I haven't in any of my postings above advocated either imprisonment, or punishment, of cannabis users. Neither have I suggested that all drugs be banned and criminalised. But if skunk were to be re-classified as Class A, it would help in educating everyone about its inherent dangers. And believe me please it IS dangerous to those individuals who are at risk from developing mental illness, who are vulnerable to graduate to even more addictive drugs and who are struggling with self-esteem issues and miserably deprived lives. It makes me sad when folk joke and boast about drugs. I've seen the 'down' side of them, and cannot bring myself to view them as recreational pleasures. The young people I've worked with were in a pitiable state that would move anyone to deep concern.
