i say legalise it, I work for a university (maths/science dude so excuse the lack of grammer) and weed is everywhere, to all the daily mail brigade who seem to see green as this "super skunk" crap, yes lets all smoke resin with its crushed up vinyl, boot polish and diesel it's so much safer (have you ever seen what goes into res?). Yes it can isolate you, make you lazy etc but is it any worse than booze or the fags? Nope, all you ever see in the media is the downsides of the drug, the "i smoked 80 joints a day and stabbed people." Like any drug be it booze, hell even chocolate when taken to excess will screw some folks up. Maybe it's more to do with the nanny state raising a generation who have no self control, no self respect etc. I dunno. For the record I regularly smoke weed, i don't drink much anymore, I don't steal to fund my habit; I hold down a proper and demanding job. Seriously to those who equate pot heads to crime, its rubbish, try looking at coke/booze/brown related crime to see real drug related disorder, i am yet to meet a dope smoker who would rob/steal/beg to fund their habit
Sorry for the rant but it really bugs me to see all the bad press weed gets when they (media types) refuse to compare it to booze or other imo more damaging substances but then again if you live in the city and work in the media/banking sector its socially accpetable to drink dangerous amounts of booze and stuff coke up your nose on a regular basis but pot heads are portrayed as "dirty stoners" when in reality I work with pot smokers in my university on a daily basis who have more sense and brains/intelligence than half the people who work in the press/media/finance sector

not quite in the same vein but when I finish my degree I want to go on to lecturing at a uni, I do placements during term time at schools as and when they come up, and to be honest I think teachers are underpaid, I don't know if it's just because I'm not a "proper" teacher but the amount of hassle I got from the local scrotes (e.g bricking my car windows, slashing my tyres etc) does my head in, I can't wait to get into a uni post and to actually have a class who (for the majority) will want to be there, I've been shocked by the amount of work the teachers have to do in preperation for lessons which as far as I can tell is just because the kids are too dammed lazy to do the work and study themselves, they expect it all on a silver platter and to be spoon fed by yours truely
gadget I love is my mp3 player, it ain't no iphone touch but it's an absolut belter. Gadget I hate is my mobile phone ok maybe hate is a strong word, it's not the phone as such I find annoying, it's the texting bit I find annoying since most modern phones can cope with long messages why do people still use "txt speak"
(oh yeah should warn you guys I'm a bit of a computer geek)
I'm currently single and live in the manchester area, take it easy guys
