- Peter Hitchens: Cannabis should not be legalised
This week, the Misuse of Drugs Act will be fifty years old. Passed shortly after we decimalised our currency, and shortly before we voted to join the EEC, it established a system of blanket drug prohibition that remains in place today.
Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens still supports the act and says cannabis should not be legalised: "There are accounts of horrible violent crimes committed by people who have been using marijuana".
The only person interrupted was Hitchens.
Indeed.
@Miles
Taken a break from visiting gay brothels, have you?
He does go on a bit
@@Competitive_Antagonistwhat?
i would like to see peter have his own show he is worth 10 of them
Agree.
I'd love to see him talk about his views on both cannabis and COVID-19 in the same sentence. Sure, cannabis can cause psychosis in a minority of the population, but it's not a contagion like SARS-COV2.
Presenter lost control of the debate by interjecting his own opinions and thought he was bigger than the subject under discussion.
💯
Correct
Even though I disagreed with Peter, The way he was spoken over was awful. The other guy was allowed to talk over unchecked!!
I like to listen to Peter Hitchens as well but you have to admit, if he didn’t get interrupted, he would just talk and talk and talk until the early hours.
@@carpog I understand what you mean, yes he certainly can talk for a long time, but surely you can accept that in this specific situation he was in the process of making his KEY argument and to try pulling him up on a smaller irrelevant point is ridiculous, given that Blunt was not ever questioned or interrupted on his assertions (which I suggest were baseless in many places)
Peter was 100% right. He sat in complete silence while the guy talked. He was the one who was interrupted. These presenters are a joke.
Well said
He did the same emotional arguments that he accused others of. If I want to read a book critical of cannabis legalisation, I don't think it would be him at all.
The guy on the right accidentally admitted it. "I sat in silence for his, and I did for yours too at the beginning" (more or less, but the at the beginning is the important bit).
This happens every time Peter goes on any debate, his opponents always try and interrupt him, to try and win the gotcha game. But they're to dumb to realise their point is illogical or plain wrong. Not every host interrupts him, but they did here. What amused me was host on the left expressing correlation doesn't equal causation about cannabis and mental health, but completely swallowed "medical cannabis has medical benefits" without asking the same question. The mental gymnastics of the pro drug lobby is incredible.
Peter wasnt right. Cannabis has killed 0 people in the past year whereas alcohol has killed thousands.
yeah, but you got to stop Hitchens when he is spitting lies.
Please let Mr Hitchens speak uninterrupted so he can complete a point. We know you disagree with him, but it does not further adult debate when you constantly chip away as he's explaining his stance.
Crispin Blunt? A suitable name for this discussion
“You have to listen to the other side” says the interviewer as he interrupts Mr. Hitchens for the 25th time.
Exactly: even by 1 minute into the interview I'd already had enough of the irritating little squirt.
Not impressed with
interviewer constantly interrupting Peter
Tbh that was the best bit for me.
Tbf this is the second video I have seen of him and the other wasn’t much better. I’m spotting a pattern here!
Peter on this occasion I am afraid is completely wrong on this issue, someone needs to correct him
Pete the prat doesn't let people to get a word in he just jabbers on talking rubbish
Whale was an embarrassment in that interview, trying to shout down Hitchens, then throwing him off the show. Pathetic teenage tantrum.
Disgusting conduction of the debate by the so called host.
Why would they even bother have Peter on if they where to carry on like this!
Peter Hitchens can’t speak for more than 5 seconds without being interrupted meanwhile Crispin Blunt is allowed a monologue. Why even invite Peter at all?
Sorry chaps. Hitchens was the only honest actor here. You shouted him down when he said what isn’t dogma.
Hitches claimed thc has been on the NHS for years. Completely untrue.
Cannabis is an excellent drug but should be made legal for over 21's but we need debate with people that have at least consumed it for a period of time before cancelling it and going against it. Its like having kids...you have no idea until you have one
@@arranrobeson3205 actually you're wrong, it has been its just not been made mainstream knowledge
@@LunaRose1312 years?
