Is there anyone else on here that likes to smoke weed?

On all the threads I've seen that have mention cannabis it usually made out like the worse thing ever.

I'm a bit of a stoner tbh and just wondered if there is any others out there? I always see threads with people sharing what they drinking so thought I'd give it a go!

Not sure how this will go on here soo 🤞

From the vice.com article:

Of course, European law is one thing; British law is another. According to the drug law agency Release, import cannabis containing any THC – "even if it's less than 0.5 percent" – and you risk being prosecuted, as doing so is illegal under UK law. CBD products containing zero THC can be legally imported to the UK, but if you advertise them as having medicinal properties they will need to be licensed by the MHRA.

So: not exactly legal in the UK.

Which is exactly what I said.

Did you read the rest of it?

I know people who go around collecting opium poppies through summer. Really addictive, a few have ended up on methadone.

user1471565182 · 19/05/2020 11:59

but no you're right its not a massive problem

TheUser420 · 19/05/2020 12:22

Did you read the rest of it?

Why would I ? I stated THC is illegal in the UK without a licence. The article confirmed it. If it had contradicted me, I would have responded as it would have been wrong, and possibly got people into trouble. Beyond that I have no interest in any of that nonsense.

I know people who go around collecting opium poppies through summer. Really addictive, a few have ended up on methadone.

That's because opium is physically addictive. Like nicotine. And alcohol. And cannabis. Oh, hang on, that's another War On Drugs©®™ load of bollocks. Cannabis is not physically addictive. It may be habit forming. But then so is nail biting.

Its illegal in the same way its illegal to draw on the queens picture or whatever.

I was reading in the local paper just now about police using a chainsaw to force entry over what appears to be a small amount of weed and I saw this in the comments. Apologies it's DM link though.

I had no idea did everyone know about this?

Depends what you mean about "this" ?

I knew the UK is the worlds biggest exporter of medical cannabis.

I also know the UK is arguably the worlds most disgusting hypocrite when it comes to it's clear policy of creating a profit from criminality.

The only thing that offsets that is the fact it's widely known, and a lot of the UKs population has made it's own decision to raise two fingers to the lot of them.

Shit laws should concern us all.

I think the normalisation of CBD products is a good thing for the cause. You can even buy THC free weed now (online and specialist shops). Looks and smells the same I'd assume, as it has all the terpenes still. Surely the government will stop this stupid splitting of hairs at some point and decriminalise?

Totally agree 420, it's the war on drugs that's the problem. Pre 1971 there were between 500 and 100 registered drug addicts in england. Figure for 2019 is nearly 150,000 Sad

CockCarousel · 20/05/2020 15:18

"edit" 500 - 1000

Uk not just england.

user1471565182 · 20/05/2020 15:19

The low THC stuff I bought smells more like standard hemp really, looks the same except a few seeds (not sure if they're legally plantable). Worked for good sleep and killing aches off a bit. Coming off my methadone at the moment its been really handy

With so much COVID-19 doom and gloom online, some in the cannabis community have opted to turn the channel with what they call “care-mongering” on Instagram.

People have been dropping off or mailing cannabis-related products, including pot seeds, to friends, explained Lisa Campbell, the Toronto-based CEO of the cannabis sales and marketing company, Mercari Agency Ltd.

Where are all my fellow stoners at? Would be good to share a smoke, virtually, in these troubled times!

nomorefencepostsplease · 10/06/2020 17:13

We're still here.

Virtual smoking is all that is available in my neck of the woods right now Sad

Here - have a puff.

seekingwaxwings · 10/06/2020 17:28

I've just ripped a bong, here - pass it among you my fellow stoners 💨 Grin

Now I want to watch something fascinating yet not overly complicated or I won't be able to follow the plot. Also I need food, preferably both sugary and salty and full of carbs.

Ylfa · 10/06/2020 17:38

Yay you’re still here 😊😊😊 I’ll take a bong hit (and probably a coughing fit) thanks!

I got some ‘legal’ stuff recently out of curiosity - some of it’s pretty good. I like the lemon haze and the silver haze so far. The site was CleverBotanics or something like that, worth a try if you’re stuck.

For fascination without complications I really love footage of Mars (I think NatGeo on Disney+) when I’m in that state of mind. There’s a weird thing on Netflix too about future colonisation of Mars, it’s part drama part documentary. The format doesn’t really work but I loved it.

seekingwaxwings · 10/06/2020 18:48

I love stuff about space when I'm stoned! Although I watched something about Jupiter once that freaked me right out and I got a bit panicky about how big it was. Proper twisted my melon.

I've ordered some food from my local Mexican delivery place. Burrito, sweet potato fries and wings. Smile

Ylfa · 11/06/2020 08:22

Mmmm 🌯 how was it? I mostly just microwave tortilla chips covered in primula with jalapeños, before moving on to the granola and yoghurt phase of the munch.

nomorefencepostsplease · 11/06/2020 09:09

Just to remind you all that "What we do in the Shadows" is back on BBC (tonight I think).

Very envious of those of you who can watch it in an altered state.
