"But enhances the mood you're in so you may well feel worse)"

Mushrooms or acid maybe, but not weed. Set and setting have little to do with the high you'll feel.

"One 20mg joint has the same effect as being just over the legal alcohol-driving limit."

That statement right there is total bullshit. It'll depend on the person.

"Panic attacks and paranoia can occur immediately after a joint."

...in a very very small percentage of people. In my whole life, i've encountered only one person who had a panic attack after a joint.

"Concentration, learning and memory are all badly affected. School grades fall, some students miss out on university places. A cannabis personality develops. Users become inflexible, can't plan their days properly, can't take criticism and struggle to express themselves. They feel lonely, miserable and misunderstood. Apathy, amotivation and dropping out are all common."

Again, your results may vary wildly.

"Physical addiction occurs."

I've been smoking joints for many years. Running out of weed is inevitable, and it's never resulted in any ill effects for me (except disappointment if it's Friday night).

"Schizophrenia is triggered or worsened by its use"

Could be true. This exact scenario happened to a friend of mine.

"Cannabis contains more cancer-causing substances than tobacco"

Wouldn't surprise me.

"Rare head and neck cancers are now being found in young pot smokers. "

First i've heard of it.

"The immune system is damaged."

I've seen shit that would lead me to believe this.

"Sperm production is decreased. Infertility and even impotence have been reported."

I had no trouble having kids. Not enough trouble, if you ask me. I WISH this one was true.

"Many pro-legalisers are users, or their children are."

Duh.

"That's fine as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else. But stoned drivers can and do kill other people. Addicts and the mentally-ill need treatment at the taxpayers expense, stoned workers are inefficient and unproductive. And passive smoking does occur."

One word - alcohol.

"Tobacco, alcohol and cannabis can all act as gateway drugs."

Bullshit. I know lots of weed smokers. None of them drop acid, hit up heroine or coke, etc.

"Holland turned a blind eye to cannabis in 1987 and is now the crime capital of Europe."

Can any Dutch SW users back this up?

everything on that page was bullshit

I laughed hysterically when I read that, whilst smoking a joint, how ironic.

I'm pretty sure that my slight depression and body aches went away when I was smoking.

And I have driven a car with no problems when I smoked a joint or two, but when I drank alcohol, I couldn't even park in a straight line... lol

plus, weed doesn't have tar in it, it's a plant. haha, unless you're mixing it with tobacco. wtf and oh yea, it contains only plant particles, and thc, no other god damn chemicals, unless someone is putting chems on it...

Why do people insist on lying so much about everything good.

"Holland turned a blind eye to cannabis in 1987 and is now the crime capital of Europe."

Just check here:
http://www.nationmaster.com/cat/cri-crime

There are numerous European countries above the Netherlands on every type of crime I checked. Of course the US is above them on every single one also.

I've never seen an marijuana website that was so full of pure shit. Whoever wrote it should be beaten severely. Add that to your crime statistics bitch!

It's people like this who us a bad name.

Wow just fucking wow, i have never in my life read anything so full of blatent lies as i have on that site.

BTW did you lot know that cannabis has been scientifically proven in several impartial studies to contain natural antibiotics. So being a sick note because you smoke weed is pretty much bullshit, seriously last time i went to the doctor was in 1998, in the last decade the worse thing i've had wrong with me was a bit of a cold that lasted a couple of days.

And as for this articales claim that the plants contain between 9 & 27 % pure THC (grown in the UK). I say thats bullshit gauranted 100% bullshit, just through the drying and curing process you can lose close to 50% of the cannaboids on a plant. And then you've got to store the shit and the longer its stored the more cannaboids you lose (seriously its a bitch storing weed).
