CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Progress.

I think that you will find that it will be too late for far too many by the time the jury deliberate!

In the meantime people do not need to use their ability to reason, and instead can blame the govt/NHS further down the line when it is discovered that for decades they were self harming!
Yep, that sounds about right for the culture that we live in today, where people are big on their rights but not so hot when it comes to taking responsibility for themselves and their own health.

So do you want to ban anything that causes self-harm?

My care as a Christian is for people who are ill-informed or just simply uncaring about self harming on such a damaging way.

Well weed isn't as damaging as either the two real damaging substances that are legal. So they don't have to worry really.

I wasn't born a Christian! For 37 years of my life I wasn't, and lived a life that was very different to what it is now. During those years I saw first hand the longterm effects of all sorts of illegal drugs including the one being discussed!
So, although you may convince others of your assurances...

I don't need to convince others of my assurances, I have medical studies.

With what? Only more studies can "counter" them. Over time the research will tend to a conclusion. Stories won't do anything to "counter" anything.

Like this?
"Not surprisingly, marijuana intoxication can cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and problems with learning and memory. Research has shown that, in chronic users, marijuana's adverse impact on learning and memory can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear off.2 As a result, someone who smokes marijuana every day may be functioning at a suboptimal intellectual level all of the time."

You mean unsupported assertion from the government who's track record on drugs is to fire its advisor for speaking out about the effects of drugs? No thanks.
Odd how you don't like my studies which are more long term than the ones linked. Selective sourcing isn't helping.
