Our government hasn't had any credibility for decades and the idiots stupid or fanatical enough to still believe in any of them are just going to ignore contradictory facts like they've been doing for years :p


Also, I'm not sure where you watched it, but that was shown Monday the 4th of September last year, it's not a new program.
I haven't watched it and I'm never ever going to unless it shows up somewhere else, channel 4 wants me to register! :rolleyes: :wave: Nope, I don't register to break the law thanks, which it would be since I don't pay for a TV licence. I refuse to fund the BBC because they're shit.

It says it's about Wiltshire police and joyriders, plus it's by channel 4 who aren't ran by the government so I'm really not sure how it's connected to legalization anyway, is there a summary anywhere?
Well I cant get clarity right now on the original airing date. There seem to be different subjects for the same episode series 6 episode 1 which makes no sense. All aired this year though that I have seen?

Regardless, I have never seen such pro-legalisation propaganda on TV befote. Maybe they did show it first last September. Let it sink in for a few people. Then start picking up the programme when the time is right.

I dont think it matters what channel this stuff is on. Television is purely a mind control device. No single mainstream channel is independant of the global tyranists. The "government" are not even the government anyway, they are just lured in by their egos and tossed into the ring to take the spotlight, the blame plus do all the nitty gritty, incompetently as hell.

Every point in that episode corresponds to the sudden upsweeping movement in the UK. No question big movements and preparations are already underway while we are being stalled officially.

Also interesting is how the government officially said they have no intention of reviewing the classification of cannabis until at least after the world Health organisations review of it next year.

I forget where I saw the link now but suddenly it appears the WHO have already done their review and it's got a pretty promising thumbs up as being potentially very good for us after all or something to that effect.
So I thought that was a bit strange how suddenly that was swept along like that but kept well hush. And then with the recent search of headlines pressing for legalization at least for medical with one specific landmark case.... not just a load of coincidence is but a sign of the times and they simply inevitable.

The incompetence of our government will be a big hurdle though and it could take them years to change a bulb. But it will happen (fairly) soon now.

So Im confused about the show descriptions. Cant find anything on that episode except the link to the replay in my post above, dont know what to make of the duplicate episodes?:hmm:

It was mentioned on leafly I noticed, it happened from the 4th to 7th of June, the full notes are available here http://www.who.int/medicines/access/controlled-substances/ecdd_40_meeting/en/

It's really dry reading though. Little summary here https://www.leafly.com/news/politic...ds-cannabis-an-effective-relatively-safe-drug



If it was during that programme that the government said 'next year' then the programme was from last year. I'm not sure how you're checking, but remember that it is On Demand, so people could have watched it any time since the first airing.

I'm not even sure your link took me to the right programme, I found the list on Wikipedia though:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/999:_What's_Your_Emergency?

Bro you're dead right sorry for the confusion. I was confused myself trus! I have a very comoromised level of brain function so please bear with me at times.

Yes-episide 3. But I'm sure when I originally posted that video link it took me to this actual episode it must have changed.
http://www.bradfordzone.co.uk/999-whats-your-emergency-channel-4-3-may-900pm/

This gives a little description of the program but it is such a poor representation of the actual content, jist and theme of it all.
The WHO link I hope to find gave some interesting and more specific info. If I track it down I will post it here.

Have a good night anyway to all fellow UKers, you should all be :zzz: by now hehe!

Looking at that wiki listing it only goes up to season 4. Episode 3 of season 4 is about harder drugs like crack cocaine.

I think the episode @Alexis was referring to was Season 6 Episode 4.

Thanks Greenhopper, I have been awfully confused over this simple matter. I do vape too much but it is mostly mental and visual impairment, memory and concentration difficulties.

I cant watch your link on my tablet still but hopefully you guys can and may be able to offer some additional thoughts and insight. :tup:

I would like something from the NHS because what i have is uncurable and based from anxiety and noise i cannot escape that but i noticed recently and side effect of vaping is possible hernia and coughing and straining both vaping and pooing. But the quality is so poor cooking is not strong enough i shortly plan to press them on high oral doses of CBD or THC because all i got offered was the junk placebo SSRI which i chucked in the bin. So for 7 years ive been having to basically pay for my own medicine while everyone else raids the NHS for operations and pills.

I cannot use opiods all my life and if you google hyperacusis you will see its currently untreatable and you get no help at all that does not harm the body or maybe even make you sick or infertile or suicidal in the case of prozac.

I am very sorry to hear this. A crazy country we live in where our animal rights are better than our human rights. No person should be left to suffer like you. Please fight on, holding your head high.

Surely a confusing time but exciting to see cannabis being thrust into the UK news! When @Alexis first posted after seeing that news programme, by the following day I had seen 3 stories on different outlets. The WHO and everyone else says there’s evidence that cannabis has medical value for a wide variety of conditions, yet very recently in the papers I’ve seen both Home Office and the NHS Boss still insist it does not. WTF? How long do they plan to deny reality? Remember when the UK was thought to be a progressive society? I’m still reading about “evil skunk” that apparently is only a social problem in the UK? Like @rodders83 & so many members, I would love to see medical cannabis available. I’ve got 3 major conditions that I have dealt with for decades, about 7 years ago I developed crazy tinnitus and hyperacusis which is shockingly common with chronic pain and nerve damage.

