Mr. Alistair, just checked and cannabis can cause paranoia, addiction, and contribute to respiratory disease [Biological Psychology: An Introduction to Behavioral[sp] and Cognitive Neuroscience, by Rosenzweig et al].
Blasted sciatica.

It's an interesting chain of events. Attitudes towards Tobacco and Alcohol are hardening on public health grounds, yet at the same time attitudes towards drugs currently illegal are softening.
At some point, they have to meet in the middle.
Mr. Gate, I'm too pure and virtuous to comment on means of drug use beyond what I've read in biopsychological textbooks.
Cannabis should be legal, regulated and taxed. I'd be in favour of legalising it but banning smoking it in public places including parks (similar to Colorado). If people want to toke in their back gardens - fill yer Birkenstocks.
And I'm in contact with the descendants of a great uncle who clearly, although we're still working on the details, left England 'under a cloud'!
I saw them score 444 two years ago.
They’d have got more as the Pakistanis pulled it back in the last few overs.

That is not the same as saying that the sort of skunk which can cause serious problems should be legally freely available to all and sundry.

Heaven help us when this generation get to 40 and figure out they wasted their youth on twitter instead of getting blasted and laid.
Beware of extrapolation from small datasets.
I don’t think he cares a jot what May thinks of that, but, he does need to be careful not to overplay his hand.
For the record I wouldn’t support it. It is something that would lead to all sorts of unintended consequences.

"Tax records show that alcohol sales have continued to grow in Colorado despite the rapid rise of recreational marijuana. Even as tax revenues from marijuana nearly tripled between June 2014 through May 2015, alcohol sales continued to steadily increase as well, with alcohol excise taxes rising 2.1%, the same increase as the year prior."

Don’t you dare say anything on how well England and YJB are doing.
I suspect at the alcohol per person in changing very small, but I don't know.
Not much of a contest, though.
Not sure they have white lightning though.
800 runs in the day?
Why was this a non ranking snooker event ?
Hales is slacking.
But I do think that Javid at No 10 and Gove at 11, (or the other way round) could be good for the country.
Whenever I see the words: "traitor", "xenophobe", "Remoaner", "liar", or similar (from either side), I assume the comment is content-free and it's just a toddler-tantrum and skip to the next one.
If the intent is to persuade others or change opinions, it truly is an utter failure. If it's just to pleasure oneself and/or signal what a reliable chap(ess) someone is to others on "their side", I suppose it's effective, but it doesn't half swamp the meaningful signal with pointless noise.
One of the most effective ministers in the last 30 years.
Slightly more freedom for people to enjoy themselves.
Slightly less people going to prison/thought the courts.
slightly more tax raised.
slightly better relations between the police and some parts of the community.
slightly more legitimated jobs.
slightly more people able to get treatment for medical conditions
slight incentive to people to more to the area.
This will not change the would, but it will be slightly better as a result.
Will have to take it on Sunday.

The quality of debate on here would be greatly improved if word such as these could be blocked, just as MPs are not allowed to accuse each other of lying.
