    "I drank to get drunk but ultimately didn't like the effect. Not so with grass. It had the opposite effect from alcohol: it made me more tolerant and forgiving. I did a little bit of cocaine in the Eighties, courtesy of John Belushi, but fortunately I didn't like it. But I smoked marijuana for 50 years and I don't know where I'd be without it. It opened my mind and now it eases my arthritis. After decades of research I've concluded that marijuana should be legal and alcohol illegal."

    It wouldn't take much research to recognise that as a factual comment.

    Absolutely. Although a trip to A&E on a Friday night should be enough to convince you.

    As with any legalised drug, Cannabis would need to be taken seriously, so regulation and widely distributed health advice would of course be part of this scenario. People with a pre-disposition to mental health problems would need to be made aware of the difficulties that may follow through prolonged and repeated exposure, particularly when using hybrid varieties with increased levels of THC.

    Let's also not forget that poor mental health and addiction go hand in hand, and that only one of the two substances in question is physically addictive.

    Clue: It's not the one that grows in the ground.

    Like I said, do the research and you will see that in every aspect alcohol is detrimental. It's a depressant that has a 'cool' name. Yay!

    No, but I'm not addicted either. Moderation is a core principle of mine.

    I'm not addicted either. But moderation is not any sort of principle of mine. I go weeks without a drink and then imibe copious amounts I one night and then don't have any more for ages.

    That was actually just a gag about my role on here, but sadly, you're right on the other front.