That shit messed with my sleep and affected my day-to-day more than the more serious conditions. I didn’t realise how much it had affected me until I got some help and relief. I’m in your corner @rodders83 !

Thanks @ktmstick and @pxl_jockey i explode with rage when something invades my ears so it makes living in an urban area impossible which is an impossible situation. And the worst thing is its actually more misophonia than hyperacusus even though i have tinnitus and another ear infection at the minute i feel or have zero pain. But it can ruin your life i think i lost a lot if time to this and the NHS not only dont reconize the latter they also seem to not see THC and CBD is the first line of sedatives they should be using not ssri or even CBT because sometimes it can be distressing to hear these noises and if it was me i would just break whatever is generating the noise during CBT. So its gonna be fun talking to them again when they see ive detoriated further because they have nothing thats not harmful in the longterm. If you look at the case of the caldwell kid well they are storing it under lock and key 27 miles away then driving it to them twice daily. So its hopeless they are literally treating natural plant cures like biohazard.

I dont see why someone like me cant move away from society and if they wont allow that at least let them naturally deal with thier own health problems without putting your nose in. There should be a law where if something does not harm anyone and never leaves the creators property it should not be automatically illegal. But its all about money its either whoever makes prozac or whorver got the contract for the CBD on thr NHS would not want to lose out and see people do it at home.

And the person at the minute who is the ultimate power in the land and prime minister has her money in the NHS side of epilepsy and sativex not something like an equal ratio mike simpson oil. Which is what needs to join the above two as soon as possible. To wait five years for trials is simply not an option.

Legalising cannabis could be ‘win-win-win’ for UK, says thinktank

Institute of Economic Affairs says criminalisation has failed and reform could create £1bn


https://www.theguardian.com/society...cannabis-in-uk-institute-for-economic-affairs

Oh, you don't say! That's a new concept. Good for the economy eh? Well I never knew it could be anything but negative, bad and unacceptable!! And simply harmful to brain health etc etc.
Slowly waking up?

15% thc limit, do you think you could live with that? I probably could.
Maybe one could slug it out with a rosin forge if you needed a bigger kick!

I really cant see this happening anyway. I mean, they would only be shooting themselves in the foot. I can see them trying it but to me they are just being stupid and wasting everybodies time for nothing.

I still think this is at least partly a crack-head blag to pretend they innocnetly thought cannabis eas bad that's why it is illegal, but they suddenly discovered it is Skunk in particualr that is causing all the problems. So they gotta stick to this lie now until the agends changes (and they just accept everybody wants full strength gear like they have now), and how they are basically going to lose out to the black market.

And also this way thay can extra blag that they have a unique, better safer product that is better for your all round health and WONT make you Schizo.

Sure a lot of naive new potential customers (note-NOT patients, in their eyes) will be easy to hook and install fear into of street weed.

God if this scheme has any initial traction, and they believe they can make it work, just imagine the propaganda that will be hurtling our way to really drum in this myth of skunk danger.

But ultimately I just dont see it working. What I want to see now is if they actually genuinely intend to pursue this capping nonsense at all, in which case at what point will abandon it and get with the flaming programme like the US and Canada, and just about most places it is becomong legal now.

That said, it isnt all about THC anyway. We grew Auto Brooklyn Sunrise outdoor this year. It is only 10-15 % THC apparently but it is very strong weed, gets me high as fuck. It is way better than a lot of the street crap my friends buy, most of it in fact.

So many other compounds playing a role, I think we have got so hung upmon THC levels we think cannabis cant be good enough much below 15%.

Still Im with most people and want the highest possible. :nod:

I dont think so lads were stuffed for ten years. Look at all the sad facts goverment collusion and investments into cannabis. UK prime minister has invested into a 1.2 trillion investment fund and are laughing now the contracts going out for the new canmabis approach.

I was gutted to read that the "Big Review" into uk cannabis changes nothing! Very few conditions will get access to cannabis products but cannabis itsself will not change. How did they manage to get away with legal drug selling while others are in jail? And who the fucks these specialists when there are no uk experts in cannabis nor trials because they wont allow any to be done. Really whats happened is they quelled the uprising from the parents of epelepsy parents in the uk while stifflng legalization.

How do you make a other jump now to leglalization when they only push that was happenening is now gone? You wont hear anything else now from the Caldwells etc or Theresa May. It will now be hush hush time becauase they both got what they wanted free oil for the kids and free profits for the Mays. I mean they even managed to seperate in law raw cannabis from a cannabis product.

How is a cannabis product legal while raw cannabis will get your home raided and your liberty taken away.

I need a huge press to quickly squish everything i have in the time it takes them to knock the door down, and devistate my life for a harmless plant...

