This is a link post Just fantastic! NSFW
The debut album for the band Is Tropical features the song The Greeks. To make themselves stand out from the crowd a little bit, they decided to animate what every little boy envisions is happening when they are playing war. The final result is a great mash-up of live action with cartoon carnage.

Edit: It seems ive been out of the loop its very GC.

This is a normal post I'd have been interested
to have heard him comment on what his doctors tried to do to stop the vomiting. I'm no medical professional, but I had a stomach disorder a few years back and i was warned that after just a few weeks the stomach and throat would not be able to take regular vomiting. And of course, any medicine taken orally would be expelled anyway and the vid shows tablets. I'm not calling fake; just a little suprised his doctors allowed him to vomit constantly for 12 months but did nothing and if he was puking up the tablets (and he implies he couldn't move without being sick), that side effect would stop because his body wouldn't be getting the medicine. Sorry if that upsets the legalise cannabis lobby, but i don't think this counts as evidence either way.

edit: Hang on; if he is puking 24/7/365, what difference would a hunger strike make? He has managed, according to him, to live a year without ingesting food. I now do call shennanigins and other agenda.

I don't see why cannabis is illegal. It grows naturally like any other plant. It doesn't kill anybody (not as a direct result from smoking it) and at the end of the day it's your body, you should be able to do what you want to it. Tobacco and alcohol are completely legal yet kill many people each year.
When you see people getting in fights on a night out it's pretty much due to them being drunk. When I get stoned I have a good time, don't hurt anybody and wake up the next day with no adverse effects. Why should that be illegal?
You always get the negative drug story of cannabis making people go mental and topping themselves. Those cases are few and far between. The media never publishes a positive drug story and the government will never legalise it because they have there image to consider which (to them) is far more important.

To decriminalize it for personal use would be a good thing but then, there will be the case of how much is considered for personal use. If they did legalize drugs they would end the "war on drugs" (a war which drug users are winning) which would allow money to be better spent elsewhere, make it safer for people to buy, have quality control over it and it would also create jobs.

This is a normal post The gateway drug theory...
this always seems somewhat moot for me anyway. Many people dabble in drugs without irreparably damaging themselves, it's the people who are most marginalized by society who tend to get sucked into the vicious cycle, perhaps starting off with soft drugs. But I think it is the socioeconomic conditions of these people that make these people susceptible to this, rather than the availability of soft drugs to start them off. If people want/need to get off their faces, they're going to find a way. If there's no drugs or if they never get into drugs, maybe it will be alcohol instead.

Also, I the only thing i think cannabis as a gateway drug for is tobacco.

The primary aim of decriminalization was to reduce the marginalization of drug users and start making treatment more accessible. In countries where drug use is completely illegal many users are cut off from treatment and disease prevention (such as provision of clean needles etc.) through taboo and persecution. Since decriminalization in Portugal not only have the adverse effects of drug use been reduced dramatically, but the prevalence of drug use has also reduced. If there is less market share, there must be less dealers.

This is a normal post If people are going to start using something they have never tried, solely on the basis that it's legal now and wasn't before, (and I'm talking about all substances here, not just cannabis) then they need to learn to live with the decisions they make.
And harm could be prevented by improving both the drug awareness programs and the treatment facilities to more informed and helpful positions. That needs to happen regardless. In any case I think there's no reason why any substance should be out of bounds for scientific inquiry. The less we know about a substance the more it stands to harm us through our own negligence.

Plenty of teenagers DO start with hard drugs. Just look at the kids sniffing glue, inhaling computer duster, smoking bath salts. Would those kids be doing such things if cannabis were legal? Maybe some of them would, but then that reinforces my point that awareness programs are totally insufficient right now.

*packs bags & sets off * :).........:In July 2001, Portugal became the first European country to formalize decriminalization of drug possession for personal use, when they introduced Law 30/2000. The law decriminalized the use, possession and acquisition of all types of illicit substances for personal use, defined as being up to ten days' supply of that substance. This was in line with the de facto Portuguese drug policy before the reform. Drug addicts were then to be aggressively targeted with therapy or community service rather than fines or waivers.[6] Even if there are no criminal penalties, these changes did not legalize drug use in Portugal. Possession has remained prohibited by Portuguese law, and criminal penalties are still applied to drug growers, dealers and traffickers

There is no doubt in my my mind that if alcohol had been 'discovered' last week, it would never be made legal to sell for recreational use. Tobacco I'm not so sure, because it doesn't alter the state of mind as much as the other two. If cannabis was legal, you would still need laws about driving, using machinery or looking after children, so it isn't as easy as all that. I'd not want a stoned doctor, air traffic controller, pilot, taxi driver, judge, jury, surgeon, etc.
I'm guessing banning it wholesale is a cheaper option.

But rugby causes broken bones. So does horse riding. Boxing! How much do they cost that we cheerfully pay for on the NHS. I'm not sure where a line can be drawn.

Also, that Irish thing is a bit bollocks isn't it? I've beaten Irish mates at shithead and barely got a rise out of them.

The problem with this debate - and it's one that should be had - is that both sides don't half tend to talk some shite.

Been following these guys for about a decade after a friend got throat cancer.

It does help with the after affects of chemo but not everyone wants to smoke or for that matter get high everyday in order to function.

If you want it go ask your doctor as it's available of the NHS now.

As the result of a shit joke taken too far, I am the singer in Britain's worst but also kind of greatest band. We're called The Crafty Butchers, we don't have a drummer, and all our songs are about meat. We're shit!

It was on every weeknight at 6pm. The cheat & tips show (with Walliams) was on Thursdays IIRC. There was also a review show, a couple of competition shows where people played various 2 player games against each other and also people trying to play games, live, via telephone (press 2 to go up, 8 down etc. WITH the invariable few seconds of time delay).

Um yeah, can't remember that much else tbh.
