The Marijuana Debate



Not so long ago in the past professor David Nutt was sacked for claiming that the government was distorting information, he claimed from a scientific point of view that it has been proven that marijuana poses no long term health or social issues.

“I think we have to accept young people like to experiment, and what we should be doing is to protect them from harm at this stage of their lives... We therefore have to provide more accurate and credible information. We have to tell them the truth, so that they use us as their preferred source of information. If you think that scaring kids will stop them using, you’re probably wrong.” (Prof. Nutt)

We have long been told throughout history that Marijuana is a bad substance, however when you are actually talking about drugs dont forget Alcohol. People so often turn a blind eye to what suits them, and i dont know if you have noticed the new alcohol campaign that talks about long term damage (in posters around Wolves)... But lets be honest that is basically saying that Alcohol (everyones favourite drug) is actually WORSE than cannabis. How is it that a man making a perfectly reasonable judgement can be fired from his position?

Free and Open democratic society? I think not.
