    Would you report a person who was drunk intending to drive or just hope he or she does not kill somebody or destroy lives,drink or drugs its the same thing it impairs your ability and judgement.
    I am sure the people who deal with things at the sharp end would see things a lot different as well as those who have lost family and friends .

    You've got a point Stu.

    It's definitely not going to be as straightforward as just saying 'ok it's legal' but I suspect it would save more lives than it would cost, so these people at the 'sharp end' need to be proactive not dismissive.

    Like I said, your point is valid for sure, but there are people dying every day, committing suicide through PTSD, anxiety, depression... Many of these ex-servicemen & women.

    It's getting the right strain mate.

    Like when you used to tune in a TV channel, you'd find a picture but then it would require fine tuning to make the picture clearer, it's getting the right one, not just the right one for PTSD but also the right one for you.

    It's much easier to just give you anti-d's innit.

    Aye, happen you're right.
    I just try to crack on & get on with stuff.
    One thing I do know is I don't want anymore anti-d's.
    Mind you, one thing about them is you get a cracking nights kip.

    There'll be ways to avoid this happening going into the era of technological driving, but I know what you mean.

    It's a lot more than smoking joints, I really don't see any progress for those hoping for that to be legalised on the grounds of it being beneficial to their health.

    Well it goes without saying Stu, careful laws need to be put in place for stuff like driving. Like there is on alcohol, illegal drugs and many many prescription and over the counter meds, from Cough syrup to anti-psychotics. The danger to road users cannabis poses is already around in abundance in other things and in the already established recreational and medicinal weed use, it's all freely accessible now but the vast majority of the country respects the laws on driving with these things.

    This people of the sharp end thing is tiny. This is so much bigger. There are 60(discovered so far) active chemicals unique to cannabis. Only one of them carries a high enough natural dose to have an psychoactive effect and that is THC, there's other none psychoactive chemicals in that plant transforming peoples lives like cbd for example. Research is unlocking the powers of these different chemicals.

    There was ways to develop strains and ways to administer it so that THC has no psychoactive effects. For example the strain CBD Critical Cure, doesn't have enough THC in it to get high off, but the CBD levels in it a sky high, a wonder strain used for treating things like MS, Crohns disease, epilepsy, cancer, insomnia, anxiety, PTSD and so much more. Even if you had one of the highest thc strains, you could still make it into oil, process it with carrier oils such olive or coconut oil, turn it into a suppository and insert low which will bypass the liver thus causing no Psychoactive effects.

    Not to say that THC is the bad guy in this which brings an evil that could out weight the benifit. THC is also doing marvelous things. Like CBD it to has been proven to be very successful in targeting and killing cancer cells without the down side of killing other good cells like radiology and chemo therapy does. THC also treats chronic neuropathic pain, PTSD, Depression, Nausea and Anorexia.

    Weed simply isn't about getting high like it's perceived. Nobody can be blamed for perceiving it like this however, scaremongering and a lack of research in this country has most people in the a dark.

    This plant is doing so many wonderful things, it's about to completely revolutionise modern medicine. It's saving me from getting a lithium injection in my arse every two weeks which avoids the awful side effects 75% of people suffer from.

    Yes recreational users driving on it will cause the same problems as those driving on alcohol or certain prescription drugs, but compared to the lives it will save, the quality of life it will bring and money it will save. That tiny little evil is by far out done by the greater good it will bring.

    Recreation legalisation would be off the table for quite a while yet if it were down to me, it need to settle into our medical culture for a sustained period of time so people can be educated on it and will respect it.

    It's going to change the world Stu. In fact, just over the Atlantic, their world already has. ;)

    I would suggest this, mate. I'll tell you why.

    https://cbdlifeuk.com/product/cbdlife-uk-vape-pen/

    This is cbd. It has had the potency stripped out of it. It does not get you high, if anything it will do the opposite.

    At the start of the year, I thought I was finished because of my back. I've been vaping on this and my body is so much better for it and my recovery time is so much better. I'm able to exercise again and I put it down to this.

    I honestly think we have very similar symptoms. I see it when you lose your anger, this will relax you and give you a clear positive mind. I swear by the stuff now.

    CBD - Healthy body, healthy mind.

    Remember, you aren't going to get stoned from this.

    See 83's post Stu. CBD is actually legal, it's THC which is illegal. Though your doctor won't be able to give you any credible advice on how to take it as he/she won't be trained in how it will react with your present meds. So you'd be taking it at your own risk. This is the problem you see, we know it's good, we know it can help you, but we know it can effect the efficiency of other meds by weakening or accelerating them. The law is preventing your doctor from giving you the required advice.

    I did hep C treatment back in 2005 mate. Tough going but stick with it, mine has gone and won't return unless I'm an idiot!

    Blessings
