Thailand January 2025…….might fk off while there too see the Cambodian ruins akam wat

Agree. I’d legalise everything within state-run facilities where people can access clean gear in managed doses and be at a very low risk of overdosing. Tax it etc. You don’t solve the problem but you reduce it.

Just legalise weed in general. If I can sit there on my lemon and lime vape then the bloke next to me should be able to have an innocent joint.

but that’s logical

we ain’t got logical people in charge or in waiting

We might do but no party will ever risk the optics of “losing the war on drugs”. Won’t happen in your lifetime or mine.

id love to go back to Jamaica…….great place great weed great people

Last time I was there, I just rented a flat in a high rise and booked return flights. I'm going over with a bird this time so back to staying in a hotel. She's agreed to come walking around the local area during the days, though.

I assume you done the 9 mile?

Cannabis will be legalised in 20 years I’m pretty sure. It basically is anyway. The voters that matter don’t want it but that will be a very small minority by then.

I was there 30 years ago……what’s the 9 mile negril?

It's the town where Bob Marley lived and is now buried. Just along from St. Ann's.

I've always stayed at Runaway Bay. Kingston is a dangerous place if you wonder into the wrong area.

yeah went there and his birth place……..the Rasta community doesn’t live with much in materialistic items but it’s got everything they need from nature and they got it right in most aspects for a healthy long life

Not many tourists head to Kingston……butty of mine lived there for 3 years whilst working Welsh water said Kingston was amazing once you got used to it but there’s always a risk of there being a shoot out and caught up in the crossfire

Just the rest of today and tomorrow to endure in work. Need the break tbh.

Not looking forward to the temperatures where we going though, although not as bad as some places. Looks a fairly steady 30.

We are supposed to be making the UK smoke free by 2030, I guess people have their eyes shut again to this. They have already banned smoking indoors, which everyone accepted, they also control how they are sold along with gradual increases on permitted age of smoking, and anything else is done through taxation. So unless Labour dismiss our current objectives on smoking (when they get into power), I can't see it happening. Councils are already shouting for vapes to be banned next.

Vapes are out of control tbf. No chance that’s stopping.

Flavoured vapes are just about to be banned in the EU, I can certainly see some restrictions coming in the UK. Personally I wish they would leave us alone and let us do our own thing, but we've accepted every other rule, so don't see why any exception will be made to vaping.

They’ll never take my lemon and lime Crystal bars.

dusty toffs out of touch and out of thy tiny minds if they think they will stop cannabis use

Banned completely, or is it the plastic disposable ones?

Had this convo with the Mrs, she's a teacher and these things are rife in schools. It was on TV about banning them and I was like, adults should be able to make their own decisions, no way should anyone be told whether they can do this or not. Why the **** could anyone just to decide to ban them across the board, on what grounds?

Sales to school kids though, fair enough.

 

[aberdude]

The less choices you have the less freedoms you got

 

[aberdude]

So they stopped smoking because of the passive smoking chances of cancer…….yet cancer is raging with 1 in 2 people getting

so did the anti smoking campaign even work or did it just finish the pub game for a purpose

Which is why private cannabis clubs are not only logical but essential to make sure only consenting adults can buy and consume said products

these trash spar places have done nothing but encourage drinking and vaping even though they look down upon it in thy own community……greedy fking hypocrisy no more no less money over our kids safety……shame on them ****s
