Did your opinion change? Looking back.

Think the easy thing is for the UK to say that because it kicks the can down the road when they don't necessarily want to discuss, or hadn't really considered it, given the current situation the UK finds itself in

But when William Hague is one who says "we need to really revisit this..." it's time to start thinking long and hard

The problem is, as highlighted in the article, they believe "it can cause serious harm when misused".

And while it's doing so people at tetherhooks are rushing to the states, paying small fortunes for medical care out of their own pockets, but finally finding some small relief with a drug that has
as you stated been illegal since the 1920's.

So (like you I'm supposing) wish he UK would get off the pot and get on the pot so to speak.

I don't see that as a bad thing. After all those Europeans always look so smug about how their health care are better. So it's nice to see the water flows other way sometime

Brilliant! Utterly agree.
Well said.

Generalise much?

Seriously though beeing anoyed with other countries smuggnes is rather weird to hear from someone who lives in the US where you can't throw a rock without hitting someone yelling GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!

:edit yo hank, i think you misread something ps i don't have problem with generalisations (as seen in the sentence that follows) it was just a joke refering to little back and forth in the trump thread.

[Hank001]

@ grim lock

Yes I generalise. People are smart enough
to figure things out for themselves for @$!# sake.

[Mightysword]

@ Mightysword
Can't take a complement?

Think you're quoting the right person?

[Hank001]

Sorry. Blind ol' me screwed up.

[Mightysword]

you last post it seems you're talking to Grim but @Mightysword instead.

And yeah, this is not reddit so I figured we don't need the /s .

[Hank001]

Oops. Your too right.
My fault. Text 2 speech doesnt read poster.
Go by icons or lack of.

Thanks Mightysword.

And yes. I'm slighly blotto. Which is Very on topic
and makes a few points on it's own I suppose.

[Grim Lock]

Funny as hell though, take a sec to re-read what i posted too i think.


Or not


Guess i shouldn't be on the substance beeing debated while replying hahaha

Yeah I'm kind of laughing at the irony there myself.

Erm, why would they do that? They could go for treatments for legal cannabis in the following:

Germany, Israel, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Cyprus, Netherlands, Luxumberg, Macedonia, Switzerland, Poland, Norway or San Marino.

and they may even get it free due to the EHIC - European health insurance - means we get free (necessary) healthcare throughout the EU... at least for now

Believe it or not, there are more countries in the world than just the US

[Hank001]

Chips asks:

Erm, why would they do that?

The way I hear it it's the combination of the
quality of the oncologists and their monitoring the MML
program. The Veteran's Administration (VA) won't touch MML and can't refer it but they put me in a program in a civilian hospital that did. The British lady I met was with me at one of them.

I suppose I missled. It's the combination of a world class hospital and an MM program and doctors to monitor the use.

Most of the non-US in the program are referred to the hospital by their native countries.

Was gone for a bit and don't want to to pick up pages ago when the conversation moved on. Just for those who were in a discussion with me and never got anything back on their quite lengthy posts.

Who could that have possibly been? (no prob)

Friends jibed be at lunch.

Sweet! Grats, man!

Which albums? I still have my giant wrapping paper from Cheech & Chong. I guess they couldn't put that in a CD, though. I had Steve Martin's "A wild and crazy guy" on 8-track, back in the day.

[fiksal]

Four years ago we talked about the legalisation of weed.

A lot has changed since then. I for example learned that the word 'legal' only has two "L" in it.

"Crowd sourcing your legal defense fund." Was still a new idea.

And a bunch of people I haven't seen around in quite some time were still active.

Did your opinion on the topic change? If yes, why?

If it hasn't did your arguments for why it should or shouldn't be legal stay the same?

Edit: For those who were not here last time around, what is your opinion? Also do you think you changed it over the last years?

Well you made me actually go search through the pages, and I'll self quote myself, apparently my opinion didnt change

To OP:

Yes.

Why not.

Perhaps the reason got a bit more complex; I see value in it used as medicine, and I see it on par with alcohol when it comes to recreational use.

[Hank001]

@ Morkonan:
Well C&C was Big Bamboo. Got an apology that it didn't have the same "insert" as the album. I reminded him I don't smoke (I kid people with what I do take. "What's that your eating?" I hold up the green cookie, "Soylent Green."

Carlin's was one I never heard of. He looks as old as me on the cover. The Best of George Carlin.
