      @Kate Simpson huh???
      Sorry. What I meant to say is, NO.
      I’m really sorry anybody put their hands on you. That’s fucking awful. But I guarantee you that it had nothing to do with the effects of cannabis. The original comment is referring to the fact that alcohol is actually a violence inducing drug. Cannabis is not. If your husband used to beat you anytime he would get his hands on some cannabis then that was a problem with HIM and it had nothing to do with the effects of the drug. I hope you’re doing ok now and only hope the best for you. I take abuse very seriously but I promise that the cannabis was not the reason he got violent. I do not want to seem harsh to you but I also firmly believe that spreading misinformation about cannabis is harmful. Take care.

      Is that fair? The fact that the law they violated has been struck down doesn't change the fact that they transgressed. Law is a contract. Amendment of that contract doesn't waive your liability for a past breach of contract. In a real sense, they weren't just punished for having or selling marijuana. They were punished for the act of breaking the law.

I then asked my friend why is he sneaking around his own house to smoke a joint? He replied "My mom hates potheads"

It’s sad, but he said getting high is the few times were he feels he can be at peace with himself.

    Can I apply living in the UK on maybe special circumstances?? I am mentally and physically ill, I have nerve root damage due to disc prolapse' in my lower back and it looks like I may be suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (mentally) Due to major anxiety issues I first tried cannabis when I was 15 and it made me panic and that panic lasted so as my mental health got more tender I learned that alcohol was what I needed to "Man Up" and be molded into another and as I grew older I found the hangovers far yo hard to embrace, to the point I would have to drink more and everyday for at least for days until the anxiety wore off, then when my back started playing up I found myself at the doctors being diagnosed with depression so I started being heavily medicated from prescription drugs Tramadol, Pregabalin, Duluxotine, Sertraline, Mirtazapine and Omeprizal, this led my to stop drinking, cold turkey style, it was tough, but I was in far to much pain to care, over the years I have become more confused and I believe sphychsis maybe setting in and I hade started to realise all the Darkness that has and does happen to me, bur also all of the wrong things I do, which to others. Last summer to help with my Chronic mental pain I started using cannabis as a way to cope (and as a last resort to save my relationship with my wonderful wife to be) the first couple of times I was 15 and panicking until tge cannabis helped me realise another perception, a place where the voices stop, a place when my tense and stressed body starts to actually relaxe, but it's costly and illegal in the UK, but all those other drugs the NHS prescribe me are extremely costly and deadly, but that's ok?!!! Why can't they allow me 1 maybe 2 plants a year so I can use it as a medicine and would cost the NHS hardly anything in comparison, would I qualify??
