Cannabis safety under UK scrutiny The government's drug advisory panel is meeting to decide if a decision to downgrade cannabis should be reversed after worries about mental health. Home Secretary Charles Clarke has asked the panel to particularly look at high strength cannabis, known as "skunk". When the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs met in 2002, evidence stated cannabis could worsen some conditions. Studies since have said the drug can cause psychiatric problems, while the Dutch may now outlaw stronger strains. In the UK, the council's conclusions three years ago helped persuade the government to make cannabis a class C rather than class B drug. Police officers were also told not to arrest adults for possessing the drug for their own use. However, there are new concerns because skunk and other more-powerful varieties of cannabis contain high levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient. In Holland the potency of cannabis has increased, leading the government there to consider reclassifying some strains alongside harder drugs. __________________________________________________ Sounds like a reclassification for sure...... maybe tak to stay class C but Skunk will become class B
still not people from smoking it tho. who gives a tosss bout the laws on cannabis now anyway. near enuff everyone smokes it
weed canfuck people in the head, i've seen it first hand with more thanone friend. its bizarre how people can change when they are smoking loads as opposed to when they aren't. it can be scary. some people can handle it fine, and some people it even improves character im sure. as a once in a while or social thing its not bad, but constantly doing it can seriously mess ith ya head.