@@arranrobeson3205 at least 5 but it could be as far back as a decade, I remember seeing a lady who had a THC oral spray for extreme epilepsy in around 2011 when the legalise movement really took off, as a cannabis addict I wish they would stop promoting cannabis as some form of wonder drug, it ruins lives and is incredibly psychologically addictive, ive been trying to quit for over 10 years with only 6 month sober stints during that time
Typical of most hosts nowadays whether television or radio - ask a guest on to speak and then interrupt them when they are trying to make their most important points. Why ask people on to debate if they are not allowed to finish?
yes the best impartial host was nigel farage when he had an lbc slot
they should take notes and then ask questions at the end of the monologue, having said that Hitchens does have the habit of babbling on and on, you have to interject at some point or he just keeps going.
@@HuxleyWasRight Perhaps or politely ask that the point is made quicker. I am not sure he babbles, rather seeks to fully set out his argument and the point he eventually makes. My point is that I tune to listen to the guests/their opinions and not the host(s) who invariably interrupt or throw tantrums when wanting to appear to in control.
James Whale: "I'm not going to be spoken to by people like that, as well".
Like what? You're behaving as if you've been sworn at or been insulted personally, when you haven't on either count. You're very thin-skinned, and you wouldn't last five minutes in my job.
Oh by the way, it's the demand that drives the supply. So if you want rid of the gangs Mister Whale, then start by trying to decrease the demand. And to do that, you need to send out a strong message of deterrence by hard-line law enforcement and judicial sentences for people who buy, use, or grow their own supply of drugs. If you destroy the market this way, you will see that the gangs have less custom and therefore will dwindle.
@Matt C , they haven't tried it. The police and courts ceased to prosecute possession alone a long time ago. A couple of years ago the police were present when hundreds of people were smoking cannabis in a park and they didn't arrest one single person for possession, nor did they confiscate any of it, despite it being an illegal drug to buy, sell, and use. It's been de-facto decriminalised, and it's been going on for a long time, meaning there hasn't been a strong legal deterrence which has led to an increase in the market for it.
@Matt C , well I believe that's disputable depending on the specific countries, their laws, and approach to law enforcement etc.
@Matt C , legalisation doesn't actually get rid of the black market, not least as legal drugs are taxed, whereas illegal ones are not, so undercutting legal channels. Tax is only one aspect of a complex argument and isn't to me the decisive factor in determining whether poisons should be legal or not. Both alcohol and tobacco as you know are legal in Britain and in many instances cause tremendous individual and social health and economic damage. I'm not saying there isn't an argument for taxation, but it's not the only (nor for me anyway most important) factor.
@Matt C , no that isn't the claim. The fact remains that alcohol and tobacco black markets still operate despite widespread legalisation. So the claim that legalisation and the taxation that comes with it eradicates criminal gangs peddling drugs is false.
@Matt C , well prohibition America isn't as black and white as it may seem. For starters, they tried outlawing a drug that had previously been legal and established in culture over hundreds of years. Also, law enforcement didn't really prosecute possession, only supply, which would never succeed as there's always someone willing to supply as long as there is a demand for something.
In Peter Hitchens case then we Should criminalise alcohol for alcoholics.
I disagree with Peter Hitchens
Why does the question of the legalisation of cannabis have anything to do with the legalisation of alcohol?
I'm a big fan of Hitchens, but 100% disagree with him on this one.
I don't think Hitchens is inaccurate when it comes to some of the negative impacts legalization could have, however that doesn't change how silly it is to try and regulate a plant that can be home-grown, and has never been attributed as a direct cause of death. When we have hundreds of thousands of people dying from liver failure on the regular, one has to ask whether the benefits of legalizing Cannabis specifically would genuinely outweigh the costs.
Nah
How is permanent mental illness any more preferably to liver damage?
He does talk in his book about the possible connection between cannabis use and violent behaviour and even terrorism
@@JwayT he may talk about it in his book ("possible" being the operative word) but thats a very far fetched claim. What evidence does he have to back that up ? No wonder no one read the book lol.
I like Peter, but he is wrong on this. So many people use cannabis, it does not have that effect on people. Thats other drugs like cocaine and mdma
Every hard user I know started with 'harmless' mind-altering substances, chiefly cannabis.
Legalizing it solves nothing.
he doesnt know what he is talking about millions of people say he is wrong and he agrees no one read his book cause he doesnt know owt and every1 know it cause we all smoke or know sum 1 who smokes weed
The majority of people I know who smoke weed are losers. Just my experience.
There are millions of people in the world who don't know anything then.
And there are some people who are unable to construct a sentence without using 'txt spk' grammar and spelling...
When five people get drunk they start a fight. When five people get stoned they start a band.
