 So I was watching this show about weed, and how it's becoming legal to buy, even just to get high, in Colorado and Washington.
	So I was watching this show about weed, and how it's becoming legal to buy, even just to get high, in Colorado and Washington.And I was looking at the pros and cons of it and all that, and I'm 50/50. I'd quite like to try it as a painkiller, see if it helps the old wobbly-guts.
I was completely against it not long ago, but now i'm on the fence.
What do you reckon about a bit of weed?

 I reckon the best thing you could do for yourself would be to eat more healthily and maybe
	I reckon the best thing you could do for yourself would be to eat more healthily and maybethink about losing a little weight. Perhaps cut out the fags, too. You say your condition's not aggravated by dietary stuff and you'd know better than me, but if I were in your situation, I'd at least try to make sure that I was as healthy as I could be.
As for weed, I'm not a fan. I tried it the same as everybody else when I was a teenager and I didn't like what it did to me. Generally speaking I think the weaker varieties shouldn't be controlled, since they don't seem to hae done the previous generations any harm. The more modern stronger varieties ought to be properly investigated before a decision's made.
More than anything else, I hate kneejerk Daily Mail style reactionary attitudes. I DONT LIKE IT is not reasonable grounds for law changes. Neither is I WANT TO DO IT WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED, to be fair.
