Cannabis Law and Politics

Every debate in the media seem to always bring up the issue of mental illness in regards to cannabis. Its always portrayed as something having negative social effects. Especially among the young, teenagers, troubled people. My observation with Cannabis is that even in extreme cases the consequences of consuming cannabis are surprisingly benign- even in highly disturbed and volatile people.

I guess we all wonder is the link between marijuana and schizophrenia real? Well i decided to compare rates of cannabis usage between country's versus the rates of schizophrenia among these country's.

While it sucks that marijuana is illegal, I am starting to think: maybe it doesn't as long as neither myself or anyone I care about gets busted! In my suburb of Taperoo South Australia- its everywhere! Hey I was in a lazy mood, and I was not sure the best section to dump this, feel free to move it.

What do you reckon? Maybe the "Authorities" really are just looking out for OUR Best interests?? ("Whaaat!? , MY best interests!? ...

My buddy is an amputee and I want to get him a birthday gift of a lighter pipe because he loves to get high, but he has problems using both a pipe and lighter, having only one arm. He gets by, but I think a lighter pipe would be the solution to his problem because it’s a pipe and lighter combined into one product. But which one should I get the solopipe or the 7 Pipe Pro?