Some do, others quit their job, stop calling their friends, and burn a hole in their sofa. Unfortunately, that is what I have most experience with. Even so, I am not against legalizing it, but I am against promoting it as a wonder drug.
If five thousand people get stoned, a couple of them decide to machete someone to death.
I truely believe in the principle that we aught mediate ourselves rather than the state mediate our behavior for us; but the notion that this is a drug without harm is naive.
What's more, it probably won't be your son that gets hacked to death in the park.
Listen to Joe Rogan with Johann Hari. A much more sensible take on drug legalisation.
I agree with Peter hitchens, not a popular view but must be Said!
CBD is not a CB1 agonist like THC is.
THC lowers blood sugar and increases melatonin.
Trying to associate weed with violent behaviour is such a boomer thing to do.
@@UrbanAssaultSurvival Well there is a strong correlation between violent behaviour and use of weed. Im not saying it causes violent behaviour but should atleast be investigated to see why so many crazy killings occur when the killer is high.
@@danielsundstrom8312 that violence comes from the gangs dealing it. More people commit violents acts drinking alcohol by a mile!
James Whale used to be okay, now he is just a emotive shrill.yuck 🤮
No, has a ton of negative side effects, paranoia, decreased reaction times, delusions, hallucinations, inability to think straight, increased heart rate, respiratory problems, severe addiction.
Sounds like you're referring to alcohol mate
I’ve never experienced a single one of those side effects & I owe my life to weed. I was on the ropes with depression, having suicidal thoughts and smashing my own face in to cope with anxiety while taking “anti depressants” months passed before I tried bud & within 30 seconds it showed me how to cope with life. Years later I’m still not addicted, smoking pot very rarely but when things get a little too much I know it’s my release. Like anything else, used in moderation with a healthy lifestyle & not abused it is a completely natural solution to issues which we quite clearly do not understand from a medical perspective. ALCOHOL 10,000 deaths per year in UK. WEED 0 deaths worldwide, EVER.
@@eastendthug Indeed, so why advocate making another dangerous drug legal?
😂😂🤣🤣 Bollocks. They can't tax it simple as that.
@@charlieaskew5120 How are you calculating the 10k deaths vs the supposed 0 weed deaths?
Conservatives "we don't want the government to intrude on people's freedoms"
Also Conservatives " hey, stop using that plant, who says you have freedom to do what you want
You could also argue the left wants a societal policy whilst also advocating drugs which are harmful to society. Life is full of those kind of contradictions.
Im conservative and a stoner.
We cant as a society look at ourselves and say, oh Alcohol is ok, but then THC/Weed is some how some sort of evil
It's because it's convenient to ban weed. Banning alcohol just wouldn't work. This is why I don't take anti-cannabis laws seriously. They aren't arguing from a practical or moral pov because if they were, they'd ban alcohol in a heartbeat.
I love Peter Hitchens but couldn’t disagree with him more on this one.
@animal abuser Real argument winner, that..
Terrible host and PH is right! they only want to hear what they already believe.
Get rid of Whale; he's rude and adds nothing!
I've seen many fights through alcohol
And none on cannabis it just chills people out.
It's our choice to smoke it or not.
I have seen psychosis from cannabis. Not a pretty sight.
Maybe you should visit the "attackersmokecannabis" site and read the news reports documented there. The fact that you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
When pushers cross county lines to sell drugs
Probably because you dont live in a rough area where drugs are common place, particularly harder drugs. Do you never face the awkwardness of some bloke complete off his head falling about outside stores, it isnt just about violence. Laws are supposed to protect the people whos lives you may infringe upon, not you, plus anyone who thinks drugs only affect the person who takes them is either wilfully ignorant or got a dark agenda.
It just I have heard this argument so many times, if only it was true, I have seen pitched battles between students and the police, and fights that started when potheads were politely asked not to smoke near the kids playing football, these morons were anything but chilled.
Peter Hitchens as usual was the only adult in the debate.
James Whale and “Ash” was arrogant and ignorant as always.
I would rather not give my money to criminal gangs but I have no choice
How do you not have a choice, are you forced to buy cannabis at gun point?
Wrong So bloody wrong Mr Hitchens
I consume cannibis around twice a month. I have degenerative discs. The pain can be debilitating. I have tried everything. Only cannibis works for nerve pain for me. I use a vaporiser as I hate smoking anything. I got a Cancard last month so I can pretty much go around decriminalised. It's a life saver for me.
