Tobacco is not risk free
Crossing the road is not risk free

Cannabis is poison in any quantity. Same goes for tobacco.

This is entirely old news and even if I had not known this beforehand I would still say big deal.
Alcohol is far more dangerous and yet it is a popular institution which will never be banned. In the words of the Streets, government spending on secondary education pales into insignificance when compared to the money the NHS spends on patching up lary drunk people at the weekend.
Cannibis is a drug it does bad things to you. So do pollution, stress, accidents etc. Cannibis at least is enjoyable in the majority. Drugs are responsible for some of the greatest leaps in, music, art, literature and goodwill to men.
Now where did I put my Rizla.....

What if you're an alcoholic? Then it can be completely devastating.
If you're going to allow certain poisons, why disallow others?

Sure why not ? One lump of rat-poison a day, keeps the doctor away ...... 😛

Originally posted by ivanhoeI have done so many times and I can safely say that I play just as well under the effects as I do sober. However, I am not a very good chess player anyhow, obviously if I was really serious about it I would probably not smoke at all.

I don't see your point either way, I smoke for pleasure, I play for pleasure.

You start seeing mad patterns, and attacking sequences, with loads of different refutations.
When I'm pissed, I just think 'I'm ard as nails, and this pawn move here is absolutely brilliant. No doubt'
You should try it Ivan.
[EDIT] That 500% quoted above is comparing drunken and stoned chess. Not drunken/stoned versus sober.

An alcoholic shouldn't drink at all.

If consumption of Mary Jane is so bad, why did the Blessed Lord God our Saviour, place it absolutely everywhere? And why did he create it to be a plant which can grow in any type of weather/soil conditions? Are you saying that us mere humans, including yourself, know better than the Blessed Lord God our Saviour?
Did he do it as a test? Is it like the forbidden fruit?
[EDIT] See, this post is proof of the effects of alcohol. I'm aggressive and confrontational. I'm sure if I was after a few spliffs rather than beers, I'd probably just say 'whatever? Peace.'
