UK: The debate over the legal status of cannabis arrives in Surrey
Eagle Radio Friday 13 Sep 2013 A peaceful protest is being held at Guildford's Stoke Park today. The Surrey Cannabis Club is calling for the drug to be made legal. Steve Pavia thinks the UK should copy what is happening in parts of America: "They've regulated medicinal use of cannabis in 18 or 19 states. "In two states, recreational use of cannabis is now legal. "They are making millions through the taxation of this business. "The commercial aspect of cannabis and hemp is massive." The NHS warns smoking cannabis can affect your mental health, as well as causing health problems similar to those experienced by smokers. There are some general types of behaviour that might indicate drug use: Erratic behaviour Irregular sleep patterns Restlessness and fidgeting Slow or slurred speech Extreme hyperactivity and talking for long periods of time about nothing in particular Total inactivity - not wanting to move or do anything at all Enlarged or very small pupils (this can change depending on what drug is taken) Remember that there may be other reasons for different behaviours which are not to do with drug use - many would just associate erratic behaviour with a normal teenager, for example. Other signs of drug use include drug paraphernalia: Hand-rolled cigarettes with filters made from rolled-up card (cannabis) Cigarettes from a packet that have had the tobacco removed, leaving just the filter Rolled up banknotes or other paper Folded or burnt tin foil and/or spoons, syringes and needles (heroin) Little pieces of clingfilm or creased card, used to wrap up drugs Sealable bags around 2 inches square - also used to store drugs Pipes, plastic bottles or cans which have been tampered with e.g. pierced with holes or cut in half, or combined with foil or plastic bags Source: Adfam http://www.adfam.org.uk/ http://www.964eagle.co.uk/news/local-news/1072687/the-debate-over-the-legal-status-of-cannabis-arrives-in-surrey/
