Its not a matter of irresponsibility. Its a matter of 15% of heavy skunk users going Schizo. Some people are not affected but a small minority are and more research is needed before we start selling brownies at the 7/11.

I know from first hand experience too. A cousin who has been smoking his old fashioned homegrown for 40 years tried 2 hits of some super skunk and he went fetal for 4 hours. He will never smoke it again.

Whats that tell you?

That he learned his lesson.

People have similar reactions to alcohol; to prescription meds, to a variety of substances. Yet we manage to survive hand in hand with them.

And, of course, you are being a bit overdramatic, selling brownies at the 7/11.

Oh my goodness.

The key problem here is that police and prisons are not the main ingredients of a Constitutional solution to the your concerns.

Also that your concerns are massively overblown and, if genuine, ought by the numbers to be directed primarily towards users of alcohol, which is - other than the pharmaceutical industry - the main substance abuse issue this country has.

It tells me he's a lightweight, and a quitter!

That it may have been adulterated with something else? Or that, maybe, it was similar to an allergic reaction. I react differently to different meds. I also react differently to different types of pine trees (allergies). What's to say that didn't happen here? Did all people smoking this version do the same thing?