Heh that is what GW pharmacuticals do right? They take raw cannabis and blend them for thier products. But you try doing that or apply for the same license they use to do this.

Really this is a heist! UK #1 world producer of cannabis while shcedule 1 at home which is no medicinal value? Do you thimk we could start a petition on the gov website to discuss this or Theresa Mays collusion? We only need 100k signatures for it to be debated on tv i want to see people discuss this persons vested interests and investments into GW and possibly asked to resign.

Because people like myself live in daily fear of my door being kicked down and if it does thats my life and travel rights over ive said to many people if this was America i would sleep with an AR15 and put second thoughts into any door kickers. Here in the UK what can a man do?

Also my apology for the typing on the keyboard of my phone it really does need multiple edits.

Unless you've got a serious shitload, relax a bit.

I know 3 people local to me who've been caught growing, none of them got more than a caution and a fine, the worst case got hammered for rigging the electric meter more than growing weed.
That was one guy with a 4x8 tent and 6 plants, one guy with a full room and 12 plants, one guy with a 2 room shop converted into 2 grow rooms, no idea how many plants he had total but quite a lot more than the 9 plant 'personal limit'.

Well since i had trauma ive been in a rented home so i lose that first due to my tennancy agreement. Second is the sheer trauma and dirty conditions made me develop severe ocd i cant touch anything dirty without a bath and i cant wont let anyone touch my items. So when they take all my stuff away or touch vapes glass come into the room i wont cant mentally ever get past the feeling of dread and i guess the ruined feeling is so severe its like so overwhelming i think i would have to just end my life after they leave the house because i could never get my posessions back in the condition they would be before pigs look every nook and cranny in your home. And i would not want them back after the search either so i lose everything i built up in life until now.

So for me its a massive invasion of my property. even the raid for me is a death sentance but so is the daily stress without taking such a risk. It sounds crazy but stress can do scary things.


But im sure people out there can imagine where these fears come from. Any vegetarians in the house? Ok well those policemen just had a nice greasy steak or burger... did not wash thier hands and soon they will be coming to your home to handle anything they can in a search. Now this is the kind of choice and fear i have. Risk the above or keep giving all my money away to street criminals!

Rodders really sorry for all your pain and hardship man. I feel you on the germs and not letting people touch your stuff. I am the same. However my OCD is not irrational or over-exagerrated, in an out of proportion sense.

I have had Lyme disease for 13 years ot completely desroyed my life and messed my immune system up real properly. As a result I have had 13 years plus of permananet, chronic multiple simultaneous infections in both of my lungs. AT LEAST 2 infections in both lungs EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE 2005!

And as many as 6 at a time, including flu and bacterial pneumonia at that time.

My life is ruled by the most severe respiratory symptoms and excessive mucus congestion you can imagine which is directly related to infections and allergies the worse my infections are the more I suffer. The infections are much more severe than most people would get and it is incredibly hard for me to overcome and beat them and causes the most amount of suffering.

Any germ I pick up develops into a respiratory infection immediately and is very severe quickly. I spent about 8 hours a day managing my symptoms clearing mucus from my lungs and Airways it takes all my energy and free time and is the most painful torturous process.

I can clear my infections with alternative treatments but it takes me sometime and the problem is my immune system so fucked that I am guaranteed to get more infections all of the time and the process starts again but there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it except keep emptying the water out of the boat until I can fix the hole one day I hope.

Hey I don't want any pity I'm just making this point that I totally get you on your OCD about germs. I am forced to be the same because I am so susceptible to new infections I will not touch anything outside of my house unless I absolutely have to. I used dog poop bags for opening and closing shop doors, cash machines etc.
I always carry a bottle of water and soap with me whenever I go out and after I have done my shopping and been very careful not to touch any of my possessions I immediately wash my hands, and will do so again if I visit another shop or think I have touched something which could be harbouring viruses and bacteria.

When people visit my house they are not allowed to touch anything unless they watch their hands not even the door handle on the way out. So I'm pretty extreme but it is completely rational I have to do this to try and reduce the frequency at which I contract new infections.

Rodders I would really love to help you man with your OCD and general difficulties. I wish I could encourage you to relax a little bit about the germs aspect if it is the case that you immune system is not compromised like mine and it is arguably an irrational form of OCD. I know nobody can tell you how to think and feel and you can't help it but I really wish I could help you be more relaxed about this.

I get you as well on your living situation and the potential downsides to being caught regarding your tenancy this is the biggest risk of old now. I agree with @Skunkport also about not being too worried or paranoid about growing these days so many people are doing it and I have heard similar stories of people being caught with 24 plants and nothing happening at all not even a caution.
And things are changing rapidly right now there will be less and less of a spotlight shining on individual personal growers. You haven't been caught yet Rodders and you are getting closer and closer to safety so maybe allow yourself to feel hopeful at least hope definitely helps with fear.

Take care buddy hope you have a good week. Are you planning on getting he DigiTi?:tup:
