One session can be all it needs. Others are lucky and never suffer. It is luck of the draw." The strength of the cannabis we are talking about here would not be enough to give a lab rat a buzz! Your comment reminds me of an incident where a former colleague of mine who was a "Special" in the UK police force was undergoing training as a Cadet with a view to becoming a regular full time Police Officer. The instructor this particular day IMHO should not have been allowed to teach prospective Cub Scouts let alone prospective Police Officers! Acccording to my colleague, he said "Anybody who starts off by smoking pot is going to become a drug addict". Apart from that being a complete fallacy, this is what trainee Police Officers are being taught by people who are supposed to be experts in their particular field! It's like saying that any youngster who drinks a bottle of beer is going to become an alcoholic, and the chances of anybody ending up in a psychiatric hospital after smoking a couple of joints is equally remote.

Asian in America buy only ours here. It may well be true that some 5% of the American population hanker for rice from their homeland, just as my wife did when she was living in Egypt. But I'm sure that it doesn't give jasmine rice, nice though it may be, any notable 'tourism pulling power'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannabis as well as other hallucinogenic drugs can trigger the onset of a serious mental illness to someone who could otherwise have lived life without the condition. One session can be all it needs. Others are lucky and never suffer. It is luck of the draw. Have a visit to a psych hospital and see how many patients have ended up there with permanent conditions, not just the temporary drug induced psychosis that can occur as well. They shouldn't even be in the same sentence. Almost impossible to smoke enough weed to cause any hallucination. Never experienced, or known anyone who has, as that's just silly. Some really silly statements from some obviously ignorant people on the subject. People should stop watch 'Reefer Madness' ... ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more than enough studies now that prove the mediconal advantages of THC and CBD beyond a shadow of a doubt, but I guess you didn't care to look it up just so you can hold on to your negative point of view on the subject matter. I'm afraid like s any others you are misled. There are in reality VERY FEW studies that so any medical benefits. There re however a load of "papers" from various unrespected sources c;aimiming to show th benefits. When it comes to peer reviewed double blind trials, you'll find there is very little. It is of course the basic methodology of all quack medicines to publish all sorts of "studies" that claim to back up there wishes - a case of coming up with the idea first and then cherry-picking various stats and studies to try and back up their claims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 If they man up and make recreational pot completely legal, with no strings attached, and scrap test and go and all restrictions other than vax and PCR at home (not on arrival), they might attract any extra 10,000 tourists a month. Maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol tends to make people think they are race car drivers ... the latter, well, you wouldn't understand, just think the complete. opposite. Not any more, there's a herb out there for every occasion now. Joe Rogan ( a massive advocate ) uses a certain type for working out for focus, he's a mean Mofo as well.......google / YouTube is your friend.

You need to legalize it completely like Canada did, with all restrictions lifted so people can develop and sell proper strains and THEN people will come in droves! Why would you want to fly 12,000km to Thailand when Amsterdam is much closer to the centre of Europe, much cheaper and far less hassle? Even Canada is closer, plus they speak a similar language. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
