Watch John Snow chuck a whitey on 4 plus 1 now

Give an old man really strong weed for probably the first time ever (he's probably done hash in his younger days, but that's like comparing whiskey to beer) and he has a rough time, no sh*t.
 
And being filmed and put in an mri machine at the same time, not exactly a relaxing environment like a sofa and some tunes.
 
So to conclude, rocky good, green bad, brown teeth and hot rock holes withstanding. This is mainly because of the lack of antipsychotic in manipulated herbal weed as opposed to hash.

If this was the Beeb I'd think the government was paving the way to legalise resin, after all America is making a sh*t load of money from the tax revenue, that's what makes me laugh, we SPEND money stopping people doing it while also spending billions cleaning up the mess from the alcohol culture year on year.

Then you realise it's channel 4 and the Tories, so no chance of legalising it yet.

Even Labour bottled it when a think tank of legal, medical, and social experts said it should be legalised, back in 2007 I think it was, and Jaqui Smith in her infinite wisdom vetoed their conclusion. I guess Blair didn't want it on his cv, not that his cv could look any worse anyway.

You've got to laugh that America, one of the most conservative countries in the world has made it happen and are reaping the rewards and taking the money back from the black market, and here we are with an alcoholic drinking culture killing thousands every year, and causing incalculable social damage, and it is not only accepted, but encouraged, f*cking perverse, meanwhile a black market for weed, a much less harmful drug, is thriving and also taking up resources trying to fight a war against it. F*cking boneheaded sh*t.
 
What a set up! Overdose him on skunk in a vapouriser, only one outcome possible, what a load of cobblers.

That's like injecting polish spirit straight into your veins as your first taste of alcohol.

Taking the viewing public for mugs.

was going to watch, won't bother now.

Never balanced is it?!

I would, despite being a thinly veiled attempt to say ''folks, the cannabis you used to smoke in the 60's through to the 90's, that we always said was really bad, well turns out we were lying, but this new stuff which has blossomed in the black market largely because of the prohibition, actually can be baad m'kay.''.

But I feel that's mainly because Snow was a tad naive and had a bad reaction, the only one who did, there were a few test subjects, and there are some interesting people and points, like neuroscientist Prof. David Nutt who's a refreshing voice of reason on the subject.

Richard Branson's on it too for a bit.

The message from the show was obviously not to promote it, but to try and be objective, and most of the audience were pro cannabis, so from the perspective of being more open minded about it than you'd ever usually see a British mainstream tv show, it is interesting enough to be worth a watch. It's probably on 4od now.

Chuck a whitey? We always used to say - pull a whitey.

We used to pull buckets and chuck whiteys :17:

 
And for the record I don't smoke it anymore, it's too damn expensive! 10er a gram? What am I? Made of money? :21:
 
I agree with Juan. When he had it I thought he is alot older, than the others, he is going to react differently. I found the program very peculiar to be honest.
 
Plus yeah, an MRI scan and that machine is a horrible machine to go in without drugs. I have had to have 1 in the past, so my Husband and late Mom
 
Ahhh that brings me back :139: :10:


I don't smoke it anymore (for my own mental health reasons, nothing against it), but this is just ridiculous.

They might as well as have thrown 150 magic mushrooms in an 8 years mouth and said "well, what you think of that then??!!"

I had no idea what this thread title meant!

I still have no idea!
Anyway, I don't really have a problem with the idea of so-called soft drugs being legalised. I was once in a pub with a guy who, with a pint in one hand, and a cigar in the other, was lecturing another fellow on the dangers of drugs. It was quite surreal.
And, if legalised, it could be taxed and, in theory, some of the money could be used for both educational and health assistance for users.
In the end, it's very hard and (in many cases wrong) to make people "be good".
It's not black and white, however, and there is the issue as to where you draw the line between what is "soft" and what is "hard". (Some, of course, might argue that the line does not exist.)
Also, the idea that making something legal will then cause "the bad guys" to fade away is not always the case. I'm not sure if it's the case in the UK (I'm not into the street scene too much....) but in Dublin, on any given Saturday afternoon, you will be able to buy cigarettes on the street for less than in the shops.
And don't talk to me about poteen!

OMG BBJ! You just bought back a memory of poteen! When I met the ex, there was a bottle in his home. His parents were away for a month in Ireland. Couple of tipples of that and you really didn't want anymore to drink. The next door neighbor made it :19:
 
Kefkat, in my drinking days, I used to visit a pub in Mrs BBJ's home town in the west of Ireland where the landlady had what she called "the priest's bottle" which she kept under the counter for special guests (of whom I was one).
Those were the days......(thankfully, they're over!)
