That's just what I think.

In general people should obey the law, however large numbers of people simply don't believe that smoking pot is wrong.

Is it illegal in the UK?

It is indeed matey. They've been monkeying around with the law on it's classification recently, but it remains illegal without prescription (Class 'C' if you're wondering) as far as I know. Might have been reclassified as Class 'B' (you can get nicked for posession without being compulsory prosecuted).

Marijuana itself does have many medical benefits of course, but smoking Green or Resin has other hazards. The bits that work on the pain centres in the brain bugger about with other parts you don't really want buggered about with. I believe the reclassification was done to permit licensed growing for the express reason of medical research (like isolating the good, ditching the bad)

Kinda sorta. It's less legal than in Hlland.

In the UK drugs are classed as A, B and C.

Cannabis used to be a B, then the Government downgraded it to C, which meant that police could more or less turn a blind eye if you had only enough for personal use. They would probably give you a caution, confiscate the stash and go off to chase some burglars.

Last year the Government did a consultation about whether to reclassify pot as B, and the overwhelming response from the scientists and police, etc, was to keep it at C. So they changed it to B again.

There's no evidence any of this has made any difference to the way people use pot in real life.

Fire Effect, if you're going to jump onto a single comment without reading further clarification or discussion, don't expect a syrsily syrsis response.

If you not gonna even get my name correct you sir can put out that doobie.

Now now boys.

As opposed to having vomit dripping down your chin? Any intoxicant produces problem in the course of physical activity when you use too much of it. Saying weed ruins sex, while other drugs enhance it is just utter stupidity; especially given the subjective nature of the experience.

Tell me dogma, when did I ever say other drugs enhanced sex? Is it just me or are 90% of your posts just negative contradiction?

Imo alcohol and fags are just as bad if not worse in this area; just saying. Well, cigs don't really affect sex but for many MJ users it amplifies the senses and takes sex to another level.

Haha yea if you're stoned out of your mind it will definitely impair things but at that point you're on the verge of passing out anyway! Having sex while high is grand though

It's an experience, I'll give you that. All be it a one sided experience, in a very two sided activity.

I once got high and masturbated. Fell asleep halfway through, then woke up and finished. True story. I don't miss getting high, but I do have a bag full of ice-breaking stories from my stoner days.

I smoke pretty frequently. I usually am stoned when I draw or paint. the enhanced perception of color is nifty and I find I can work longer without getting bored. Of course the down side of that is the eight hour drawing sessions which are hell on my wrist.
