I think this ad might have the reverse effect than the intended one.

The only time drugs have ever messed with my mental state was not on weed but on coke, speed or valium.

I think it's the government trying to justify reclassifying cannabis.

Exactly, Labour cant really be seen to loose anymore face. I dont think you'll be seeing it reclassified anytime soon back to C.......welcome to a new era.....unfortantly.

I more or less said those exact words to my buddy the other night ... The sad thing is tho that we are right boner. lol.

Not that it will make a difference, I can safely say that nobody I know that tokes is gonna stop doing it because its been reclassified. would you? ... didn't think so.

Much Love. X

Na i wouldnt stop toking, but it makes me think twice about growing and attending legalise cannabis events. If i get busted i will most likely loose my job, if the old bill are taking a harder line with it now its class b, i cant take the risk of being at an event and being busted.

I never thought of it that way, i suppose the fear of what would happen when you get caught is a bit higher but when you dealing with an illegal drug thats expected anyways. class C or B it's still illegal.

Your right enough man but with class c it was more likely to result in fuck all except them nicking your stash, now its class b its more likely that if you get an officar with a issue finding your stash it will result in more than a slap on the wrist. I cant really take that risk.

This is one of the only benefits the authorities achieve by continuing their support of prohibition.

There must be tens of thousand of well-educated people who might like to have more of a say in how their country is run, but because of the fear of losing their livelihoods over their drug habits, will decide not to 'make a nuisance' of themselves.

This power over a fairly high proportion of the populous goes a long way in the eyes of the authorities to maintain public order.

It sucks.
