I discussed alcohol and cannabis with my local MP today. He was saying that the problem lay more with alcohol than any drug, and he runs a Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre (A converted house of 16 beds for people to recover in).
I run video website
YouTube - russellwyllie's Channel , which I posted a video entitled 'Effects of Alcohol and Drugs in Britain' , which is worth seeing for the heated brawls outside pubs.
Cannabis is safer in pinch-sized amounts, not fat joints which can knock out a horse. It boils down to sensible smoking, like sensible drinking. Unfortunately, Labour Government overlooks the fact that alcohol is far more deadly and causes serious damage to the body, mind and general quality of life. Alcohol causes the majoity of road accidents, violent attacks and brawls.
Unlike cannabis, alcohol is legal and available in thousands of shops and pubs at all hours, which brings in taxes for the greedy Labour party. Cannabis is actually not so easy to get as people think- you can't walk into a shop and get it, - overseas countries cannot legally export it to the U.K. like alcohol, and the strength of cannabis varies so much. People can get ripped off buying an ounce of pot, to find half is stem and leaf, not the real buddy bits. Imagine buying a bottle of whiskey, to find it was half tea mixed with whiskey!
Alcohol is more expensive, more addictive, more damaging and more prevalent, yet 24 hour drinking was introduced for the Labour ploy to rake in the taxes. Anti social behaviour has risen with the 24 hour drinking, and police arrests and fines have increased with the rise of alcohol-fueled violence.
Labour have a ploy to kill off young people and rake in taxes in one foul swoop.
Cigarettes do more damage than cannabis, because a smoker often has 10 to 20 fags a day on average.Cigarettes contain added chemicals like arsenic and cyanide,producing massive headspins and make you often feel sick.
Labour has only reclassified cannabis for Police to catch and fine people- that is just another tax .Labour have their greedy hands in our pockets yet again... Maybe it's to pay for the double amount to be spent on the Iraq War this year???
