Reefer madness is alive in the uk

Ive just woke up and checked the news headlines sent to my phone and nearly choked on my coffee after reading this little ditty.

I was going to post in that Stoner4Life post about an experience I had when a woman friend was killed in a head on collision by a drunk driver.

What happened led me to believe in visitations, and that people dying can reach out 200 miles to a friend, somehow.

I think that movie "Crossing Guard" is a good one to watch.

Good argument for mass transit.

There's not a lot of drunk driving deaths in SF.

There are a few coke dealer running from the police deaths.

I remember one where it was like a Clint Eastwood movie.

The car running from the police got some serious air, and landed on a car with a grandmother driving, killing her.

I like the Amish solution - horses.

That's an insane article, but do many people actually read and consider the Daily Mail as a legitimate news source?

The Daily Fail is more of a mouthpiece for the monarchy - but they do have some interesting stories occasionally - as with any MSM - its good to fact check before accepting any 'news' as factual -

It's the 3rd most circulated newspaper in the UK. It's a tabloid and there is a lot of shit. You know celebrity gossip and other useless information but it's a very popular newspaper and yes a there's a lot of readers.

I just couldn't believe this reporter was allowed to publish what is obviously a personal vendetta against cannabis. It sounded like the ranting of a mad man at certain points.
Was it a slow news day and maybe the editor was desperate for articles? I dunno.

It did read like satire but I knew this mother fucker was being serious. Probably typed it as he drank some whisky.
Madness absolute madness.

Yeah - Peter Hitchens has always been heavy anti-cannabis - and even blames cannabis for most murders it seems - but even at the Daily Mail we often see favourable cannabis stories these days -

I would love to know the real reason why he is so against it. Typical the Daily Fail allow this crap to be published.

I had never heard of the reporter to tell you the truth. I only ever take note of reporters names when they have something published that pisses me off. Recently that's been a reporter called Gemma Mullins who has been regurgitating the anti vape news from the USA every opportunity she gets.

I figure people like this probably tried cannabis as a teen, threw a whitey in front of some pals who took the piss and has never quite got over it.

Peter Hitchens is a self serving,,wannabe elite
A truly vile individual and nobody takes his smoke and mirrors journalism that he spews seriously ,,,
But keep on boozing away Mr Hitchens,,,,
A joke and embarrassment of a journalist,,,
I can only imagine the younger journalists pissing themselves at his bullshit,,,s2
