There is no such thing as a GOOD drug.

No you didn't, you got pulled because he was looking at cd's, like you said to start with.

You’re kidding right?

There are numerous other studies that concluded the same thing.
I rarely smoke cannabis because I don't like the effects but I have done in the past. From personal experience I wouldn’t hesitate to say that the effects of alcohol have been far more detrimental to both myself and the people around me.
Correct, no drug is 100% positive. It's just that you except the negative repercussions in order to experience the benefits.
what?
This thread is a mongomagnet!
No Stretch I'm really not, have you actually looked at the graph or are you hopping on a bandwagon willy nilly?

No I never. I said I'll get pulled now due to him having drugz(the fail).
The reason I got pulled initially was because he was looking at cds on my back seats.
LOVE the term mongomagnet!

Look at the facts and stop being so blinkered. It's views like yours that not only stop a harmless substance being enjoyed by the population, but make the social problem of alcohol worse due to it's illegality.
It will be legal in 5 years tops, just look at the US and Canada, where US lead we will follow.
How does that affect the here and now and the outcome to the OP or the validity of burnsy's statement?
I would be worried if you were genuinely a policeman, your grammar is awful......

He didn't say that he knew his mate had the joints on him. Plod in jumping to conclusions shocker!!!!
He didn't actually say that Jonny ///M knew his mate had joints on him, he said (paraphrased) that "he was naughty for letting his mate in the car with them" - no suggestion of knowledge needed. Who's jumping to conclusions now?
If harm is purely physical then you could have a point but social harm (i.e. to society) is another potential issue. Harm relating to family and friends yet another. To only define harm as purely direct and done to someone (either by themselves or another) is to miss wider implications.
You can argue about whether cannabis is more or less harmful than alcohol on any measure of harm if you wish to although I'd point out that any time you're saying "but that's worse than this" as a justification your argument doesn't appear to be overly strong i.e. if you can't point to the benefits of it independently and make a case for it then looking to it having fewer/smaller negatives than something else is a little poor.

It's got nothing to do with the OP. Burnsey seems to think it's not safer than alcohol, I feel those views are not only wrong, but detrimental to society and liberties.
But those are the view of the law, you can disagree with them all you like and make your verbal protests, doesnt stop them being the law and slapping fines, confiscations and criminal records on you for disobeying them.
As it's illegal surely by definition it's unsafe before we even bang on about how wonderful it is and how bad everything else is

This comes under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and it may come up on his CRB check.

And in the US it comes under "Crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMT) and crimes that are not to considered to involve moral turpitude."
"A CIMT is a crime which constitutes characteristics of evilness and which do not uphold the obligations one owes to society"
That's why I said ask after 4 months as it may not show up. Best to be safe then sorry
I would have to disagree with that, you can't just presume it's unsafe because its illegal.

D'oh. I knew what I mean't when I said it
That's kinda what I was saying, although when I meant 'no drugs are good', I was on about weed etc and I don't see any of those drugs having any 'benefit'. Not so much drugs for actual medical use, although some of those can apply to what you've said above.
They say weed can be used for medicinal uses, but from people I know who have smoked it for a large number of years, I can see first hand that it does affect you in the long run in a negative way.

that relates to a job application form not an immigration form, on the immigration form they purely ask about convictions.
