fair do's, i concede that it can do some messed up and horrible stuff to people with the wrong mental disposition in the first place, and my apologies if my post seemed a little insensitive, what happened to your friend sounds like a horrible thing.
but compare any of the figures relating to this drug to alcohol and cigarettes and it rapidly starts to look like the tiniest of worries.
it bugs me that there is still such a mssive worry being generated by the government over this drug when they couldn't care less (i know this is an understatement, but for the sake of brevity i'm simplifying) about one that is already killing hundreds of thousands a year, and is no doubt ( i can't be fucked to go google the figures, as i said, i'm a stoner) responsible for the massive mental degradation of all of it's addicts, testimony to which is abundance of piss-covered tramps in town centres who before hitting the bottle would never have considered such a lack of personal care.
all in all, it's the hypocrisy that gets me, that and the fact that i'm made to feel like a psychotic leper if i discuss this with people who have no understanding of the other side of the argument.
