 Posted: 11:06 - 10 Dec 2012 Post subject: more BS from MP's who havn't a clue what there talking about |
 |
|
as yet another Government report says that the UK drugs laws need changing
the same old BS is being used to counter this report
| Quote: | Although overall cannabis consumption is down, the strength of cannabis has gone up dramatically, about six or seven times stronger than it was a generation ago, it is the equivalent of people going from drinking a pint of beer to drinking a pint of neat vodka," he said. |
well the European drug monitoring board disagree with them
| Quote: | The European Monitoring Centre For Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), in their July 2004 report titled "An Overview of Cannabis Potency in Europe" noted the following:
"The available data do not show any long-term marked upward trend in the potency of herbal cannabis or cannabis resin imported into Europe.
The effective potency in nearly all countries has remained quite stable for many years at around 6-8%. The only exception has been the Netherlands where, by 2001-2002, it had reached 16%.
In the United Kingdom, the amount of herbal cannabis or cannabis resin in cannabis cigarettes has shown no trend in the last twenty years.
Statements in the popular media that the potency of cannabis has increased by ten times or more in recent decades are not supported by the limited data that are available from either the USA or Europe. The greatest long-term changes in potency appear to have occurred in the USA. It should be noted here that before 1980 herbal cannabis potency in the USA was very low by European standards.
The THC content of herbal cannabis [in the USA] increased from around 1% before 1980 to around 4% in 1997...
[I]t must be assumed that the quality of herbal cannabis consumed in the USA more than twenty years ago was unusually poor, but that in recent years it has risen to levels typical of Europe. So even the modest increase found by ElSohly et al. (2000) may be less significant than it seems.
The conclusion of this report is that there have been modest changes in THC levels that are largely confined to the relatively recent appearance on the market of intensively cultivated domestically produced cannabis. Cannabis of this type is typically more potent, although it is also clear that the THC content of cannabis products in general is extremely variable and that there have always been some samples that have had a high potency." |

Indeed, the country is simply over-run by stoners slithering around in pools of smashed glass, vomit and blood, screaming "Fuggers gunna killyall arrrr yr mah beshtmates".

It is just pandering to populist vote... same as the gay marriage statement His Davidness made meanwhile deflecting from his impotence in the EU. ____________________ 22PlusY

They'll never legalise it because they know it makes people think a bit deeper about certain things and question their authority. They prefer the plebs to remain sheep-like and subservient.
While on the subject of MPs talking shite, I heard on the radio today the Minister for Housing advising people not to give cash to the homeless anymore - just before Xmas and when the numbers of homeless is shooting up due to the "culling" of thousands of mentaly ill people on benefits too Absolutely fucking outrageous  ____________________ Space Is Deep |

Had to laugh at Cameron saying the war on drugs is working
Never has, never will, there's too much money to be made supplying and too many people creating demand, the only way to limit that is to legalise and licence businesses to sell - and actually earn some tax dollar in the process. |
