    im not from england, but the fight to free the plant is a world wide struggle.

    and anything about weed causeing mental illness is bullshit, first it isnt right or ethical to claim a person who smokes weed and is crazy, happens to be crazy because they smoke. also it may be the person with the illness in the first place try's to self medicate with pot.

    At the moment the UK news is going crazy about this,
    plus it's all over the newspapers, etc.
    Not only that, even the Dutch government and looking
    into reclassifying the strong Skunk weeds being sold
    as well.
    This is all unfortunate and a knock back.
    What right does anyone have to say I can't smoke it
    in the privacy of my own home.

    I think I'm going to emmigrate.

    seriously, I believe this is just another moral panic created to either ...deter young people from trying weed, or jit's just a matter of political propaganda (so close to the elections)
    I was listening to this programme on the radio last night and one of the callers claimed she knew FOUR people who used to be heavy users that ended up with mental problems...i was laughing so hard...you can't be that easy to convince..
