This was one interesting fact if you've been following what's happening in the UK. The latest figures, which date from before the government's decision to reclassify cannabis as a class B drug, show this has now fallen to 29%. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/nov...cline-teenagers

Theres a major storm brewing in the UK - yesterday the govt sacked their science advisor (employed to advise the govt on drug use) after he stated that alcohol and tobacco posed a bigger public health risk than cannabis, ecstasy and acid. He had previously debunked the theory that using weed caused mental illness. Seems to me that the UK govt are turning into a bit of a right-wing American type govt, rejecting science in favour of their own chosen moral stance. This story is all over UK, just ask Aunty Google for further references - the sacked advisor is Professor David Nutt. Heres the story as it broke on the UKs Channel 4 News: GOVERNMENT DRUGS ADVISER ASKED TO RESIGN …

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/hydroponi...o-1225788074330 Nice piece of propaganda here that wont get retracted or explained properly to the public who swallow this shite whole. What is explosive about a hydro set up? If it was the hydro set up that exploded, why did they find it after the explosion? The type of fert used to make a type of explosive isn't used for hydro. Not many people keep diesel in their grow rooms either. If it was a fire that blew a gas line, then still not explosive hydro. Something else blew then the hydro was later discovered perhaps??

By Peter Mucha INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Posted on Thu, Oct. 15, 2009 http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/64391647.html Copyright 2009 philly.com Cesar Lopez, 29, was in a Lebanon, Pa., convenience store early Saturday morning, staring at the inside of his baseball cap near a restroom. What the Lebanon man was probably looking for wasn't in the hat, because it was stuck to his forehead, according to police. A uniformed police officer who happened to be in the store plucked a small clear-plastic bag of what appeared to be marijuana from above Lopez's brow. "Is this what you're looking for?" the officer asked. Lopez was charged with possession of a small…
