a) only if you abuse it and b) not if you make it legal or buy locally grown
MoyestWithExcitement
A) Only if you’re susceptible already just like alcohol brings on depression and other mental health problems in many.
Anomanomanom
Expect it doesn’t cause that at all.
MoyestWithExcitement
It does, yeah.
Anomanomanom
No it does not. I know 5 serious long time users and not one has a problem. And one of those is the most nervous paranoid man iv ever met. He was like that years before smoking, yet when smoking he’s very very chilled out.
Harry Molloy
It still does for some people and is scientifically proven.
Plus a lot of people have anecdotal evidence, myself included.

oh well then
thanks for sharing the findings of your peer-reviewed study anomanom

100% of the posters called Anomanomanom spout nonsense.
There’s my anectdotal evidence to back yours up.

Anomanomanom
And I accept that.
MoyestWithExcitement
And ya, b) is a pretty stupid argument against legalisation.
Jimmy Ireland
Where do you think the supply of legal cannabis will suddenly come from? Only the dealers will change, not the suppliers.
MoyestWithExcitement
Do you have any idea what cannabis actually is? You realise it’s not made in makeshift labs by failed chemists, right?

Farms, I would imagine.

It would be possible, and perhaps even desirable, for everyone who wants some to grow their own. Better still, flipping hemp, as close to a pure miracle of a plant as there exists in the world, would become a viable commercial proposition. Never mind pot, it’s hemp I want to see legalised.
rotide
like the way everyone brews their own beer when they want a pint?
Jimmy Ireland has a point. If cannabis was to be legalised here to the extent that it was for sale (let say) in pubs or cafes, It might not be the obvious thing to assume that it would be just grown in wicklow or whereever. Perfectly feasible to imagine it imported from abroad.

What? All recreational drugs are going to be forever in demand. Drug prohibition is moronic. Governments are handing trillions to criminals every year. Every drug should be legalised and licensed and the profits should used to treat the symptoms of drug addiction. When you consider the alternative, that being an totally unregulated and dangerous marketplace that is a constant source of misery and the largest cause of criminality worldwide there is simply no good reason not to, and in terms of production, I mean, you do realise that heroine is a brand name and has been simply rebranded to diamorphine yea?
Nigel
rotide – actually, I would expect there to be heavy duties to discourage home production, but I think there might be enough people around with, er, hands-on experience to kick-start a Guaranteed Irish product.
Harry Molloy
Reduces toe nail fungus
Clears ears
Kills warts
Increases sperm count
Reduces female nipple hair
Brother Barnabas
it does NOT reduce female nipple hair
I suspect the contrary, actually (but, no, I do not have scientific evidence)
Well that supports cannabinoid use in treatment in SOME cases but can be damaging in other cases, which I suppose is the while point of the campaign to legalise it for medicinal use.
“In the light of these results, the use of cannabinoids in cancer therapy has to be reconsidered, because relatively high concentrations of THC induce apoptosis in cancer cells, whereas nanomolar concentrations enhance tumor cell proliferation and may, therefore, accelerate cancer progression in patients.”
Good find Pedeyw.

good for associated pain at least .
rotide
The only thing more annoying than the fact cannabis is illegal is the pro-legalisation groups guff

You sir are 100% predictable

Medicinal. Tablet form so?
Relax lads, Ireland is not going to make smoking some green legal. Never. Ever. Ever.
But keep going. It keeps ye busy.
MoyestWithExcitement
It will, yeah. Keep ‘er lit, lads.
Anomanomanom
Well thats completely wrong. Check the history of it became illegal, money was the reason. As soon as a big “respectable” company decides to get in on it the legislation will happen as quickly as certain people can open brown envelops.
Anomanomanom
My spelling is atrocious. New phone and the dictionary keeps changing words. Anyone want a job proof reading.

I would switch off auto-correct.
Most programmes will still highlight misspellings so you can correct them yourself.

as soon as our US overlords give it the national OK we will be permitted to follow suit.

Cut all that c****p, controled cannabis (growth and sell) is important for a lot of people. MS, chronic pain sufferers, Parkinson’s sufferers, migrain sufferers, terminal cancer, etc who have to take severe medication treatment that cost the country a fortune, keep them off work, and keep them on the verge of society. There are very serious evidence that medical cannabis is the best solution for us. It has a production cost and controle cost way below the usual treatments given to these kind of illness. So all these jokes that have read above makes me sick as in my case, long term chronic pain suferer who life has been put in brackets by regular pain medications and lack of open minded people in charge and in the HSE, medical cannabis is THE solution to get my life back and be able to contribute to society again. CQFD

It’s not a panacea
it’s a very naughty high.
That’s very funny.
bravo
No, but big pharma don’t want ya near it all the same… one wonders why….
because they love us?
Also, it works as a right winger repellent and as an over-sensitive lefties trigger mechanism…. just sayin’
It never repelled THIS right-winger. Oooh yeah *spins War’s The Cisco Kid*
I absolutely support legalisation but I’d like to see medical sources that back up that tumor growth claim.
Dubious:
