade is hideously taxed, just not by the man or by Osborne. It certainly isn't some leveller picking up the little guy, it's just misery and exploitation across the entire supply chain.


Legalise it.


As for skunk, well it has it's moments, but I'm old fashioned and I never really did see eye to eye with all this green stuff, natural or no.


Not that I've been within a country mile of the stuff since about 2001

But what a great opportunity when they apply for jobs in the shops 'relevant experience: 10 years dealing; relevant knowledge: an anoraks discernment on very nuance of weed and resin' the jobs yours, just don't steal from me or I'll shoot you....sorry, force of habit....

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
