Alien Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 You seem to know an awful lot about drugs, interesting: By implication you mean what? What a silly post, a bread knife dangerous in the wrong hands, so many silly assumptions, you know nothing about the type of shooting I've done safely for 49 years up to and including international and inter service level. What a sad plonker who only sees a firearm as a means of killing animals.. Even for you this is quite pathetic considering you keep highlighting every other post with 'stay on topic', because you're cornered? at risk of going off topic, that's what firearms were invented for. You only see cannabis as a negative factor. the irony of it is making me despair. He has that effect. Alcohol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage "Alcohol is a psychoactive drug that has a depressant effect. A high blood alcohol content is usually considered to be legal drunkenness because it reduces attention and slows reaction speed. Alcohol can be addictive, and the state of addiction to alcohol is known as alcoholism". Drug: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/drug It would be quite stupid for the dictionary to describe "Drug" as alcohol because it would also have to include thousands of other drugs in its description. Drugs are defined by the effect they have on the system, not by their name, unless you are discussing a specific drug. I think bassman hopes that there is a dictionary definition of 'alcoholdrug'. Which there isn't unless you make the word up, which would be pointless considering Drug and Alcohol are intrinsically related and self explanatory. So enjoy your shandy bassy? then let others enjoy their choice. Try not to bring the subject up again because you really do get a whuppin. Surely all the stuff you come out with must be the over use of some sort of substance as I'm sure a couple of glasses of shandy can't be the culprit.

*_ash_* Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've been reading this thread, and I'm amazed that it has reached 16 pages, after this was written in the opening post... It is essential that the myth of Cannabis being 100% safe is exploded You've done a good job keeping it up this long bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyRocks Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 What a silly post, a bread knife dangerous in the wrong hands, so many silly assumptions, you know nothing about the type of shooting I've done safely for 49 years up to and including international and inter service level. What a sad plonker who only sees a firearm as a means of killing animals.. You know nothing about the cannabis that's been smoked by people for thousands of years, the very fact you use the term "sad plonker" indicates just what type of person you are! Cannabis as with just about everything in life (including guns) is fine in moderation which obviously you have no knowledge of. Too much of anything is bad for you generally or if its used by the wrong kind of person but even then cannabis is relatively safe, especially when compared to other DRUGS such as alcohol which can be highly addictive. Ps you actually make me laugh. Somebody posts several examples of alcohol being referred to as a DRUG as you requested yet you just dismiss it as "missuse" of the word!? Oh dear. I can't think of anyone who could do with smoking a bit of weed more than you....probably not before you go to "shooting club" though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimani Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 So they're missusing the word that doesn't make it right. all they're doing is the old two wrongs make a right excuse. the royal college of psychiatrists are using it wrong. local health authorities, with their consultants and experts don't know what they're talking about? ok, let's try this another way. dictionaries say this about 'drugs'= http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Drug http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/drug http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/drug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/drug.html list does on with the same basic theme ie-Natural or synthetic substance which (when taken into a living body) affects its functioning or structure... or 'Habit forming stimulant or narcotic substance (such as alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, or a derivative of cocoa or poppy) which produces a state of arousal, contentment, or euphoria. Continued or excessive use (called drug abuse or substance abuse) of such substances causes addiction or dependence. Thereafter any attempt to discontinue their use results in specific reactions (called withdrawal symptoms) such as sweating, vomiting, and tremors which cease when the use is resumed. Also called illegal drug where its production and/or use is prohibited.' does this not apply to alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it does - except for the OP who would continue to pretend otherwise even if a posse of top scientists and dictionary compilers were to tattoo 'alcohol is a drug' on his forehead. Why? Because he has a false position to maintain and he's scared of the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magilla Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I try to but from way back when Magilla started the usual ("Let's hijack the thread this guys too near the truth for comfort") game that those with an agenda play the usual hijacking game and threads usualy get closed. Utter nonsense, as usual. I've already stated exactly why it's a good idea to evaluate risk proportionally, hence the comparison with the drug you love so much, alcohol. ( a more dangerous drug, ironically ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 ‘Cannabis Raises Psychosis Risk' Cannabis & Psychosis is well established, until now it has been unclear whether Cannabis triggers the disorder. This research strongly suggests that the use of Cannabis comes 1st rather than taking it for the symptoms. Using Cannabis as a teenager or a young adult increases the risk of psychosis, a report suggests. The study is published in the 'British Medical Journal' involving 1900 people over a 10yr period. Although the link between Cannabis & Psychosis is well-established until now it had been unclear whether Cannabis triggers the disorder. This report strongly suggests that Cannabis use comes 1st, rather than people taking it for the symptoms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
