Cannabis user, nothing said about alcohol, seems to be common on threads today what with the train driver also on cannabis. I wonder if cannabis is the cause of both these horrific incidents and the damage it has caused to all the families left behind.

Oh quite often a comparison to the evils of alcohol are made as a deflection. I don't know whether these defenders of the weed have a more personal agenda, but it is all part of the debate I guess.

Yes, as some never should partake of mind altering substances if they already have a mental condition.

His reply on that makes sense. Not saying it was in your case, and it all depends on how many more ashtrays you've broken in this manner since.

No more self harm episodes, I just think it was not for me, and never smoked it again. Its an “I don’t care if you do, if you don’t care id I don’t” sort of thing with me. And the smell isn’t as bad as a lot of posters say, cigarettes and cigars are much worse. Peace
