Weed in England

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Weed in England

Post by Yankee_Gooner_Dandee »

How loose/strict are laws over there across the sea on pot? Is it easy to obtain, how freely can you smoke, how tough are the laws, etc... I've never really known so I'm kind of interested.

Over here its fairly loose. You can buy it very easily. Cops dont really care about it unless you're a dealer. In California, Colorado, and a few other states it's been dropped down to a petty crime. If you're caught with anything less than an ounce its like a slap on the wrist. You can even buy it legally in some states with a perscription (legal by state laws not federal).

i used to smoke it but haven't since my daughter was born 10year ago, but yes it is easy to buy, find and if you get caught then it wont even be worthwhile charging you so they don't bother unless its enough to supply in there eyes

Far too easily available.

For people who are over twenty years old, it's an ok thing.

Kids in their teens are highly likely to develop mental illness. Which will fuck up the rest of their lives.

Many people are unaware of the risk to teenagers.

I speak from experience.

Kids are not aware of the dangers.

Better for them to be addicted to hard drugs. They can stop being addicted. And their brains still function properly.

Mental illness is a life sentence.

Everyone can buy it, and you get a slap on the wrist for using it.

But the skunk is bad as Olgitsays, and there are too many schkizophrenics as a result.

I don't tink it's as publically available as in the states... walking through GGF in San Francisco I get "Hi sir, can I interest you in some Marijuana" "no thanks" "ok, have a nice day" - that is fucking professional for a drug dealer :lol:

The stuff here is probably stronger than you get in the states, comes directly from Amsterdam so is cheaper. Seriously, if you really like it (I smoke it very very rarely), get a plane to Amsterdam, tickets will be really cheap. The coffee shops are legendary and you can smoke a spliff while checking out hookers.

I want to go to Amsterdamn so bad. But the weed here is very strong depending on how much you pay. California grows a shot load, along with Vancouver and the imports from Mexico.

Make sure you go to 'dam and once yo're there ask for a coffe shop calld 'Siberia'...they've got by far best choice of smoke (even red lebanese) and also unspoiled by tourists 8)

Have to disagree with you thare skipper. If you go to the dam, make sure you go to a coffee shop called de dampkring, though a little bit of a known coffee shop becasue it was in the movie oceans 12, its usually quite quiet becasue people cant find it! i found that the best selection of smokes was in there! best of it was 'Silver buddah haze', which knocked me out! Mate no matter how good the puff is over there, in Amsterdam its better, and its legal! :lol:
