Not sure about that but yes, some good comment, certainly it dosn't mean all who partake are bad. Often quite the reverse. Its the denial that worries/baffles me and the message that youngsters take from that, tis all and when under the influence (I don't mean this in extreme) can they make the right decision about accepting something stronger. I don't know, just a concern.

It's a difficult subject because many taking drugs probably did so ill informed, through peer pressure, trickery and so and its that area that gets emotive for me. Is it really as controllable as people imply? Or are they simply refusing to accept it? It may be no worse than fast fooding every day but I think most of us accept that that isn't a good diet and as parent we would limit this for our own kids wouldn't we rather than let them make the choice?

I need a cup of tea!!

I saw it - very interesting. As for the argument that people become psychotic - ok maybe some do, but then but I'll bet there's more casualties from alchohol and cigarettes!

Just imagine the pubs turning out on friday and saturday nights and everyone comes out loving not fighting ;)

btw - I dont do cigarettes, alcohol or drugs (only prescribed ones:() so personally I dont condone any of it.

Im not going to get too involved in this, i have done a few times and said all i need to before...

But Viney, you have seen my house, i grew up on a council estate, left school with D's, but wanted a better life and worked hard. I own a very nice first house with double garage, in the SE of England (so not cheap), have 3 nice cars, 2 bikes (yar ok its just material...), good group of respectable law abiding friends (some smoke, some don't), would I fit your critera as a long term smoker??? Good busy lifestyle, lots to do, I abide by the law in most cases, im usually too worried about how my life could be ruined if i done something stupid.

As a long term smoker, who recently decided to give up in case of certain tests in a medical, i found it quite easy as i had a reason too. Its broken my every day habbit, my partner still smokes it, and apart from feeling more awake and alive in the mornings, i feel no different.

I won't ever go back to how much i used to smoke (mainly costs), but i am looking forward to a smoke every now and again.....

Its fine having an opinion, even those against it, but theres a way to put that opinion accross.

Oh, for any youngsters, its not addictive, but it can become a habbit and take over. This is what needs to be controlled. As i say, everything in moderation is fine, abuse it and it will bite you in the ass.....

As for those becoming mentally unstable, its been proven there is usually an underlying issue. But then drink too much, you get ill, smoke too much, bad throat/lungs, too much green, it MAY give you mental issues, but not proven. As usual, its just sweapt under the carpet. Im very clued up on it as its a serious thing and i wanted to know everything about it, long term issue, short term etc...

Im saying nowt more, this topic has been covered many times.
