OK, it's got through the COmmons Select Commitee, 2 more stages to go (back to the House of Common, then through the House of Lords...)

Hey Weed Guru, bring me some when you come to the continent

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 06:10 AM

Ho way Jose, my smuggling days are over: I got caught at Napoli airport with some...

....oh OK, will a Henry do you?

**Wally Pipp** · May 22nd, 2002, 06:19 AM

What airport security ?

Better make it two

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 06:24 AM

yeah, the dog got me. The guy felt almost embarrassed when I handed over 6 grams of dodgy soap bar

Schengen is such a wonderful accord innit ?

You can cross the border here and see a small office with "Douane" (customs) on top of it and no-one inside.

Illegal immigrant ? Officer ! Officer ! Officer ? Where the hell is the officer ?

oh well, all the better for the Society of Voluntarily Expanding the Growth Area of Usefull Herbs.

The MP's report also recommended downgrading Esctacy from class A to B as well but the government have already rejected that out of hand.

Unfortunately, the report rejected calls for either full fledged legalisation or even decriminalisation.

**HarryW** · May 22nd, 2002, 06:47 AM

Yes, David Blunkett apparently thinks he knows better than a group of experts who have conducted a proper investigation into the subject. He said something like "There is no safe dose", as if to suggest that class B drugs are supposed to be safe. What a tit. Why does he have to do everything the hard way?

**simonm** · May 22nd, 2002, 06:51 AM

What a tit.

I couldn't have said it better myself!

woo hoo class C for cool

can't wait till my plant* starts to bud

)

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 07:08 AM

Mmm, bit harsh maybe - the comment was ill-judged, but we have to rememebr that this has been the first real discussion and action on drugs since the 30s, when Cannabis was first made illegal.

Carter nearly had dope cleared for take off, but got mugged at the last minute when his "drugs czar" got caught with a young lady and some Columbian-quality posh

One other interesting thing I read in te Guardian today - one of the porposals was to open an "International debate on legalisation"

What are the dogs going to do??!?!?

That will be one of the things they will decrim too - growing for personal use...

How's the plant coming on? Using hydroponics? (or a couple of seeds chucked in the cheeseplant pot

)

**zmerlinz** · May 22nd, 2002, 07:16 AM

it is about 6 inches high now and doing well growing on my window sill. next year we will have a loft in our uni house so we are converting that to a hydroponics area, and one of my friends is a biologist so he can get all of the equipment for free

But that plant has to be a little hidden at the moment as the warden of the place that i am in sent out an email saying that the police had been called to campus twice on Saturday to arrest people for possesion of weed

so i am being a little careful at the moment, but when i go home next month it can go in the green house

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 07:22 AM

/imageine 10 coppers and 3 dogs raiding merlin's room, and kicking the **** out of one 6" plant

A friend of mine from London grows 3 plants in his back yard - I think he gets reasonably good harvets from it....

I'm just in th process of builting a little cupboard for the purposes of hydroponic growing.... I have a big issue with the smell though - I can't have extractor fans etc....

**Wally Pipp** · May 22nd, 2002, 07:55 AM

oh the sweet advantage of living in the countryside and having a garden ...

**Pix** · May 22nd, 2002, 07:55 AM

lol

**MerrionComputin** · May 22nd, 2002, 08:04 AM

A note of caution though - it took me 10 years to give up the cigarettes after my college days. Keep it pure or the nicotene gonna make you it's *****...

**simonm** · May 22nd, 2002, 08:15 AM

I've smoked joints made with tobacco for around ten years and I am not addicted to the nicotine in the slightest.

Many people I know did get addicted however...

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 08:31 AM

I'm a (light) smoker anyway; my wife isn't, but I only put enough in to rool the thing...

It's encouraging to see so many people here that smoke

**Wally Pipp** · May 22nd, 2002, 08:33 AM

Mary, you wanna smoke ? It's good for you

*cough* sorry 'bout that

**simonm** · May 22nd, 2002, 08:48 AM

Gaffer

Actually, I've given up for about a year or so because, since I moved to Devon, I've not been able to get any weed (mainly due to lack of suitable contacts) only crappy solid and I'm just so sick of that stuff.

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 09:00 AM

That is not good news Simon - tricky one.... An old friend of mine moved from London to Taunton, and he ende up converting his loft into a grow-room - very successfull

**Wally Pipp** · May 22nd, 2002, 09:01 AM

Pssst Green house in the garden

**simonm** · May 22nd, 2002, 09:05 AM

Yep, I think you're all correct. I'm going to have to start growing my own. Especially if it's been decriminalised...

**Gaffer** · May 22nd, 2002, 09:21 AM

About to be....

Anyway, my theory has always done me well (and prison-free) - as long as you're not silly and start growing over 5 plants, or carrying ounces of the stuff around, the dibble are only gong to cuation you (if they get you at all)

I bet if you tool a straw poll of European users in Chit Chat, you'd get such a high percentage - in fact, in all of the threads I have started, only chrisjk had objections to legalisation (which is , of course, his right)
