    ONE in three young people find cannabis use unacceptable, according to research suggesting the drug is now seen as addictive and linked to health and social problems.

    A new survey by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre found marijuana use has become socially unfashionable, with three-quarters of the 1500 adults surveyed believing it is dangerous or very dangerous.

    Nearly half believed cannabis can cause schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorder to a moderate or large degree.

    Almost half of people aged under 30 reported having friends who use cannabis.

    Centre spokesman Paul Dillon said the data clearly showed being stoned just did not seem to be as acceptable as it once was.

    "The Australian community is ready to accept a non-smoking message," he said. "People are starting to see smokers, not only tobacco smokers but any smokers, as being isolated."

    Mr Dillon said prevention programs, particularly school drug education programs, were doing a great job teaching about the harm of cannabis.

    But he expressed concern that many people were not getting information about cannabis from reliable sources.

    The Howard Government said the data vindicated its tough stance on marijuana use. Parliamentary secretary for health Christopher Pyne said it showed young people were starting to recognise that cannabis and mental health were linked.

  10. Heh, I participated in this survey. They paid me $30. I bought weed with the money.

  15. i've never been cool cuz i smoke weed. . . in fact it created a pothead stigma that i've had to overcome more than once society wise. fuck it ima get lifted and go pants some nerds then the football team will let me sit at the cool table :smoking:
     
  16. sorry i was shitfaced but i kinda sobered up but if less people are smokeing pot that means less buyer and if some weed dealer lost some buyer hed have to up the price on it so he keeps getting the same money as befor
     
  17. who says cannabis isn't cool? :cool:
     
  18. juggalo, you should study supply and demand a little. Prices go up because demand outweighs supply, and the market's gotta find equillibrium. I wouldn't be worried about prices going up, i'd be worried about dealers getting out the game, cause it's just not as profitable anymore. I know i wouldn't start paying 70 bucks an 8th, just because my guy had less people to sell to. There will always be smoke-for-free dealers, guys that sell just to smoke and break even. Find those guys.
     
  19. It goes to show that big brother and his propaganda works, F#cking dicks anyhow. Scare the shit out of 6 and 7 year olds about pot and they grow-up paranoid about pot use, anyone see the irony here.
     
  20. I don't think the anti-marijuana people realize how prominant pot really is ... I mean... it is EVERYWHERE. You name it, they do. Pastors, teachers, doctors, street bums, astrologists, seimologists, the list goes on.
