More people die from drunk driving than diving head first from trees... doesn't mean I'm safe doing either...

Latest comment: "Many of those who have taken weed are also psychotic, and the mental institutions have done so much research on this matter, so I don't know what this nutjob is talking about. "

What a fuking arrogant tw@t. I took E's for years when they first came out and they weren't full of crap. All the tests in the world will never tell this wanker what E's do to a person. I lost a friend directly to E's and a few are now very troubled people. The guy is a total wanker, do all the work you want in a lab but go try it. I took it for years and ok it never harmed me but it fukec a few of my mates.

you could say the same thing for alcohol consumption. My friends and I have been drinking for years, i turned out ok, but one's an alcoholic and the other died of liver damage.

But that doesn't make it right. Currently (right or wrong) booze is legal, this barmpot has more or less told every kid in the UK that he thinks they should take e's or LSD before a beer! As I say he only knows his subject through theory, do the practical man and then come back, otherwise fekoff!

So just because you've guzzled down some pills makes you an expert does it? just cos you raved your tits off with your mates then had a dirty comedown, you think you know exactly how the chemical effects your body's chemistry. I dont know your personal background, but unless you've studied for most likely years to become a governmental drugs advisor i'd keep schtum. Oh and the "theory" your gunning down is the same theory that was used to make the drug in the first place..

Your view of a scientific study is obviously misconstrued it does not consist of this man sitting in his lab alone doing crazy scientific equations but also using studys especially in holland where it is easier to acctually conduct live experiments with people on the drug. he knows his subject as a profession, whereas you have only used it recreationally, he does not know his subject only by theory otherwise he would not be the chief advisor. dont be so ignorant

It clearly messed up your ability to spell, and to say something without endless dreary swearing. You are right - you are a living testimonial to the folly of taking drugs.

That man should come to my house for an enema he's full of shit.

Sacked for telling the truth ! Cannabis is illegal because it's virtually untaxable, being too damn easy to grow yourself. And if made legal the tax generated from the sale of alcohol and cigarettes would plummet as people moved to the cheaper or cleaner high.

Absolutely spot on mate, its a disgrace that this guy has been sacked for telling the truth. Whats the world coming to? Seems like only yesterday i was riding horses around abandoned warehouses...

"Just because they're legal, doesn't mean they're safe" - equally he could say "Just because they're illegal, doesn't mean they're lethal" then? Chemical-altering drugs from classes A to C have many more effects than just death, he of all should know.

The big question is .... if you horse ride whilst stoned is it safer .... coz you are more relaxed when you fall off ?

Guest: hectic (16 days ago)

If you wanna smoke then smoke, If you wanna drink then drink. If you wanna take drugs the fine, take drugs. But if you do, then do it the right way and do them all together it's brilliant ;-)

I despair, I really do when you've got presenters like this leading on the masses. She should be sacked for her first statement alone.
