According to the article Cannabis strength has gone up from 1.2 in Ye
Olden days to 22% now. Is it possible or scare tactics? The stuff I
toke doesn't give me any different buzz from that which I used in the
1960s.

If strength is really a problem then legalising Cannabis would be ideal
as it could be sold in goverment approved strengths

Indeed, and what does the strength matter? People get drunk on beer as easily as vodka, they just use more of it.

I realise that it's not necessarily applicable to other drugs:

but it's next to impossible to kill yourself from a single over indulgence
in beer (short of the normal act of making yourself drunk so you walk under
a car, etc) whereas with spirits it's all too easy

mostly is produced by hard spirits.

I agree. In many US states the shelves are lined with different strains
of weed and the customer is given good advice about what type and what
strength to buy.

I've only come across one, in Kentucky (near Fort Knox) but I was told
there are others. You can have alcohol in you home etc, there just
aren't any bars or shops which sell it.

Even in large cities, you will find places where you can buy guns and
ammo in a supermarket, beer, wine, but not a bottle of gin or whiskey.

The rules may seem strange but they aren't unreasonable and it is their
country.

I have a gun cupboard with a locked door with a chain through the finger
guard, the ammo goes in a safe (combination) and the action for the
rifles is stored in a combination lock box.
All three bits only come together when I am ready to shoot.

I alone know the combinations and I have the only keys with the spares
held by a friend off site.

Kids can get to it but only if they have heavy duty grinders, bolt
cutters, diamond tipped drills and /or explosives.
The firearms officers can call in at any time to check

We both have access because we have the relevant certs, but no one else.

No it wasn't a sensible point. You've contradicted yourself. You've

nicked for either GBH/ murder or manslaughter....whichever is applicable.

Do you really distrust your kids that much?
Erm, it's the law. If you don't comply with their rules, you forfeit
your gun licence.
So, you need to defend yourself and have to find the key, unlock the
safe, run around collecting all the bits, then, oh nevermind it's too late.
That's poor trolling even by your low standard.
WTF? It was a sensible point. Why have a gun that you cannot access
immediately you need to use it?
No it wasn't a sensible point. You've contradicted yourself. You've
already agreed that in the UK we don't own guns for self defence.
If you shoot someone deliberately then you *will* be prosecuted and
nicked for either GBH/ murder or manslaughter....whichever is applicable.
I'm sure that Ophelia will confirm this.
I actually thought ALL guns were illegal now in the UK.

Anyway, the only possible point in having a gun is to shoot a bad guy. If we can have them but have to lock them up, we might aswell not have one at all.

I agree. In many US states the shelves are lined with different strains
of weed and the customer is given good advice about what type and what
strength to buy.
AFAIK only 8 states have legalised it so far. Will they all follow
suit, and how long will it take?
Probably not. Remember, there are still parts of the US (not whole
States) where you can't buy alcohol.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I've only come across one, in Kentucky (near Fort Knox) but I was told
there are others. You can have alcohol in you home etc, there just
aren't any bars or shops which sell it.
Even in large cities, you will find places where you can buy guns and
ammo in a supermarket, beer, wine, but not a bottle of gin or whiskey.
The rules may seem strange but they aren't unreasonable and it is their
country.
Indeed it is. Mind you, they have a point, guns n booze are not a good mix.
True but it was the way ammo was on offer like beans, buy one get one
free, which struck me. I'm not anti-gun, it just seems strange.
Indeed, Americans have become too casual and gung ho with their love of

Having spent a lot of time there I don't think that is generally true.

According to the article Cannabis strength has gone up
from 1.2 in Ye
Olden days to 22% now. Is it possible or scare tactics? The stuff I
toke doesn't give me any different buzz from that which I
used in the
1960s.
If strength is really a problem then legalising Cannabis
would be ideal

I agree. In many US states the shelves are lined with different strains
of weed and the customer is given good advice about what type and what
strength to buy.
AFAIK only 8 states have legalised it so far. Will they all
follow suit, and how long will it take?
Probably not. Remember, there are still parts of the US (not
whole States) where you can't buy alcohol.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I've only come across one, in Kentucky (near Fort Knox) but I
was told there are others. You can have alcohol in you home etc,
there just aren't any bars or shops which sell it.
Even in large cities, you will find places where you can buy
guns and ammo in a supermarket, beer, wine, but not a bottle of
gin or whiskey. The rules may seem strange but they aren't
unreasonable and it
is their country.
Indeed it is. Mind you, they have a point, guns n booze are not a good mix.
True but it was the way ammo was on offer like beans, buy one get
one free, which struck me. I'm not anti-gun, it just seems strange.
Indeed, Americans have become too casual and gung ho with their
love of guns.
Having spent a lot of time there I don't think that is generally
true. We get a distorted picture of America and Americans from the
media, just as they do of here etc.
alt.home.repair seems to contain 90% gun lovers.

Go to parts of France and you may be surprised by the gun (hunting)
culture. For 'murderous' looking knives, visited southern France.
I've been to France several times and not seen one gun.

Walmart have a guns and ammo section in many supermarkets. They only
sell rifles no but used to sell handguns having moved more into the
'sporting' gun market.

As for a cite just go to the Walmart website and search for guns and/or
ammo.
You get a long list all titled "In Store Purchase Only" for the
firearms, air weapons can be mail order.