The health benefits of cannbis FAR outweigh any downsides. Yes. Prevent the young from using it as a recreational drug as it affects their formative minds. Make it a 21 years and over, over the counter drug and many drug gangs will go bust.
Well according to hitches your a dirty criminal!
You are an exceptional case. Cannabis is ruins most people's lives undoubtedly.
Hitchens understands that correlation isn't necessarily causation, which is why he calls for an investigation. Correlation is what first alerts us to a possible causation of something. The tobacco companies used to argue that the correlation between smoking tobacco cigarettes and lung cancer was just a coincidence.
Blunt being blunt on blunts.
Crispin's chin is going ten to the dozen. He's on the white.
I bet after he says this he will go home and set himself up with a nice tall glass of whiskey or port......................... Hypocrite.
crass comment
@@rodneyhull9764 Shut up Rodney.
Psychoactive port?
@@jafar4marva I think you should google the term drunk and it's effects on the mind and body and it's addictiveness.
@@tolkienist7905 No need as actually I am in agreement with the point you are making ; although it's probably better to keep the argument against the wilful promotion of indiscriminate recreational use of powerful pyschoactive substances separate from the discussion of entrenched problems of alchohol abuse.
There are endless examples of inhuman behaviour mitigated in courts under the pretext of having been mentally impaired by the effects of alcohol - more than 1400 years after the"repressive" Islamic injunction to forgo the minor "benefits" to protect society from the greater harms the arguments for freedom of choice prevail and are being extended to include liberalisation of deeply antisocial and damaging stupifying so called soft drugs.
These presenters are a joke. Peter Hitchens was being his usual well-mannered self and all they were the ones interrupting him! Sort it out TalkRadio!
>out of touch boomer yells at plant
Nah, he just doesn't agree with you. Certainly not out of touch. His books and articles are amazingly insightful.
I'm of the mind set, you do what you wanna do as long as it don't affect me, so if wanna smoke cannabis crack on.
Drug laws are only here to protect commercial interests not society.
I love Peter Hitchens anty-cannabis stand. Mr. Hitchens, please don't stop fighting.
I always want to go out and commit a serious crime after smoking a joint Peter!!! What a ridiculous comment.
I would imagine that all of those "crimes" were from people who happened to have smoked weed...and then drink some alcohol and then proceeded to snort some questionable powders.
you might not now,but what about after ten years of increasing use?
You can drink a bottle of vodka and take a box of painkillers every night and employers are fine with that yet I know people who have been sacked because they smoked on holiday two weeks before, that can’t be right
Drugs tested by people who are snorting coke in poncy wine bars at the weekend.
He drinks when he likes, so why cannot I smoke when I want.
There's plenty of alcoholics so let's ban booze, there's plenty of obesity so let's ban fast and ready meal foods.
I do neither drink or over eat and enjoy exercise so why can't I have the Odd smoke now and then.
Legalise cannabis? Might as well legalise Russian Roulette as far as mental health is concerned.
Spend time in a psychiatric ward and see how harmless it is!
Spend time in a cancer ward and see how helpfull it is.

It should be legal, it should be taxed. Simple. Some people need it for medical reasons and some like to use it for fun, no big deal.
*It should be legal, it shouldn't be taxed
But you'll moan about the tax just like you do on the cigs and complain the government are ripping you off, but maybe no actually you'll be too high to complain. lol
Why tax it when you can easily grow it at home? The only tax would be on products that are offshoots like sweet lozenges and vape pens etc.
We don't want it legalized we want it decriminalized so we can grow it at home without fear of PC bigfoot kicking in the door!
lets hope its not your kid getting run over by a stoned driver then
What has happened to James whale? What a plonker!
No it should NOT be legalised.
Peter was hogging the time to be fair
Yes. The presenter didn't handle it well, but Hitchens doesn't know when to shut up and let someone else talk for a change.
Prince Harry took drugs and look at his intelligence?! 😱
Weed isn’t bad. Sure some people have it that definitely shouldn’t but legalising/decriminalising it won’t change that. I’ve been smoking weed today and I cleaned the whole house, baked some banana bread and listened to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Pretty productive day off if you ask me.
And damaged your lungs and brain
Sorry peter I disagree with you.
These man need to have this debate over some stardog lol
Hahaaa
Only violence after smoking weed is against pizza
One of my first time disagreeing with Hitchens
Surely not the last....
