Just a quickie.
In the UK, a few high profile politicians have come out saying they "did inhale", and there is currently a big debate on whether the decrimilize cannabis, and down grade Ecstacy (we have gradings' of a, b & c. cannabis is currently b or c (dependent of strength of thc content) and Ecstacy is a). This is to try and give more time etc to deal with the more harmful sides of drug use. I think this is the correct way to go... Give more money and time to deal with serious addiction issues, and also the whole dealer / drug wars problems.
I smoke cannabis frequently (most days infact), & have done for a number of years. i've also used ecstacy for the past 8 years, even though over the past few years it's only every couple of months. I know that, while on e, I am happier and brighter than I can ever be, but I alkso know I'll crash at some point that week, and everyone I know says the same. Maybe the highs are simply worth it.
As for cannabis - I find this is just about the only thing that manages to relax me, and slow my brain down enough to chill out.
