  Formerbrother;

  there are a fair few sacred name movement groups out there, have you looked at how close they are biblically to the truth as well? there are many boxes they may tick to be even closer than the WTS , membership of the UN, worldwide cover-up of child abuse, continuing failed and false prophecies, its a tough call, maybe you need to do a bit more research?

  Question_Mans; there are clear sighs that manifest themselves as addiction , I know many people at the moment who are trying to quit mj and are showing them; shakes, insomnia,headaches,irritability, anxiety, extreme mood swings, to ignore these signs is very churlish.

  2+2 , I wouldn't patronise you to that level, I believe you are generally speaking about your own personal experiences which are a million miles away from the reality of how folks react to it or any drug, I know a huge amount of users if all drug types,(myself included) its a sea of opinions, fair play if it works for you.

  there is clear evidence that it is very addictive, I know many guys that simply cannot function without it and are desperate to quit, skunk is extremely strong these days, I know people that grow it.

  2=2 every objection raised here is just met with your response "bullshit" I suggest you may need to do some more research or pay attention to folks you may know who are long term users, to call every objection or well rounded response as "bullshit" proves to be very unhelpful and pointless

  Finkenstien, its one one the most misguided myths that mj is not addictive,I've seen it destroy families, I know quite a few heavy users that have quit using it in recent years, they cant emphasise enough how much better they feel in fact most of the people I know who are users want to quit but are struggling to.

  the problem I found about smoking weed, (I was never a big smoker probably smoked about 50 joints in my entire life solid and grass) and also the stronger versions of skunk made me feel completely out of control, totally out of it and I hate that feeling, but it is a complete anti diuretic, and I found that worrying, it cant be good for the bladder area. Also the "scooby snacks" the famous munchies, I found myself eating some ridiculous amounts after a few joints, I've seen friends order the most ridiculous amounts of food and eating it all, in the last few years I've found losing weight very difficult so another issue with it.

  the words "egg on face" clearly apply here, never heard that at all although I do remember Reece giving talks at DC's when I was a kid, I wonder who the London head honcho was back then?
