Of Taff, how I feel for you - not in the scheme of things to see your child die - my heart goes out to you, really it does

NO, and thats from personal experiance.
To all parents who are going through the misery, if you need to show "tough Love" to get your kids clean, do it, I did and mine got clean for 2 and a half years, it was great to have my girl back!then she relapsed and Died , SO MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS "ROCK BOTTOM" IS NOT 6FOOT UNDER!!!!!

Nope, not at all!

Anyone needing drugs for genuine medication should see a Dr. all the others should treated for the addiction and get rid of all these street drugs and the cretins that push the rubbish.

Haven't read past pg 1, but Id say NOOO, they shouldnt. Druggies high on the stuff cause God know what problems, drugs can also cause psychosis, other mental health problems, and overdose. Why make it legal? If I find any of my 3 kids taking drugs I'll lock them in their bedroom til they've gone cold turkey.

Well said Kay.
I have a friend who works in a chemist, and has to take so much sh.t off them when they go in for their methadone.
I would put them all on an island with their dealers, and let all kill each other for a fix.

DEFINITELY NOT WHY SHOULD THESE LAYABOUTS GET THEIR DRUG ON THE NHS, OR FREE, WHEN PEOPLE WITH LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MEDICATION.

SORRY IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE, BUT AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART.

No to drugs but then I drink alcohol and coffee both of which contain powerful stimulants / addictive properties...so who am I to judge?

Coming a bit late, but I second what Maddie said on page two. I had a friend at college who was very bright, got fantastic GCSEs and AS Levels, then round his eighteenth birthday he got into smoking dope and whatever motivation he had seemed to disappear.

He got into this permanent attitude of "it'll wait till tomorrow", skipped a lot of college (and one of his alloted Art A Level exam sessions) and somehow still got better exam results than I did. He started further education college and dropped out after a week (smoking joints during breaktimes) and then got into university and dropped out.

I don't know what happened to him, but smoking that stuff seemed to drain away any motivation he ever had, which was a shame because on paper his exam results were amazing. And he also experimented with ecstacy and cocaine at some point.

Kay,

It is your problem. You pay extra in the shops to counter losses through shoplifting, you pay a higher percentage for policing through your council tax. You pay more (or get less) for NHS services because resources are spent on users. Your local authority will spend more on social problems than community projects for all I could go on....

trouble is so many people are reliant on them now, and if they banned them alltogether they would be in a right mess, dont know really dont see anything wrong in cannabis supposed to help MS sufferers.
