Daily Mail headline......

[the man, the legend]

Honestly, I didn't realise how evil weed was till I stopped smoking it about 6 months ago because it was really affecting my state of mind. Before that, I was a card carrying member of the legalize it brigade. My opinion has totally changed now.

People say it's not addictive. maybe not physically, but it's certainly psychologically addictive and I speak from experience.

I definitely think that the 'good weed' ie skunk, white widow etc. should be put up to class A now while the rubbish like soap bar should be probably class B

As I said now read carefully it's fuck all to do with being black!

what do you think putting the classification up to A would achieve? I doubt it would have any effect on usage, just clog up the courts and prisons

people who use drugs don't really give a toss what classification they are, a lot of people who smoke are likely to have tried LSD, ecstasy and mushrooms - all class A, yet would shy away from heroin
and bizarrely enough ketamine is class C, the drug classification laws are a joke

"I said it was a nasty paper, not a nasty paper for nasty people."

Agreed. But whether you said it or not that was the implication.

But anyhow, just to lay this episode to rest, maybe you'd care to take this opportunity to clarify a few points and say what fine upstanding citizens Mail readers are, and furthermore endorse their status as the moral equals of any and every Guardian or Independent reader throughout the land?

Sir, the floor is yours?

You're obviously an idiot and this will be my last post on this.

You're ranting about the Daily Mail stating its down to their ignorance blah blah blah about other cultures.

I've noticed you've now changed Black to Culture but that is irrelevant.

The story on drugs has NOTHING to do with 'culture', color, race or any other terminology you next choose to use.

You, as I've said, are talking complete and utter bollocks!

If they wanted to do a story on drugs and relate it to race they would go for something like Rageh Omar has on Heroin being supplied by Asians.

Reply if you want but don't expect me to again.

A well made and valid point diplodocus.

But if it was a class A, it might put off a few of the smaller time dealers because of tougher penalties.

[diplodocus]

possibly, but then all that would do is make people who just wanted to buy dope come into more contact with the class A dealers

from my experience the people who sold dope didn't sell heroin, making dope class A might change that which would be a much more worrying development
