Some interesting quotes:



"If cannabis is re-classified back to B in the UK it is the death rattle of
legalisation in the English- speaking world."
David Raynes
National Drugs Prevention Alliance
******************************

Marijuana
Don't buy the "medical marijuana" lie! How many other approved medicines
are:
*       Smoked? 0.
*       Come in unmeasured doses? 0.
*       Have unknown strengths? 0.
*       Taken as often as you think needed? 0.
*       Taken in crude form(aspirin from tree bark)0
*       Are voted on by the public? 0.
*       Circumvent safety of FDA testing? 0.
*       Contain no warnings on harm? 0.
*       Are recommended by doctors, not prescribed? 0.
*       Allow a person to grow or produce their own medicine? 0.
*       Allow some unnamed doper dude to hold your stash? 0.
One exception to any of the above would be amazing, but all of them? Don't
buy the lie!

From The Sunday Times February 17, 2008

Drugs don't give no satisfaction, say Stones
The Rolling Stones, original bad boys of rock, have warned younger pop
idols not to take drugs because of the health risks.
