Middle-aged professional women doing drugs on the weekend

Don't be so stupid
Weed is illegal in the UK.
I'm a former amphetamine user of 20 years,it was easy to obtain didn't make it legal.

You keep reminding me you were talking to another poster. I don’t care. Regardless of how many peer reviewed articles you have read, It’s pointless comparing 1 joint to 1 glass of wine. You may as well compare 1 bottle of wine to 1 or 2 puffs of a spliff. It’s all relative.

Cannabis is legal in the UK and easy to obtain.

The problems that you describe are due to the fact that cocaine use is prohibited.

Well prohibition isn't going anywhere in the UK.
Doesn't alter the fact a little girl was murdered over the heads of cannabis and money.

I never said you weren't entitled to challenge my posts.

I haven't been aggressive or assumed I'm the only one with no experience? Where have I been aggressive. You've been quite aggressive if anything on this thread a lot of your comments are just you trying to guilt trip middle aged woman who enjoy the occasion line of coke because "young boys being exploited" all I've said is most of those "young boys" know exactly what they're doing that's why the age of criminal responsibility is 10 and half of them would attack you for looking at them.

I mean of course you're right buying drugs does encourage the drug trade but if you think bitching about how middle aged professional woman should refrain from enjoying the occasional line of a week end is going to make up for all the actual addicts buying heroin multiple times a day then idk what to say.

Of course there's fucked up shit going on in the world because of the drug trade but you're going to have a hard time convincing me to feel sorry for teenage boys doing "county lines" when I became a mother at 15, most of those kids know exactly what they're doing and aren't all cute and innocent just my opinion which you keep wanting to shout down 🤷🏻‍♀️

it is a forum and I am entitled to challenge your posts regardless of who they are aimed at.

I read a book called Kilo,it follows the process from leaf to powder and it's journey before exportation.
It destroys eco structure,destroys villages,murder, torture, prostitution.
It's not a victimless process.

I have not provided you with a convincing argument? Read my posts. I haven't provided you with data or extensive training, either.
For the 4th time - I was challenging a poster. Not giving you my doctoral thesis.
I'm sure that you are capable enough to consult evidenced and peer reviewed articles., as I have.

That's not an argument against cannabis, that's an argument against prohibition of cannabis!

People growing their own small amounts for personal use doesn’t harm anyone. Plus it’s legal in many countries now. This makes your argument fall flat.

Alcohol is very harmful, the ratio of toxicity to in toxicity is particularly bad.
However trying to ban it would be fruitless, it's occurs spontaneously in nature, anyone can make it for themselves!
Cannabis is also pretty easy to grow, ditto opium poppies I expect, although I've not tried them but I do remember a friend telling me that she had smoked opium from an opium poppy.

@Mielikki and @Deedeesharpwhatkindoflady
Very good points.

I don’t know where you received your training but it certainly hasn’t provided you with convincing arguments. I have researched thanks. Look how many cannabis related deaths are there every year in the uk compared to alcohol related ones for example

The cannabis is less harmful argument falls flat when considering innocent people have been caught up in gang warfare and been murdered.Liverpool shootings spring to mind.
Weed dealing in this country is big business not some stoner selling a bit to supplement his own puff habit.

Maybe compare the supply chains of prosecco and cocaine before deciding which is more harmful.

I think you misunderstand.
I have explained that I was challenging a previous poster. I have had to have training and inform myself because of my line of work.
Don't believe it. Fine. Do your own research.

You haven’t provided any evidence that 1 spliff is more harmful than 1 glass of wine. And elaborated on the type of harm you are referring to

I think you misunderstand: the BBC article is not the sum of my evidence.
That is all.
Please don't get personal. I haven't with you.
Thank You.

A bbc article ? Sorry but you sound ridiculous. There are plenty of academic articles about how harmful alcohol is in comparison to cannabis. You sound like you have no knowledge of cannabis at all actually.

I live somewhere where cannabis is legal and lots of the mums I know do partake. I brought my friend fancy edibles the other day instead of a bottle of wine!

I don't rely on googling articles.
I rely on the training I've received and the well researched and peer reviewed articles which I have read.

@KatyaKabanova there are plenty of articles that cannabis is less harmful than alcohol when you google it. I don’t even use cannabis myself, I don’t like it. I do think alcohol is a lot more harmful in most ways though. That’s why I’m challenging your “a spliff is more harmful than a glass of wine” comment. It’s just vague.

I never claimed that 1 BBC article was the sum of the supporting evidence.
