Revealed: Government helpline tells children 'cannabis is safer than alcohol'

London, April 19

The British Government's drugs helpline is telling children that cannabis is safer than alcohol, and ecstasy won’t harm their health, a shocking Sunday Times report has revealed.

The advice, given to reporters who rang the helpline posing as young people, has alarmed anti-drugs campaigners.

In one call, where the reporter claimed to be the friend of a 13-year-old boy who had started smoking cannabis, the adviser said: “He won’t get addicted, no. It’s not as dangerous as alcohol. Because that’s the truth in terms of the power of the drug.

hehe good one. It seems to be getting more and more inevitable...

EDIT: dammit, this stupid FRANK stuff doesn't has any guestbook... No way to tell them publicly not to tell any lies any more...well, I guess I know why.

When I went on the Frank drug bus a few months ago, they seemed to say that 1 toke of weed will give you schitzophrenia and 1 pill will get you addicted to loads of random chemicals.

Well I agree that it's not wise to tell CHILDREN that they can use drugs, even cannabis, with no problem. It's right that taking drugs while your brain is still developping is not a good idea.

But it's also true that weed is much safer than alcohol, and that using MDMA responsibly poses no health threat. But XTC doesn't only contain MDMA most of the time (when it does contain some), and this may be dangerous for health.

"Another adviser even encouraged a caller to take pot by saying that 'go and take Es, you’re absolutely fine.'"

well, it's obvious these reporters have no idea what they are talking about either, considering "pot" and "E's" are NOT even close to the same. fucking propaganda 1 hit of weed will send you to the loony bin. :wasted:

That's because it's the same thing. The only difference is that you sh*t out of your ass while he sh*ts out of his hands.

Those who are responsible of the war on drugs are cats, toxoplasmosis affect more than 50% of humanity and alter our behaviours so much that our entire society suffers from wars, violence and stupidity...
It is proven facts that this parasite is mind-controlling and probably causing schizophrenia.

Do you like cat urine ?

horrigan... wtf?

i was pretty much on the same page with you more or less, until you started talking nonsense about a parasite being the fault of this whole thing. the only difference between you and i is that i realize that the parasite is not a third party.. WE ARE THE PARASITE.

self conscious and occasionally resistant of our natural ways of leeching. that's the difference between us and other animals. we can change our mind at the drop of a hat. we can decide we dont like killing. but who's "right", and what does that mean for us? who will transform the majority, and into what?

this is the obvious situation we face, trying to figure out what is "right" and what's "wrong", not trying to interpret inconclusive data about a parasite.

either way, to come full circle on topic.. i dont think such a thing as a drug helpline should exist. what SHOULD exist in its place is an annihilation of the taboo we have of talking about drugs. INFORM NOT ENFORCE

 

[Horrigan]

WE ARE THE PARASITE

That's what it wants us to think.
Edit: well, maybe, I don't know.

Horrorgun , did you try the cat piss test yet ?