Peter - this is where you lose me, Sir
I usually agree with Peter but not on this.
Never thought I would say the words Peter Hitchens is ill-informed!
Why?
Nor should you here...
No he isnt
This show needs to get axed. Absolute drivel. How does James keep his job? Absolute disgrace of a radio show. Why Peter Hitchens or the other guest bothered to come on and waste their breath I don’t know. The whole conversation would have been much more useful, informative and a productive debate IF only James and Ash had called in sick and let the pair of them discuss matters directly.
Decriminalised...not legalised, concentrate the police and legal resources on sex offenders and violent crime
why? ive paid for all crimes to get punished
@@rodneyhull9764 ?
Your money would go further on some serious crime.....
I like you Peter Hitchens but you’re so far off the mark it’s unreal. Cannabis causing violence is the most ridiculous thing Iv heard
and illegal cannabis causes a shitton of crime in the illegal drug trade. Hitchens is unfortunately succumbing to ideological conservative prejudices.
@@TomDingleby totally agree. The violence comes from competition within the gangs. I don’t know anyone who smokes a joint and then thinks to themselves “right I’m ready for a tear up” Alcohol on the other hand...now there’s a problem that we all know and will happily admit
Should cannabis be legalised?
No makes people into couch potato's

Give em hell Peter
Constantly interrupting the man and then throwing a tantrum when he refuses to be shouted down: what a bunch of amateurs. What a bunch of amateurs.
Sadly I’d agree if Alcohol was criminalised too otherwise a totally flawed argument
Looking at the comment section It seems rather clear whom was in the wrong, and it certainly was not Mr Hitchens.
Hitchens basically fights every argument put to him with, "oh that's an emotionalism" despite the fact all he does is base his opinion off his outdated instincts of fear towards drugs with effects he doesn't understand.
I agree with a lot of Peter says but there's nothing wrong with smoking hash and it's not a drug
What idiocy from the presenters! Go to the website Peter Hitchens
mentioned to read about cases where people have had violent
and/ or psychotic episodes while addicted to cannabis.
@Matt C Halfwits to begin with.... according to??
"Go to the website Peter Hitchens mentioned to read about cases where peoplehave had violent and/ or psychotic episodes while addicted to cannabis."
Peter Hitchens doesn't believe addiction exists and refuses to accept psychosis and Schizophrenia are conditions because they can't be objectively defined. So, whatever these people were suffering from, it couldn't have been psychosis due to cannabis addiction.
@@robwilde6857 substitute dependence for addiction then.... I actually think addiction exists but I take his point that it is self-inflicted.
@@AnnabelleJARankin I don't want to put words in his mouth but I doubt he would accept dependence exists either given that his reason for doubting addiction is that people can make a choice to stop if they want to and indeed, some people do so.
Of course, he has redefined addiction specifically so he can deny it's existence but that's just typical of Peter Hitchens' logical failings.
I've got a feeling if they all smoked some wedding cake they wouldn't be sitting there arguing about it like this.
ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM.... maybe get a education

It helps with arthritis and epilepsy M.S and many other illnesses
I'm not sure he has ever argued against medical uses, although I didn't watch this full clip this time.
@S Anthony It's a bit like the argument with rape and abortion though, isn't it. Let's put it this way, in other interviews I've seen of him, he isn't really directing his ire at people who use it for pain relief.
@S Anthony He's held this position for decades, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise.
Take control and distribution of drugs...ALL drugs...away from criminals...but, as Peter says, do it right...don't do it in order to try and tax it or control it as is done with smoking. Minimise State regulation and simply allow it to be a part of the free market.
If everyone was allowed to grow their own the drug gangs would be out of business.
While Socially/Personally I do not approve of people smoking cannabis, what people do in their own homes are not the business of the state or myself. I'm not for legalizing Cannabis but decriminalizing it for private use in one's own home I am willing to tolerate but not out in public areas.
chances are,they don't own their homes
Free the weed!
The rage this subject creates is always interesting to me.
@TFEA it’s the passion people conjure for wanting it legalised... astounding. It’s a cultural flashpoint.
As a user, I'd like to see it legalized but not in public just in private cafes homes, etc. I use to be a heavy drinker and arrested every week now I just smoke never been in trouble and smoke only in house. Also helps with arthritis in the back and neck
Hitchens and Crispin Blunt meet again!
