Also, hash has got 4 times the tar that tobacco has ounce for ounce. However, what is this you say about grass not having any tar in it? (grass, i would call the leaves and pollen of the plant, dried)

I read this in an article in the high life a year or 2 back, ofcourse I'm not a scientist so I can't vouch for it's accuracy. Also I only smoke it with tobacco, so this whole cleansing your lungs stuff doesn't even go up for me  

Oh ... and I would call grass with leaves bad stuff  ;)  (you're meant to smoke the flowers, not the leaves (I assume that with pollen you mean the flower))

You are right when you say that it in general smoking pot creates a lifestyle but imho this is not necceserily a bad things. Going to pubs and drinking a lot of beer also creates a lifestyle, and I much rather spend time with people who are under the influence of pot then with people who are under the influence of alcohol. Though my experience with alcohol is limited (like I said, my ody doesn't tolerate it) I know for a fact that alcohol makes me do stuff I wouldn't normally do while I have never done something I wouldn't normally do under the influence of pot. Also I've never smoked so much that I didn't knew what I did the last day (and at times I smoked a *lot* of pot) while this is relatively easy to accomplish through the use of alcohol...

for the record (seeing as I didn't have anything to do today anyway) right now I am under the influence of pot (actually I'm smoking a blunt with some A quality moroccan hash right now, I'm in that few weeks no homegrown weed period, plants wont be ready for about a week or 3  ;) ), while that does affect my general state of mind, it doesn't effect e.g. my ability to communicate in a foreign language (or to communicate in general  ;) )

Calum:
interesting that you feel the need ot be completely open about any canabis use, probably down to being from holland, myself, even though i have had about one pipe in the last 2 years, i still automatically hedge my bets when talking about my experiences with canabis. I have been present at several late night raids and in Orkney (where i am from originally) one of my friends, who has ME (the disease, not the 'operating system') was sentenced to six months in jail, during winter, for possessing 3 grams of hash at his house. He used it for medicinal purposes.

This was in the same week that our sheriff gave a guy a

I never actually admitted to doing marijuana.... these are just speculations of mine. (lol)

badkarma:
Well Calum, I think my openness about my marijuana use stems more from the fact that you don't get arrested for using or possesing marijuana (well, not if you have 5 grams or less on you anyway) here then my need for being open about it.

In general people have a very bad (and way off) image of marijuana which is also one of the reasons why I am so open about it, to educate people otherwise (and to show them that not everyone who smokes pot fits the stereotypical "pothead" image).

I actually saw a while back here on a news background show a piece about the english pub owners coming to holland for a course about running a coffeeshop  
They also mentioned that marijuana would be classified as a class C drug, which would actually be better then our policy (according to our laws, it *is* illegal, however the dutch government has a "gedoogbeleid" (dutch word, have no idea about translation, basically means a policy were they don't do anything about something which is illegal))