I was interested to see that they have one of my air rifles for sale and
it costs a helluva lot less to buy in Walmart than I paid for it. Less
than half the price.
I need a new firearm rifle and it is going to cost me a lot more than
you can buy at the supermarket in the US. That is going to annoy me

The "psychosis argument" is that many people are susceptible to
psychosis if they take psychoactive recreational drugs, and it isn't
usually possible to identify such people before they become psychotic.

As I think we all know, those of us who are tokers, much of the weed on
the streets has been mixed with other substances to make up the weight.
I think "spice" (the formula for which regularly changes) is cheaper
than weed, so maybe that's used to make up the weight sometimes.

Skunk’s psychosis link is only half the cannabis story

... Researchers explored factors affecting psychosis in 410 people
diagnosed with the condition for the first time, comparing their
lifestyles with those of 370 controls who’d never had psychosis.

They found that psychosis was three times more likely in those who
smoked high-potency skunk cannabis, compared with non-users.
“In daily users of skunk the risk rose fivefold,” says Robin Murray of
King’s College London, who co-led the team. People who smoked
low-potency hash, by contrast, were no more likely to experience
psychosis than non-users, suggesting skunk was the culprit.

What is it that makes skunk disproportionately harmful?

Basically, it is far richer than hash in delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol,
or THC, the ingredient that creates the drug’s high but which also
triggers psychosis. Even more important, skunk contains hardly any
of a substance called cannabidiol, or CBD, which has been shown
to counteract the psychotic effects of THC. “In traditional hash, the
proportions of THC and CBD are about equal, at 4 per cent each,”
explains Amir Englund of King’s College London, who was not
involved in the study. “In skunk, THC reaches around 14 to 15 per cent,
while CBC tumbles to barely a trace,” he says.

How come there’s so much THC in skunk?

Both substances are made in the marijuana plant from the same
starting material, called cannabigerol, so if the content of one goes
up, the other goes down. In hash, typically grown under natural
conditions in north Africa, the cannabigerol is converted equally into
both.

But producers in the UK have bred strains in which the enzyme for
making THC is more dominant, generating cannabis with much higher
THC content and much lower CBD content as a result. ...

It could be, I suppose. But that would suggest that psychosis
may tend to cause skunk smoking, rather than the other way
around. Could be a bit of both, though.

Someone will be along soon to say "coincidence is not causation",
which is traditional in these sorts of discussions.

'Skunk' is just a generic name given to a certain strain of cannabis.
When and how did 'skunk' suddenly become a term for strong cannabis?

Skunk’s psychosis link is only half the cannabis story
They found that psychosis was three times more likely in those who
smoked high-potency skunk cannabis,
What is it that makes skunk disproportionately harmful?
How come there’s so much THC in skunk?
'Skunk' is just a generic name given to a certain strain of cannabis.
When and how did 'skunk' suddenly become a term for strong cannabis?
According to:
http://www.drugwise.org.uk/skunk/

' ... The name Skunk itself points to a USA connection (being
so-called because of the pungent odour it emits while growing).'

-------------------------
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk

'Skunks are mammals known for their ability to spray a liquid
with a strong odor.'

From that same link:

"Skunk is the generic name often used by the press and police to
describe a potent form of the cannabis plant"

This is where the incorrect usage of the term 'skunk' originated from.

Again, from the same link:

"In fact skunk is only one of 100 or so varieties of cannabis plant
which have high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)"

Which is a much better explanation, but far from perfect. 'Skunk' was
a strain that had a distinctive odor. You can still buy skunk strains
(it has evolved over the decades), but there are thousands of pungent,
strong smelling strains of cannabis that are not skunk.

According to the article Cannabis strength has gone up from 1.2 in Ye
Olden days to 22% now. Is it possible or scare tactics? The stuff I
toke doesn't give me any different buzz from that which I used in the
1960s.
If strength is really a problem then legalising Cannabis would be ideal
as it could be sold in goverment approved strengths
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38994637
If it is now 20 times as strong why don't people use take 1/20 the
amount. i.e. the right amount for the buzz they want.
I mean whisky is 10 times as strong as beer but we just drink it in
shots rather than pints.
I don't really understand this psychosis argument but I think they are
referring to people repeatedly taking large doses as opposed to someone
taking a large dose by mistake, aren't they?
The psychosis arguement rages over whether it causes psychosis or
reveals existing psychosis. Mental illnesses are higher among those who
take cannabis regularly than those who do not. However there is a higher
rate of illness among those who visit hospitals.
The arguement is whether cannabis/hospitals cause psychosis/illness or
whether people with psychosis/illness are more likely than the general
population to use cannabis/hospitals.

then strength and frequency is added to the mix just for confusion.

Yes. And no mention that some people have underlying psychological
issues aggravated by heavy cannabis use. They imply cannabis causes it
instead.

There probably still would be a demand for skunk in a legal system. There
should be a warning on the packets, just as there should be a warning on
bottles of spirits.

I can't believe it does in anyone, the ones that "do" are probably already fucked.

Scare tactics and gross oversimplifications of the facts.

Nobody has ever died from cannabis consumption either. There is no
known toxic dose.

Yes, the 'strength' is irrelevant. The balance of THC and CBN etc.
*might* be an issue though, most breeding for recreational use has
focused on increasing THC over other cannabinoids. Might be... might
not be.
