    It's so beautiful to read the comments; so many people that don't smoke, fuck some don't even want legalisation and they're still calling bullshit on these "studies"
     
  3. Couldn't be any relationship to his position, could it?

    A pro-cannabis group in Milton Keynes has hit out at a World Health Organisation (WHO) report that smoking the plant has negative long-term effects.
    Today (Tuesday) a report has been released by Professor Wayne Hall, a drugs advisor to WHO, which argues the long-term effects of cannabis are negative.
    The 20 year study claims cannabis is highly addictive and causes mental health problems.
    But one of the creators of Milton Keynes Cannabis Social Club, which has a community Facebook page with nearly 1000 members, argued: “Firstly, the idea that cannabis is a ‘gateway drug' is flawed.
    “Most people I knew tried tobacco or alcohol before cannabis, so are they not the 'gateway drugs' if such a theory is even true?

    “Much of the report is based around effects of cannabis smoked as a teenager. With a government controlled regulation of the market and with the use of licensed shops or cafés we could see cannabis available to citizens 18 plus only.
    “Also, even this 'damning' report states the chance of a fatal overdose is ‘very small' and cannabis was ‘not as harmful as other illicit drugs such as amphetamine, cocaine and heroin', with which it is classified under the law in many countries.”
    On Milton Keynes Cannabis Social Club, which currently has 988 Likes on Facebook, people discuss the reasons why they think the Class B drug should be legalised and what happens in other areas, like the US state of Colorado, where it is legal.
    Our source added: “The group was set up originally because we wanted a platform to dispel much of the anti-cannabis propaganda being spread all over Facebook as a reaction to what, at the time, was the start of the legalisation process in Colorado.
    “We wanted to be right on ground zero of the legalisation debate in our region, helping to spread awareness.”
    Many of the Facebook page users believe the drug should be legalised and stop the ‘black market' which currently exists.
    “Milton Keynes has always been a place filled with forward thinking minds and progressive people”, said the page spokesman,
    “It's a plant. A very wonderful plant with many uses other than just to get high.
    “I'd rather see this plant regulated and available to citizens 18 or over, with scope to grow a personal amount. It was made illegal for little to no reason and has been kept that way due to old propaganda and leftover stigma from previous generations.”
    Users on the page strongly feel the drug has medical benefits for illnesses including cancers, tuberculosis and multiple sclerosis.
    But what do you think to the group's views, should the drug be legalised?
