UK Government drug Policy
I'm not sure there is much medical proof of the matter, but I can think of several old stoners who just 'never came down' off their trip. I'm all for a little hallucination, but I don't think I would enjoy giving up that many of my faculties at once. It would just feel too scary. Consequently I never repeated my failed shrooms experiment.

I tried shrooms one time and nothing happened. Of course I did fry them and serve them with a stake, it might have fouled the active ingredients. They were hand picked by experienced hippies so they must have been the genuine article.

Bizarre turn of events in Afghanistan
Can't we just assassinate the old maharajah and promote some ambitious fellow who is more understanding of our goals. It's worked reasonably well so far.

Well jeez, just smoke a very small amount if you don't know what you've got. Anyway you are better off paying extra for premium and smoking less of it than using too much 'standard'

It helps with appetite, the munchies, and is given to patients to counteract for instance the effects of chemotherapy. There is even a synthesized cannabis pill for those who dislike smoking it.

I'm willing to be that you know a whole lot of people you would never think smoked but actually do. You don't need to have glassy hands and shaky eyes to have a drinking problem you know, those are just the visible signs of someone with a serious problem.

Just as an aside, I get suspicious whenever people say things like 'studies show' or 'statistics indicate'. Although I agree with the general sentiment Lare (is that a name) is conveying. There have been some attempts to link cannabis with depression and psychosis, but I think the point here is that cannabis can in some cases aggravate an existing condition. It depends on the individual. Anyway if you experience those effects, simply stop.

Why would you expect anything from movies that are spinoffs of toys ?

Someone in the cast is filming using a hand held camera type horror flicks are so lame.

Some people are genetically predisposed to substance abuse, and in the other end of the scale we have people who don't feel much in the way of withdrawal symptoms, be they physical or psychological. Cannabis is probably the easiest of them all to kick. Smoking is bad for your health, cigarettes or joints both, but that's not what we are discussing.

It's possible to abuse cannabis like everything else. If you need a joint to fall asleep and one to steady yourself in the morning that's a definite warning sign. Those are the people walking around in a perpetual zombie state wearing dirty clothes, not taking proper care of themselves. There are however, more moderate and functional users than you could possibly imagine. I'd say more than half the people I know. It probably varies a lot geographically though.

So Fallout 3
I thought 300 was bad in a good way, I mean it had stunning visuals and painfully bad acting. It also has tanned homo erotic Greeks edging suspiciously towards fascism without offering anything in the way of an excuse. I mean that's not a good thing, but it's an achievement, of sorts. Waterworld has the same 'un-ashamedness' about it's general pitiful lousiness as a movie which is what makes it a candidate for kitsch and bad-good. Just imho of course.

new hard drive
I am seriously considering the 64 mb version of this http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1005/1/ It's about 20-30% cheaper than the competition, although not as fast. Should be a noticeable improvement in load times and boot times though, for the first time in, well more or less ever.

I still have an old pair of hemp pants, the fibers are so tough you can weave it into fabric. Too much of anything is a bad idea, and we are already dealing with the effects of alcohol abuse, like Hurlshot said, disfunctional families, drunk drivers etc. But whats to be done about that, bringing back prohibition ?. If we didn't use so many resources policing drugs we could more effectively do something about those secondary effects. As it is we are presenting an easy avenue for people to make money illegally which we do our best to band aid with policing. Making most drugs legal is the better structural choice, but the public does not agree, certainly not those who typically vote. - New Mechwarrior
