Popular Post Bday Prang Posted April 2 Popular Post Share Posted April 2 And as I predicted the choreographed media assault on cannabis has started again, Fake news without doubt, I'm not saying the incident didn't take place, but I am pretty much certain that cannabis was not responsible for him sinking, If losing buoyancy was a side effect (which it is not) this would not be the first time this has happened, and as there is no evidence that cannabis was a contributory factor why was it even mentioned? 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the best they can do, they really are clutching at straws This regurgitation of reefer madness should be called out for the b/s that it is.

Thingamabob Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I very much doubt weed was the cause of this incident. Alcohol more likely to be the culprit, as the man's wife later confirmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
