After reading such widely believed propaganda, I'm quickly losing faith in mankind.

SUPER-strength cannabis so potent that just one puff can cause schizophrenia is being grown by Merseyside drug gangs.

Cannabis resin, usually smuggled in from Morocco, has been replaced by home-grown super skunk as the drug of choice for sale by criminal gangs on Merseyside.


Experts warn this new strain of cannabis is so incredibly strong it can bring on the early signs of schizophrenia from a single puff.

Cultivated in houses rigged with professional heating, lighting and feeding equipment, the crushed cannabis leaves are thought to be up to 25 times more potent than that smoked in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Instead they have been replaced by a mental health timebomb waiting to explode.

Merseyside’s chief constable, Bernard Hogan-Howe said: “Cannabis is not the harmless substance some people believe it to be.

“This new super-strength cannabis is here on Merseyside and is creating problems now.

“The legacy of people taking this drug today could well be felt for generations to come.”

Heh, it says . . ."More dangerous than LSD and Ecstacty. . ."

Which I can't believe they even class the two together in the same sentance
Are we going back to the 1940's weed and heroin scheme again?

1. Sounds like bullshit to me. Superstrength....how many times have

I heard that.

2. Seems like

a conservative backlash in the UK as a result of marijuana being downgraded to a Class C (roughly the same as jaywalking) crime. From all the articles I've seen there have been ABSOLUTELY NO testing methodology of comparing THC content.

Bottom line: Reactionary bullshit from ignorant conservative fuckwits.

11. Oh, I think that they know how to test THC content

They test hemp for THC, and medical marijuana (especially after the weak, horrible batch that did nothing).

Apparently these people just don't know what THC *is*

7. actually

a lot of the shit proferred as "hydro" is in fact at least 20-25 times stronger than the "grass" our hippie forbears smoked in the late 60s and early 70s.

that's why it costs so fucking much compared to commercial grade mexican weed.

8. It gave me my first panic attack, back when I was 16.

I had to give it up. It just wasn't fun anymore.