Should initially have licensed areas to sell and consume Marijuana like they do in Amsterdam. Adults make a choice so if there are any side effects they should be on the packaging and the responsibility lies with those taking the drug to educate themselves before hand. I wouldn't like the government telling me I can't consume alcohol or can only consume small amounts at a time. Give people the choice and let them decide what they put in their bodies.
But I'll take an non approved experimental gene programming jab.
Please don't
SACK JAMES WHALE @TALKRADIO
It seems we haven't learnt the lesson of the US alcohol prohibition in the 1920's and 1930's. If many people want cannabis they are going to have it be it legal or illegal. If cannabis were legalised the supply would be government controlled and the more dangerous types excluded. An immediate benefit of legalisation would be the saving of thousands of hours of police time. It probably won't be legalised and so in ten years time we will be in the same place as today fighting a war that can't be won.
Hitchens was 100% right -- and I am pro-legalisation!
One of the massive misconceptions everyone shares about smoking weed is that those on weed don't commit crimes because they're too stoned to do anything.
While this is true the problems of drug use aren't just confined to time spent put of your head on drugs but the time in between when paranoia, irritability, anger and all those other negative emotions kick in. That's when I'm betting most of those violent crimes are being committed and I also know depending on how others gather data this side of drug use may well be omitted.
It's rare in comparison to alcohol.
For issues like this, perhaps long form debate would be better especially with heavyweight debaters such as Mr Hitchens due to the extensive knowledge they bring?
Did he really just say violent crimes committed by people who have been smoking marijujana? 🤣 is he is serious? Has he ever had a spliff? 🤣
He’s bought into the reefer madness madness big time
He's talking about heavy users being linked with violent crime, which is undeniable. Not that people smoke it and have a fight.
@@DS-kd4py I'm sorry what?? Heavy users of marijuana being linked with violent crime is undeniable is it? And what source do you have for this? Thats actually hilarious.. 😂 and not true
A rose between two thorn's
Ash offered a crack of light into solving the problem when he said that kids stopped taking it when they saw it as no longer cool and this offering was just completely brushed away and ignored...
when you see the benefical efect it has on autistic adults ......you would agree that it should. ANd of course there are many other conditions where it helps....... As long as people are sensible and not doing jobs or driving etc under the influence. when we say cigerettes and most obviously alcohol is ok... the argument becomes redundant
"As long as people are sensible..."
That answers that, then.
Hitchens is usually pretty level headed but he's way off the mark and clearly overly emotional about the issue. His data is clearly flawed.
I hate any mind altering crap. Shouldn't we be telling our young the truth about the crap !
Peter looks high as f 😎
No adult should be able to tell any other adult what they can and can not put in their own body
So, if that adult has children and elderly parents who depends on them for all sorts of mundane things (food, clothing,dropping off to school, medicine etc..) It’s ok for them to say “I’m going to be completely selfish and shoot up today. They’re just gonna have to sort themselves out” Or what about the airline pilot who thinks it’s ok to down half a bottle of vodka before taking control of the aircraft because “ No adult should be able to tell any other adult what they can and can not put into their own body “. Yeah, right!
The cult of Covid believe otherwise.
Oh people never tire about that old slogan.. But is it really true? Maybe if you are a Robinson Crusoe living isolated on a remote island.
@@TheNobbynoonar thanks for the meaningless straw man argument. Clearly both of those examples effect other people which is not what I’m saying at all.
@@alexjones6141 That is the whole point of his argument, that your actions always have an impact on others. The simple act of taking an illegal substance for instance, means that you are complicit in the shootings of drug gangs.
Alcohol has benefits and risks and is only destructive if abused and technically a source of nutrition, marijuana is not a source of nutrition and if smoked is far more destructive than both cigarettes and alcohol especially for the brain. Unless it’s hempseed oil that doesn’t contain THC, then no way do I think it’s should be legalised for health reasons to be blunt, smoking shouldn’t be legal either.
Vaporise it in a weed vape like a Volcano or a Vapcap. You leave all the carcinogens and only inhale the CBD/THC combination which has beneficial effects. As well as being fun. :)
how is it a poison if it doesnt kill u peter
read the definition
Peter Hitchens is a poor me passive aggressive victim whining about everyone else, then James Whale acts like a victim and it all comes to a meaningless end. PATHETIC
Can't help but laugh when I hear the name Crispin Blunt. It's the perfect name for a cannabis consumer.
