" One cannabis joint as bad as five cigarettes "

Is it true ? How do we know that this is true ? Everyday we are told things by the authoririties who back things up with statistics , reports , so called facts and figures. These are people who claim to know what is good for us; people who have their own agenda and reasons for telling us these things.

Critical thinking.
Discerment.
Is it so ?

On reading this article , my intuition says " hang on now ... not everything is as it seems. My gut feeling tells me to be critical. Is it so ? Is it so ?

Thank you Neil. Through your posts and alternative ways of looking at things being fed to us by the media, I am starting to be more discerning, and more critical.

Is it so ? Is it so ? Is it so ?

I think that this is kind of true. What it comes down too (IMO) is the filtering. With joints people just normally 'roach' them, whereas cigarettes are filtered to slightly reduce toxins. Stick a filter in it, you'll be okay

so- called facts by so-called experts are subjective. they they belive strongly in their point of view then their job is to convince us. if someone disagrees with them, then it is their job to convince us even harder. I think the problem her is in the scare-mongering. giving "facts", that seem to convincing that we don't question. when was the research done? how many people were involved. There are so many factors to look to.

One of the ministers, a female, recently confessed to having smoked weed at university but then said the stuff today is more potent. has she smoked it to make a comaprison. the "expersts" saying it is so, have they done it themselves? we should take everything with a pinch of salt

More shite and another attempt to discredit and put the squeeze on an organic substance which aught to be used for far more than a study for ridicule....

How about the real reality of it? Here's a hint....

Peace in all its dimensions...
